A
man accused of stealing a laptop has been left scarred for life after a
failed spiritual attempt by a fetish priest prove he is guilty.
A
failed ‘spiritual exercise’ by a fetish priest to identify a laptop
thief has left the palm of a 16-year-old boy burnt at Akyem Sekyere in
the Eastern Region, AdomNews.
The
report revealed that the boy identified as Yaw Prince, was accused of
stealing a laptop and was sent to the 22-year-old fetish priest, Kwasi
Afari, to use spiritual means to establish if it was the Prince who
stole it.
At
the shrine, the fetish priest was said to have force-opened the right
palm of Prince and put the gunpowder into it. The priest then lit the
gunpowder in the hands of Prince, causing his palm to burn.
The
fetish priest was on Tuesday arrested by the Police but was granted
bail to assist in investigations into the incident which happened three
weeks ago.
Prince
is currently receiving treatment at the Enyiresi Government Hospital,
Kofi Baffour Nketia, an opinion leader at Akyem Sekyere told Onua FM
Wednesday.
According
to him Baffour Nketia, Prince was not taken to hospital for immediate
medical attention but was kept at home, causing his right palm to become
an infected sore. He said it was yesterday that he got information that
Prince was sick and that he was being kept at home.
He
said he went to the house where the ordeal of Prince was narrated to
him. Baffour Nketia said Prince’s mother claimed she did not have money
that is why she could not take the her son to hospital for medical
attention.
