During his memorial service on 14 June 2008, "another woman aside his already known mother, Madam Victoria Cosmos Gonsalves who hails from Atsiavi in the Volta region, claimed ownership of Kwame. One Miss Koffie believed to be a native of Cape Coast created a scene outside the church hall wailing and shouting that Kwame is her son."[1] The woman claimed on a radio station that she has evidence proving that the late Owusu-Ansah was her son. When asked by the radio presenter how she met Owusu-Ansah's late father, "Miss Koffie said she was in the brigade and Kwame's father was in the military so they met at Burma Camp where they both lived."[1] On Saturday 28 June 2008, exactly a week after Owusu-Ansah's burial, family members called a press conference and denied the woman's claims.[1]
