Police arrested the Ningo ritual murder suspect and fetish priest. Addo fled to Fosu Abogyeseso, a Central Region village near Assin Fosu, to build another temple. His three wives and brother, David, who was under police surveillance, were also arrested.
The Chronicle states that the deceased’s relatives reported a fetish priest at Fosu Abogyeseso village after the ritual murder was published on Monday, November 14, 2022, along with suspect photos.
Tema police and the departed family worked together to find the murderers using the intelligence.
Last Friday, during the Ghana-Uruguay world cup match, the operation team arrived in Fosu Abogyeseso with a copy of The Chronicle newspaper to launch the operation. As courtesy, they informed the chief of their presence.
After the referee’s whistle, the family’s vehicle waited until the fugitive fetish priest, Addo, emerged from a place to grab a ride after watching the match.
The deceased’s family confronted him, and a swarm of criminals attacked them.
The family justified their actions with The Chronicle at this crucial time.
Luckily, the police arrived and took possession of the criminal priest, who continued to the hamlet to find his new shrine/camp vacant. His wives and brother, David, left at the first sign of arrest.
Tema Police station monitored the main suspect. The community arrested and gave the three wives and David to the chief. Ningo police transported them to Tema police.
The Chronicle previously published the story, which led to the key suspect’s arrest;

According to security and civil sources, on Thursday, November 10, 2022, a squad of Tema Regional Police Command investigators and well-trained armed men attacked Mangotsonya to reclaim George Osabutey’s severed head.
Michael Narteh, who was detained after pulling a locally produced revolver on policemen who went to ask him about Addo, a fetish priest and primary suspect in the crime, confessed.
After the crime, fetish priests Addo and Francis fled.
