The charms allegedly used by the children

Children caught in occultic practice
Three children, aged between 12 and 16 years who
were allegedly practicing occultism in a container
at Chapel Hill area in Takoradi have been arrested
and are in the custody of Domestic Violence and
Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana
police.

Another child, who was believed to be ‘the
grandmaster’ and a resident of Takoradi was on
the run with another culprit.

Information DAILY GUIDE gathered indicated that
the children were engaged in the alleged nefarious
practice because they wanted to be strong and
powerful spiritually.

Others also alleged that the children were
preparing charms for other young people for them
to become attractive to girls also known as ‘for
girls’.

An eye witness told DAILY GUIDE that a female
resident in the area used to operate a boutique in
the container but thieves broke into it and made
away with some of the items.

“So the owner of the container, one Aunty
Kwansima, emptied the container, which was located
behind her house, as she looked for another place
to put the container”, the eyewitness
indicated.

DAILY GUIDE gathered that on January 28, 2017, a
gentleman decided to weed around the container and
saw some strange items in it and so the following
day, he decided to hide somewhere to see which
people would come there.

After a few minutes, he saw five young boys
entering the container so he quickly informed the
owner of the container who together with her
husband entered it and managed to arrest three of
the young boys.

Upon interrogation, the children admitted
practicing occultism for different reasons and
that the container was their meeting place.

They were reported to have said they were
introduced to the practice by the grandmaster who
was on the run because they wanted to get more
money.

The children were later handed over to the police
pending further investigations.

DAILY GUIDE gathered that even though some of the
parents of the children were informed about the
arrest of their kids, they never set foot at the
police station alleging that their children were
stubborn and needed to be punished.

Meanwhile, the owner of the container had
indicated that she would take a new container from
the parents of the children.

According to her what the kids were doing in her
container had lots of spiritual implications and
could adversely affect her business if she
continued to sell in it.
