House of self-proclaimed spiritualist set ablaze after two missing children were found dead in it
Two children who went missing on June 22, 2024, in Banvim, a community within the Kakpagyili electoral area of the Northern Region, have been found deceased.
The victims, Arafat and Ayaa, were last seen on Saturday, June 22, 2024, when they told their parents they were going to visit a neighbor. Unfortunately, they never returned.
Community members searched the house of the alleged neighbour, but the children were nowhere to be found.
Police investigations revealed that the bodies were located in an abandoned car parked behind the suspect’s residence. The remains have been transferred to the Tamale Teaching Hospital’s mortuary.
The incident has led to palpable tension in the area. Prince Kwame Tamakloe, reporting from the scene, expressed that the community is in shock over the children’s deaths. Despite the children’s pictures being displayed throughout the community and broadcasted on radio and television, they were not found until their untimely demise.
The neighbour, a known spiritualist, is suspected of having used the children for ritualistic purposes. Additional body parts were also found at the scene, bringing the total number of bodies to eight. The alleged spiritualist has been apprehended and is currently aiding the police with their inquiries.
In response to the tragedy, the area’s youth have set the suspect’s house on fire.”
