Mysterious killings at Sefwi alarm traditional council
The incidence of murder cases within some sections of Sefwi and its environs in the Western North Region has been of grave concern to the Sefwi Chirano Traditional Council.
Some of such mysterious killings took place recently at Sefwi Wiawso, Sefwi Anhiwaso, and Sefwi Chirano, specifically within the confines of Sefwi Bekwai.
In a statement endorsed by the Paramount Chief of Chirano and Vice president of the Western North Regional House of Chiefs, Okogyeman Kwaku Gyamprah II, the traditional authority said “I have been devastated by this ill development as the traditional ruler of my area, and hereby extend my condolences to the bereaved family of the deceased”.
Instances of such heinous situations include an 11-year-old girl who was believed to have taken her own life in Sefwi Wiawso.
Also, some Weeks later, the headless body of a 27-year-old woman was discovered in an uncompleted building at Sefwi Bekwai.
These heinous encounters coupled with other instances have left residents in these communities in fear,
triggering the traditional authorities to appeal to the security authorities to come in with their expertise to address the current security concerns in the area.
“I, therefore, condemn this act and unequivocally state that, under no circumstance, should any human being lose his or her life in such a circumstance. I am passionately appealing to the security agencies to do the best thereof, to bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to book in earnest,” the statement added.
