The chiefs, clad in funeral clothes also sacrificed a lamb at the spot where the deceased soldier was murdered.
The purification rights are meant to ward off any curse the soldier’s death might bring to the area.

Speaking during the rituals, the Akyeamehene for Denkyira Traditional Council, Nana Akomea Ntriakwa said: “We are unhappy about what happened and we are doing this to cleanse the land so that something like this does not happen again.
“Although it happened at Denkyira-Obuasi, it happened on Denkyira land and has dragged the name of the town in the mud. So we are here to cleanse the town and the whole of Dekyira so that peace will prevail and life will go back to normal.”
Meanwhile, police have so far arrested a total of 42 persons in connection with the murder of the soldier, Captain Maxwell Mahama.
