A young man who did not take kindly to being fined GH¢1,000 after he had accused his wife of extra-marital affair and sought the assistance of a juju man at Asasetre to liquidate his wife and her entire family, has been arrested by the police.
The suspect, according to the police, was arrested on the day the ritual to wipe out the entire family was to be performed.
He was asked to bring one black dog, a he-goat, drinks and an amount of GH¢4.50 for the ritual.
Unfortunately for him, the black dog which was to be used in the performance of the ritual died on the way to the shrine, which sent a strong signal to the juju man that the plan should not be executed.
The juju man, realising how dangerous it could be to carry out the ritual, informed the police, who arrested the young man when he eventually arrived at the shrine.
According to the Axim District Police Commander, DSP Lovelace Tetutor, the suspect, Vincent Assan, a cleaner at a hospital outside Asasetre, said his wife had been sleeping around with other men.
He said Assan's allegation generated several confrontations and fights between him and his wife.
Consequently, the woman dragged Assan to the Axim Magistrate Court, where he was fined GH¢ I, 000, which he paid.
Assan then decided that his wife and her family would not live to enjoy the money.
He, therefore, allegedly sought the assistance of the juju man, Okomfo Kwame Ampofo.
According to the police, the assignment the suspect wanted the Okomfo to perform was to wipe out his wife and all her relatives from this world.
DSP Tetutor said the motive of the suspect was to ensure that none of them lived to enjoy the money.
Okomfo Ampofo told the police that the ritual Assan wanted him to perform was very dangerous and because he did not want to kill, he decided to inform the police, who went to the shrine on the day the ritual was to be performed and arrested the suspect.
Assan is currently in police custody, pending further investigations.
