The young men, who were not natives of Akutuase, had come to the town to bury their friend, whose father is from the area. The incident was confirmed by the Chief of the area, Nana Kofi Bediako, in an interview with Adom News.
Chief Bediako stated that the Traditional Council has implemented punitive measures to prevent such acts from occurring again. The father of the deceased and the individual who recorded and posted the video on social media have been fined. The fines are part of efforts to purify ‘Brosambour,’ the town’s sacred god, during the ‘Awukude3’ festival on July 17, 2024.
“The Traditional Council has taken serious steps to ensure that such despicable acts do not recur,” Nana Bediako affirmed.
