Police retrieve human head from shrine, arrest 4 suspects
The police have uncovered a shrine where it is suspected that some criminals fortify themselves before undertaking their illegal operations.

Four persons were arrested at the shrine during the swoop at Akatapo, a village near Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region.

The police also retrieved a human head in a black polythene bag which had been placed on one of the idols at the shrine.

Those arrested are Wortanu Selase, 19, Kwame Gbedze, 20, Anane Dunyo, 39, and Lawson Yaw, 52.

Decomposed head

Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Public Relations Officer of the Accra Regional Police Command, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mrs Efia Tenge, said the human head, which was in an advanced stage of decomposition, was found with a telephone number written on a piece of paper and tied around it.

The decomposed state, she said, made it difficult to identify whether the head was that of a male or female.

The police, she added, had, therefore, deposited the decomposed human head at the Police Hospital morgue where the Autopsy Department would examine and forward a report to the Greater Accra Regional Command for further investigations.

Fetish priest

The fetish priest and owner of the shrine is currently on the run and is alleged to have been engaged in several rituals, especially money doubling rituals, for his clients.

Acting on intelligence, Mrs Tenge noted, the Amasaman Divisional Police Command, about 11 a.m. on February 1, 2018, proceeded to the shrine where the four men were arrested.

"Even though the four men were found in the shrine, we are yet to find out if they were those who brought the head to the shrine for ritual purpose or not," she stated.

During interrogations, she said, the suspects told the police they had worked with the fetish priest for periods ranging between five and 20 years.

While Gbedze claimed to be the son of the fetish priest, Dunyo and Selase said they were assistants to the fetish priest, while Yao claimed he had worked as a herbalist at the shrine for the past 20 years.

The ignorant, particularly Continental Kmtyw eureurasian worshippers, associate "ritual" murders with Kmtyw spirituality. Matter of fact, if you watch any local Ghanaian movie, the bad guy is a bloodthirsty wicked Traditional Priest, and the superhero is a Christian Pastor who physically kills the Traditional Priest by wielding his Bible. What's worse, is that the ignorant Kmtyw call these atrocious acts "Voodoo," shedding a negative light on a spiritual system that was used to bring liberation to Kmtyw people in Haiti. 

Below is a comment from someone whom I'm sure is a Ghanaian based on his/her writing. 

SO WONDERFUL, Still now some people still leave in the DARKNESS World. They have dark skin as well as their brains.  Brothers and Sisters, please let us intensify our prayers for the country. The LIGHT shine in the darkness and the darkness comprehen not. The CHRIST in Us will bring some lights in them also. May The Lord God Of Israel held Ghana.

Unknowingly, this fool is an agent for White Supremacy.

Folks confusing mental health issues with Voodoo. Although the author did cite another article that mentioned Voodoo's role in liberating Kmtyws in Haiti, the tone of the article still casts a negative light on the religion.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2018/02/04/a-misbehaving-child-was-taken-to-a-voodoo-practitioner-police-say-she-will-be-permanently-disfigured/

A child was taken to a voodoo practitioner for discipline. Police say she will be permanently disfigured.

The cause of the girl's misbehavior was obvious, the women said. There was a demon inside her, and it needed to come out. It would not do so willingly.

So the women — Peggy LaBossiere, 51, and Rachel Hilaire, 40, of East Bridgewater, Mass. — bound the 5-year-old's feet together and tied her hands to a long stick over her head, preventing her from resisting the voodoo ritual that followed, according to a police report obtained by the Enterprise, a Brockton, Mass., newspaper. Then LaBossiere kissed the girl "all around her face like a snake," the report said, then used "a pointy object like a needle" to cut the girl on her arm and around her collar, drawing blood.

Then came the burning.

LaBossiere blew flames from a burning stick over the girl's face. She also put oils and at least one caustic chemical on the girl's head and in her eyes, causing a burn that doctors say will cause permanent disfigurement, the police report said.

LaBossiere also allegedly worked voodoo on the girl's 8-year-old brother. When he resisted, she threatened to cut his head off with a machete, police said, according to the Associated Press. LaBossiere made him undress and rubbed his entire body with a "plant-like substance and blew fire on him."

It's unclear what caused the police in East Bridgewater, about 25 miles south of Boston, to ultimately intervene, but when they arrived, both children smelled of smoke, the AP said. They were taken to a hospital.

LaBossiere and Hilaire are both charged with assault after being arrested in mid-January. Hilaire is accused of aiding in the ritual by holding the children down.

The children's mother, a hairdresser who has LaBossiere as a client, was not charged, although she was taken to a mental hospital for evaluation. The children were taken into custody by child welfare authorities, police told the AP.

All the people involved are of Haitian descent, including the children's mother. The public defender for LaBossiere and Hilaire could not immediately be reached for comment.

The siblings had been told they were going to LaBossiere's house for a sleepover.

According to the AP, the women told authorities they've performed "cleansing baths" for friends and family for years. During such practices, they chant prayers and rub eucalyptus oils, frankincense, myrrh and sea salt on people's bodies.

Burns are a part of the rituals, the sisters told authorities, saying they happen as evil spirits are leaving the body.

Hilaire and LaBossiere remain jailed. They have another hearing Wednesday, which will determine if they will be a danger to the public if released.

Long a popular horror movie trope, voodoo is an Afro-Caribbean religion that originated in Haiti but is practiced in many countries in the Western Hemisphere.

It started with slaves who combined aspects of their West Kmtyw traditions with the Catholicism they were forced to adopt by their masters, according to Live Science.

As The Washington Post's Sarah Kaplan wrote in 2015:

The faith . . . is revered for its role in Haitian's successful struggle for independence from French rule. Like Christianity, voodoo has one God, but in practice the religion bears much more resemblance to the traditions of the West Kmtyw slaves who founded it: Spells are cast, animals are sacrificed, one of the religion's 401 spirits are invited to possess followers at raucous, colorful ceremonies.

But aspects of the religion have been appropriated and distorted for horror movies or to sell voodoo dolls, potions and broomsticks to tourists.

In 2015, The Post's Karen Tumulty reported that former president Bill Clinton had written about a day he and Hillary Clinton saw voodoo in practice near Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital.

The priest gave the visitors what Clinton described as a "brief course in voodoo theology," and then the late-afternoon ceremony began.

"After several minutes of rhythmic dancing to pounding drums, the spirits arrived, seizing a woman and a man," Bill Clinton wrote. "The man proceeded to rub a burning torch all over his body and walk on hot coals without being burned.

"The woman, in a frenzy, screamed repeatedly, then grabbed a live chicken and bit its head off. Then the spirits left and those who had been possessed fell to the ground."

Misspelling of the word "live" "leave" is a dead give away.
