Some superstitious ritualists would simply not allow the dead to rest in peace in their graves as they have decided to invade the Presbyterian Cemetary at Abuom in Ahafo Region and dig up human skulls and bones ostensibly to be used for money rituals.
The three young men; 35-year old Peter Foh, 30-year old Berko Isaac, and 31-year old Yaw Yeridie are currently in the grips of the Kukuom District Police Command and are being processed for court.
Investigations revealed that the three suspects went to the Aboum Presbyterian Cemetery and dug open a female grave from where they removed the skulls and bones.
Interrogation revealed they intended to use the human bones for rituals.
“At 11 pm [on Sunday], we had information that two people were found with a box containing human parts and so they were arrested and sent to the Abuom police station but the people were trooping in to lynch them. So I asked the patrolmen to move in and rescue them so they were rescued and sent them to the Kukuom Police Station,” DSP Lawrence Adomberi, the Kukuom District Police Commander, told Citi News.
The Police commander revealed that the two persons were arrested initially but they blew the cover of the person who sent them to dig up the female gave.
“He was also arrested and the three of them are now in custody pending for investigations,” DSP Lawrence Adomberi added.
“My information is that the body parts were exhumed at Abuom Presbyterian Cemetery and for now we are told they are ritualists.”
The development has created some fear and worry among residents of Abuom near Sankore at at Kukuom in the Asunafo South District of the Ahafo Region where the grave was opened.
Several of the residents have started visiting the graves of their dead relatives just to be sure they have not been looted in similar style.
MORE SOON.
