Watch Video
In a shocking and trending video circulating on social media today, November 19, 2023, a young man referred to as “Togo” is captured attempting to use his Ghanaian friend for money rituals.
The video unfolds as the young man lures his friend, who was engaged in illegal mining (galamsey), to accompany him to a remote location. Little did the Ghanaian friend know, he was being led into a trap where the Togolese man intended to sacrifice him for money rituals, with the assistance of an herbalist known as Baba Haruna.
Fortunately, Baba Haruna, upon learning of the sinister plan, alerted the police, leading to a covert operation. The video captures the harrowing moment when the tied-up Ghanaian friend pleads with his would-be assailant, questioning the motive behind the impending act.
Security agents, without uniforms, to maintain discretion, discreetly infiltrate the secluded area—a mud-built cocoa farm hut. In a swift intervention, they apprehend the Togolese man, who is handed a bag containing an alleged sum of 80,000 Ghana cedis.
The operational video has been widely shared on various social media platforms, showcasing the moment of the arrest. The young man is now in custody, and the motive behind his actions is revealed to be purely financial when questioned.
While some officers contemplated administering physical punishment, others opposed the idea.
