Pastor, three others arrested for attempted grave robbery

A pastor and three others have been arrested at Abura Batayaa in the

Abura Asebu Kwamankese District of the Central Region for attempting to loot a grave.

Speaking to Kasapa FM News’ Yaw Boagyan, the Assembly Member for the area,

Godlove Blankson, said the suspects were arrested at midnight on Tuesday,

March 30 with cutlasses, schnapps, shovels, eggs, boiled yam, pick-axe

amongst others at a nearby cemetery.

The Assemblyman added that they suspect those arrested came to the

area to loot the grave and take away human skeletons as directions

given to them by their spiritual fathers. He added that the suspects

were probably going to use the human skeletons for money rituals.

He, however, revealed that the suspects claimed that there’s gold in

the land and they were there to dig it up. The Assemblyman disclosed

that many graves in the area have been looted in the past and

suspected the group of committing those acts.
