A man believed to be in his 70s, who claimed to be a wizard, was on
Wednesday found on the banks of the Okrudu River at Kaimebre, a
settlement near the Kasoa New Market in the Central Region of Ghana
The man, who gave his name as Charles Atta, looked frail, pale and bore protruding breasts like that of a teenage girl.
His
body was smeared with mud from the bank of the river where he was found
by two brothers, Liberty Obeng and Innocent Obeng, who claimed they
found the strange man crying for help.
The two
brothers told reporters that the self-acclaimed wizard confessed to
them that he was in the company of colleagues, including a medical
doctor and were flying to Cape Coast for a meeting when he was forced
down.
According to him, they were flying over a church where an
all-night vigil was being held when he crash- landed at Servant Kings
International School.
"When we as asked him where he was coming
from, Atta told us that he was from Akuapem Akropong but was flying to
Cape Coast to attend a meeting for witches and wizards," he said.
Charles also confessed that the
two puffy protrusions on his chest were breasts taken from his 16-year-
old granddaughter and that he normally borrowed them for his night
activities. Ehn?
The two brothers said they were
initially confused and bewildered by the weird sight of the man, and not
knowing what to do him took him to Pink FM, a local radio station at
Kasoa for help.
When the strange announcement was made on radio,
hundreds of people besieged the premises of the radio station to see the
suspected wizard.
Upon hearing the news, the Kasoa District
Police dispatched a number of police personnel to the station to save
the victim from being lynched.
Superintendent Samuel Tabril
Punobyin told the paper that the police did not investigate spiritual
matters and that the suspected wiz-ard could therefore not be charged.
He
said the police would look for the family erf the man and hand him over
to them. Charles Atta is still in the custody .of the Kasoa Police.
Must it always be Africa. Why don't we hear of wizards and witches crash landing in Europe, US, Asia and the rest? God please help Africa, our heart are too dark.
