Ghana Police Exhume Multiple Human Remains in Central Tongu Shrine

The Homicide Unit of the Ghana Police Service has uncovered and exhumed multiple human remains buried in a shrine at Gblorkope in the Central Tongu District. The operation follows a suspected ritual murder and the disappearance of 28-year-old Nelson Anyana.

The investigation marked a breakthrough in the alleged murder of Nelson, resulting in the discovery of multiple human bones, some buried beneath idols in the shrine. Six individuals have been arrested and arraigned in connection with the alleged murder.

The suspects, all residents of Mafi Adidome, include Augustina Fiawoyife, Wisdom Hedidor, Courage Bedzo, Gblor Noah (a fetish priest), Gblor John (a security guard), and Gblor Johannes (a lotto writer). They have been charged with abetment of crime to wit murder and conspiracy to commit crime to wit murder.

Police investigators say further forensic analysis is underway to determine the identities of the additional victims and file appropriate charges against the suspects. The Ghana Police Service has reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing the case thoroughly and ensuring all perpetrators face the full rigors of the law.

The discovery has sparked outrage and fear among residents of the Central Tongu District, with many calling for swift justice and a broader investigation into possible ritualistic networks in the region.
