Kwahu Traditional Council bans invocation of curses over increase in deaths

The Kwahu Traditional Council has forbidden invocation of curses in the area following the surge in such acts by residents including Christians and Muslims.

“It is very disheartening to note that, at least 20 cases of invocation of curses are recorded in the Kwahu area every day, even in the olden days when Christianity had not spread, invoking of curses wasn’t rampant but now even Christians, Mallams and traditionalists are all invoking curses, everybody is into it. We have forbidden invocation of curses with immediate effect, anyone caught culpable will be dealt with.”

Nana Simpe Wiredu explained that at least 20 complaints over invoked curses are recorded in the tradition area daily.

He added that the situation is affecting the traditional council as many young people are dying as a result.

The Omanhene of Kwahu Traditional Area, Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II on his part also called for unity among residents and a strong support for the traditional Council to champion development agenda for Kwahu.

He also assured that, he will continue to pursue a remedy to the perennial clashes between farmers and Fulani nomads.
