Several traditionalists in Tema went through the streets of the city raining curses on the Ghana Navy over the death of two young adults of the community who were reportedly killed in a clash with personnel of the Navy.
According to a report by graphic.gh.com, the victims succumbed to gunshot wounds they sustained during the clash with the Navy on April 12, 2024, during this year’s Kplejoo festival, when the youth engaged in a street procession.
Residents of Tema are demanding justice for the killing of the two young men.
They say that no action has been taken by the leadership of the Ghana Armed Forces to bring the perpetrators of the gruesome murders of the youth to book.
Members of the community have been holding protests since the incident demanding justice.
A viral video of one of the protests shows several ritualists, both male and female, raining curses on the perpetrators of the alleged crime.
The traditionalists could be seen in the video, some half naked, pouring libations and chanting on the
streets.
After their incantations, they all proceeded to simultaneously break eggs and the bottles they were holding on the street.
