Fetish priest punishes mental patient for grandmother's sins
A 50-year-old widow is at the mercy of a fetish
priest who is demanding she makes good a
commitment by her late mother-in-law to pay him a
cow if she gave birth to a male child.

The spiritualist insists failure in fulfilling
the promise is the cause of ill-health and
disappearance of the now 30-year-old son who was
born out of his supposed intervention.

He wants the mother to make available a cow worth
GHC15,000 to pacify the gods as a condition for
finding her missing child and curing him of the
sickness.

Josephine Ampiah’s in-law, Afia Akyere, led her
to consult the ‘juju’ man for assistance to
enable her to give birth safely.

The old woman who is now deceased made a
commitment to compensate the gods with a cow if
the baby turned out to be a male and a piece of
land for a female.

Seven months later, pregnant Josephine left her
matrimonial home in Cape Coast for Sekondi over
allegations her husband had been cheating on her.

Nine and a half months into the pregnancy,
Josephine had still not given birth.

She met a fetish priestess who claimed the baby
in her womb had been spiritually tied to a stake
and needed to be untied.

The spiritualist took Josephine to a cemetery
deep in the night for rituals after which she left
the pregnant woman naked on a grave for two hours
under a linguist’s watch.

Four years after Josephine gave birth, her in-law
reminded her of her promise to the fetish priest
but she ignored her.

Thirty years down the lane, Josephine claims her
son begun complaining of a strange condition and
later disappeared.

Josephine suspects her son’s plight had
everything to do with her in-law’s promise to
the fetish priest but it is too late as Afia
Akyere and her son (Josephine’s ex-husband) are
dead.

Now, the spiritualist tells Josephine to find her
son, she would provide a cow worth GHC15000 a
demand, according to her, she is unable to meet.
