claimed to.be a wizard, was on
Wednesday found on the banks of the
Okrudu River at Kaimebre, a
settlement near the Kasoa New Market
in the Central Region Ghana.
The man, who gave his name as
Charles Atta, looked frail, pale and
bore protruding br**sts like that of a
teenage girl.
His body was smeared with mud from
the bank of the river where he was
found by two brothers, Liberty Obeng
and Innocent Obeng, who claimed they
found the strange man crying for help.
The two brothers told Daily Guide
reporters that the self-acclaimed
wizard confessed to them that he was
in the company of colleagues,
including a medical doctor and were
flying to Cape Coast for a meeting
when he was forced down.
According to him, they were flying
over a church where an all-night vigil
was being held when he crash- landed
at Servant Kings International School.
“When we as ked him where he was
coming from, Atta told us that he was
from Akuapem Akropong but was
flying to Cape Coast to attend a
meeting for witches and wizards,” he
said.
Charles also confessed that the two
puffy protrusions on his chest were
br**sts taken from his 16-year- old
granddaughter and that he normally
borrowed them for his night activities.
The two brothers said they were
initially confused and bewildered by
the weird sight of the man, and not
knowing what to do him took him to
Pink FM, a local radio station at Kasoa
for help.
When the strange announcement was
made on radio, hundreds of people
besieged the premises of the radio
station to see the suspected wizard.
Upon hearing the news, the Kasoa
District Police dispatched a number of
police personnel to the station to save
the victim from being lynched.
Superintendent Samuel Tabril
Punobyin told the paper that the
police did not investigate spiritual
matters and that the suspected wiz-
ard could therefore not be charged.
He said the police would look for the
family erf the man and hand him over
to them. Charles Atta is still in the
custody .of the Kasoa Police.
