He was the husband of Honourable Queenstar Maame Pokua Sawyer, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Agona East.
The final funeral rites for the late statesman were held at the Christ the King Catholic Church in Accra on Friday, July 25, 2025.

In a TikTok video seen by YEN.com.gh, the politician, who is a former Member of Parliament for Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem (KEEA) and Presidential Candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), appeared to be in a disturbed emotional state.
His wife, Yvonne, looked more relaxed by his side as he fought to keep his composure.
Nduom was later observed in conversation with his wife after he regained his composure.
Dr Nduom has undergone several challenges in recent years after the government shut down his bank, the GN Bank, as part of the financial sector cleanup in 2018.
In recent years, he has kickstarted a campaign to get his bank reinstated, but has yet to yield major success.
