Flashback: Fetish Priest Jailed For Life
In March 2020, one fetish priest named Kwabena Thomas Oduro was sentenced to death in a similar case heard by a High Court in Koforidua.
The spiritualist was found guilty of murdering Joseph Affenyi Nyame, a student of Kwahu-Ridge SHS, and Michael Ofori Agyepong, a storekeeper in 2013.
The facts of the case presented to the court, and reported by the Ghana News Agency were that;
In the early part of February 2013, the deceased, Michael Ofori Agyepong informed his friends Kwadwo Anane and Joseph Affenyi Nyame, that the fetish priest at Kwahu-Atwedie could make a charm for wooing women called ‘for girls’ as well as ‘double money’ for them.
On February 18, 2013, the three friends set off from Ngleshie Amanfrom to the accused person at Kwahu-Atwedie with a cash amount of GH¢1,800.00.
The fetish priest collected the money and promised to double it to GH¢3,600.00 for them.
In the process of performing the spiritual rites, the fetish priest invited the three to the bush at the outskirts of the town and made them undress and remain in their boxer shorts only.
He then gave them some fresh eggs and concoctions to drink and they soon became drowsy.
Afterwards, he butchered all three with a machete and bolted away with their monies and luggage including laptops and mobile phones.
