A disturbing incident has occurred at the Sehwi Asawinso cemetery in the Sehwi Wiawso Municipality, where over 20 graves have been desecrated by suspected ritualists. The vandals reportedly exhumed skeletons and other remains from the graves, causing outrage and concern among local chiefs and residents.
The unholy act was discovered earlier this week when locals visiting the cemetery noticed numerous graves had been tampered with. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that body parts and entire skeletons had been removed, leading to suspicions of ritual activities.
Abusuapanin Kofi Nkrumah of Sehwi Asawinso expressed shock and disappointment over the incident. He indicated that the unholiness was a grave disrespect to their ancestors and the deceased. Describing the incident as offensive to their customs and traditions, he called for immediate investigations to apprehend those responsible and prevent further occurrences.
Additionally, the queen of Sehwi Asawinso, Nana Hemaa Ama Kyiniwaa, said they were putting in place measures to refrain people from visiting the cemetery without permission. She further indicated that there would be sanctions for any person who forbids their directives.
