The suspect is currently in police detention assisting the police in their investigations after he was apprehended with a human skull and other parts at the community cemetery.

An illegal miner is in the grips of the police at Manso Adimasa in the Manso Adubia district of the Ashanti region for an alleged grave looting.

An eye witness and a local reporter in the area, Abdul Malik Anokye told UltimateFM the suspect is currently in police detention assisting the police in their investigations after he was apprehended with a human skull and other parts at the community cemetery.

“He claims it was part of their ritual performances as ordered by an unnamed Mallam in order to succeed in their galamsey activities. They were required to bring a skull and other bones of a human being,” Abdul Malik Anokye disclosed.

The suspect whose name has been withheld by the police together with other three colleagues, decided to dig a corpse from the community cemetery at Adimasa in the Manso Adubia district in the Ashanti region, a mission that did not succeed as they were caught.

His accomplices, however, took to their heels while he got arrested by members of the community watchdog committee.
