The popular fetish Priest, Togbe Shetor, and two other accomplices arrested by Akyem Tafo Police over pseudocide have been granted bail.
The fetish Priest who operates in Akyem Kukurantumi in the Abuakwa North Municipality of the Eastern Region conspired with his followers to fake his death on Monday according to the local Police.
The news of his alleged passing away went viral as his followers and unsuspecting sympathizers trooped to mourn him amid the firing of gunshots at the shrine and singing of dirges.
The sudden death of the fetish priest Monday sparked fears that he may have died from coronavirus given that he was seen walking around in Koforidua and its environs a few hours before the said death.
Police detectives from Akyem New Tafo dispatched to the shrine rather than found out that the death was staged. The fetish priest managed to escape but two of his followers were arrested.
However, he later reported himself to the Police Wednesday afternoon which after interrogation their caution statements were taken and granted Police inquiry bail.
The suspects are expected to be arraigned before a court at New Tafo-Akyem.
The controversial fetish priest has been involved in many acts of alleged fraud criminalities.
He is currently standing trial before a Circuit Court in Koforidua for molesting some contestants of the 2019 Miss Commonwealth Beauty Pageant.
He allegedly made his victims go naked at the shrine and lashed with a machete after Princess Duncan, the Chief Executive Officer of the Miss Commonwealth Pageant, organizer of the event, had allegedly dragged the beauty contestants to the shrine over a missing GH¢500.
