30-Year-Old ‘Sakawa’ Boy Arrested after Digging Grave for Human Bones at Bolga in the Upper East Region
Police in Bolgatanga are now holding a 30-year-old man after he was caught in the act of excavating a grave in the Tindonmolgo community, an incident that has sent shivers through the area and raised urgent fears of ritualistic activities.
The suspect, whose nocturnal project was abruptly halted, did not go quietly. It was the vigilant community members who first descended on the cemetery, apprehending the man and holding him for the authorities.
When police arrived to take him into custody, a bizarre explanation tumbled out.
The digger claimed confusion, a case of mistaken identity in the moonlit night. He insisted he had been trying to dispose of ritual remains and had mistaken the solemn mound of a human grave for a mere anthill.
But the disturbed earth told a different story. The careful, though crude, excavation aimed at the final resting place of someone’s loved one pointed to a far more sinister objective: the search for human bones.
As the suspect sits in a cell, the Bolgatanga Police have confirmed that intensive investigations are ongoing.
Their mission is to peel back the layers of his story, to establish the full circumstances behind the unfortunate incident.
