The police commander said that Eklu, upon arrest, confessed to killing an 80-year-old woman but said that it was on the request of the fetish priest, who promised to pay him an amount of Gh¢50, 000.

He said that Eklu led the police to exhume the body of the old lady, which he buried in a shallow grave in a community called Dabodabo, on the road to Anum in the Eastern region.
