The man is the subject of an intense interrogation while being surrounded by a group of people, with one man audibly demanding an explanation for the heinous actions he committed against his own sister-in-law.
As the scene progresses in the video, a woman can be seen yelling at the unidentified perpetrator nonstop in the Akan language, further inciting the public’s outrage.
Authorities are scrambling to look into the incident and make sure justice is done because the ritual’s authenticity and precise location are still unknown.
On various social media platforms, internet users have discussed this hot topic. Many people believe that after the cleansing, the man should be given to the police.
In other news, with effect from May 17, transportation fares are anticipated to decrease by 10%.
This follows the expectation of a decrease in fuel prices.
In a statement released on Monday, May 15, transport companies said, “In line with the administrative arrangement on public transport fares, the road transport operators have reduced public transport fares by 10 percent to accommodate for the reduction in the price of petroleum products observed over the period.”
“We further request all operators, commuters and the general public to kindly cooperate for the successful implementation of the new fares”, the statement concluded.
Earlier on, from the second window of May, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers Ghana (COPEC) forecasts a decline in fuel prices.
The decrease is attributable to a decline in the price of crude oil on the global market.
Another factor was the Ghana cedi’s relative stability in comparison to other trade currencies, particularly the US dollar.
