Curses Invoked on NPP; Angry chief fines NDC Executives GHC10k, 10 Sheep etc.
The Effutuakwa Traditional Council has delivered a stern warning to the executives of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Assin Central, citing contempt for breaking customary regulations in the Fosu Municipality of the Central Region.
The council has given the NDC party officials two weeks to perform necessary rituals to reverse the curses invoked on the community.
The party executives are to bring these items; ten sheep, six boxes of Heineken Aromatic Schnapps, and GHC 10,000.00 to perform the rites on their behalf.
According to Kasapa News, the NDC executives had accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate of bringing individuals from Kasoa to transfer their votes to the Assin Central Constituency.
In response, the NDC officials, led by Agartha Yawson, Assin Central NDC Women’s Organizer, invoked river gods, Antoa Nyama and Betinsin, to deal with anyone who intended to rig the December general election in the constituency.
The act of invoking curses has been met with strong condemnation by the Traditional Council, led by Assin Fosu Queenmother Nana Afranse IV and Okumaneng Baffuor Asare Kyeahene II. The chiefs and elders of the community have expressed their anger and frustration at the party officials’ actions, emphasizing that invoking curses is not allowed in the town.

“This act is a taboo,” said Nana Afranse IV. “Invoking curses is not permitted on Effutuakwa land. It’s an act that our traditional authority frowns upon. If you invoke a curse and slaughter a sheep and blood oozes onto the ground, it means you are calling for blood. It’s taboo for you to call for the blood of any inhabitant of this community.”
The Traditional Council has also stressed that politicians should refrain from invoking curses, citing instances where leaders from both sides of the political divide have never resorted to such actions.
“We’ve never heard John Mahama, Bawumia, or Asiedu Nketiah invoking a curse, nor have we heard NPP General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua invoking a curse. So why is it that those of you down the political ladder are the ones invoking curses to kill ourselves to gain power?”
The council has given the NDC executives two weeks to deliver the required items to perform the necessary rituals to reverse the curses. Failure to comply will result in dire consequences for the community.
