Two men have landed in trouble after
drinking drinking a concoction for money rituals prepared by a mallam.
The men identified as Ben and Kwame Budu, 26 and 46 years respectively,

the ‘Mallam’ on Tuesday. The ‘Mallam’ and his accomplices have been
arrested by the Regional Police Command to assist with investigations.
Giving details of how the incidend
happened, a Cousin to one of the victims Kwabena Koranteng said, the
Mallam and his accomplices were first consulted by the duo to assist

forefathers.
According to Koranteng, the Mallam and
his cohorts were hosted in Korley-Nkwanta and after collecting GHc700
from the family to perform some rituals, they later went to Afiafi, the
Village where the gold is believed to have been hidden at midnight to
perform the rituals and dig out the hidden gold.

family not to open the pot to prevent them from spiritual deaths until
the agreed fees of GHC3, 600 charged in addition to a cow and a Sheep
were paid to perform rituals to cleanse the “gold” before viewing and
selling.

audacious member of the family broke the pot to confirm the claims of
the Mallam but discovered that the pot which the Mallam claimed
contained gold was a hoax and instead was filled with stones.

accosted the mallam and his followers and asked them to refund all
monies taken from the family and other residents which allegedly
amounted to over GHC7000.
