Chiefs in Kukuom, in the Asunafo South Constituency, Ahafo Region, have invoked curses on those responsible for the violence that erupted at a registration center last Saturday during the ongoing limited registration exercise in the town.
The incident resulted in severe injuries to one individual.
During a press conference, the chiefs expressed their dismay, performed traditional rituals, and made offerings to the ancestors.
The Dwafohene, Nana Oteng Boateng, condemned the violence perpetrated by armed individuals who are not indigenous to the town, labeling their actions as unacceptable.
He emphasized that such behavior tarnishes Kukuom’s reputation and summoned the perpetrators to face consequences from the ancestors and local water bodies within the Kukuom enclave.
Nana Oteng Boateng stressed that the people of Kukuom are known for their peace-loving nature and condemned the intrusion of outsiders who identify themselves as vigilantes, causing chaos and staining the town’s image.
The Paramount Chief of Kukuom, Osahene Kwaku Atakyi, urged the Ghana Police Service to apprehend all individuals involved in the shooting and ensure they face the full force of the law as a deterrent to others.
