The bodyguard of 2024 presidential candidate for The New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, has been captured on video assaulting a man during a funeral in Mampong, located in the Ashanti Region.
Cheddar was among the dignitaries who joined Asanteman to mourn the late Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, the Mamponghene and Krontihene of Asanteman.
The burial rites took place from June 6 to June 9, 2025, in Asante Mampong.
In a viral video, Cheddar is seen entering a house with his entourage.
At the entrance, a man believed to be among the mourners was spotted standing near the gate, an area that some reports suggest was restricted to the general public.
The bodyguard swiftly grabbed the man by the neck and delivered several heavy punches, causing him to fall to the ground.
After the assault, the bodyguard left the man and continued to follow Cheddar.
It is still unclear what exactly triggered the physical altercation.
