The Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the Accra District Court has remanded businessman who was arrested on Friday, June 3 for attempting to use his daughter for rituals in Oyibi.
The businessman, Evans Mensah, was arrested for attempting to use his daughter for money rituals at Oyibi, a suburb of Accra.
Nana Adu-Boafo, the herbalist alerted the Police when Evans Mensah brought his daughter to be used for money rituals.
In a video Nana Adu-Boafo mentioned that he is disciplined military man hence his decision to call the police on the father of 12.
“The girl’s father came to see me, he told me he just landed in the country after staying overseas for a while, and it hasn’t been easy for him. He told me he is a father of 12 and is offering two of them for money rituals. He offered me GHS 10,000 and other good surprises when the job is done. Sadly, he had just picked the daughter up during school hours and told her he was going to get her a new dress.

“Yes, I am a herbalist, but I am also a military man. I am very disciplined. I don’t engage in any sinister activities. I want to prove to the world that herbalists are not as evil as they are painted. We are not killers as is portrayed in movies, we are healers. I have the little girl he brought for me to kill,” Nana Adu-Boafo narrated to the police in the video.
