The parents told Bryt News due to stigmatization,they took Kennedy to a shrine for supposed healing of his hearing loss but the fetish priest suggested to kill Kennedy to end stigmatization against the family however they didn’t consent rather took him to church of Pentecost.
“When we gave birth to our children ,we didn’t know Christ so we were I’ll advised to send the children to a shrine for supposed healing and prevention of such disability. Because of the stigmatization by the community we went .The fetish priest told us he can’t heal the children but will give us some egg to give to Kennedy to eat and die but we didn’t consent . I gave my life to Christ and started praying and fasting for my children ..now this is what the Lord has done . I want to tell everyone that ,God is great amd he continue to do miracles .Juju will not help you come to Christ he will shape your destiny” Deaconess Beatrice Twumasi Akosua Boatemaa said.
