Prophetess Floda Ekpe, the woman of God who allegedly demanded the head of a 12- year -old boy for rituals in the Volta Region has denied the allegation, explaining that the Okada rider who committed the crime is mentally challenged.
25-year-old Okada rider, Dovi Tsidi chopped off the head of a 12-year-old boy, identified as Kofi at Aflokofe in the Volta Region.
According to reports, after cutting the head, the Okada rider crossed a dam with the lifeless body of the 12-year-old and sent it to a prophetess in the area for money rituals.

Giving a detailed report on Atinka TV’s morning show, Ghana Nie, hosted by Ekourba Gyasi Simpremu, our AMV reporter based in the Volta Region, Christopher Pappoe who went to the scene, said the residents explained that the motor rider was seen the whole day riding around with the boy until at a certain point they heard the boy screaming for help behind a dam.
He said when the residents got to the river, there was no canoe to convey them to the bank and so before they had a speed boat and got there, the okada rider had already cut the boy’s head and fled with the head.
He was of the belief that the boy would have been saved if the residents had a canoe in time.
Our Reporter said the residents traced the blood of the boy to the house of the Prophetess and when they searched the house, they saw that the Rider had left the boy’s head at the back of the house and gone to hide at an uncompleted building of the prophetess.
When he was caught, the Okada Rider said, “The Prophetess sent him to cut someone’s head for her and that she will give him money,” Christopher Pappoe reported.
But the Prophetess who is at the Shelter Pentecostal Church Prayer Centre at Aflorkope said she did not send him.
“She said the boy has a mental problem and that he goes up and down and he sleeps in the uncompleted building and that she did not send him to do cut anybody’s head,” the Reported said.
According to the reporter, the Okada rider and the victim lived in the same house as family members, although the boy was an orphan.
The two were busted and are now in police custody, assisting with investigations.
Meanwhile, the Body of the deceased has been deposited at the Roman Catholic Hospital, Battor for preservation and autopsy.
In a latest development, the two with one patient who was receiving treatment at the Shelter Pentecostal Church Prayer Centre have been arraigned before the Dabala Magistrate Court.
