Ghanaian Man Planning To Sell Girlfriend’ s Head To Ritualists Arrested In Kumasi

A 22-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly attempting
to sell his girlfriend for ritual purposes. The suspect, Samuel
Dadson, had wanted to kill his 21-year girlfriend (name
withheld) in Kumasi for him to easily transport the human
parts needed for the rituals in Accra.
But the buyer, who was acting on police instruction, told
Dadson to personally bring his girlfriend to Accra since it would
take away the difficulty of having to transport the human parts
of his girlfriend to Accra.
To protect the victim from being killed, the buyer also agreed
to pay the GH¢8,000 Dadson had demanded for the human
parts of his girlfriend.
On July 3, this year, Dadson arrived with the girl at the VIP
Lorry Station in Accra, where he was picked up by the police.
Briefing journalists in Accra yesterday, the Accra Regional
Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP)
Christian Tetteh Yohonu, said Dadson managed to convince her
girlfriend, whom he met a month ago, to accompany him to
Accra on a business trip.
On July 2, Dadson, who resides in Kumasi, is said to have
picked a taxi in Accra and asked a taxi driver to help him to
locate a Mallam who could assist him to make 'quick' money.
The taxi driver (name withheld) told him that he could lead
him to a Mallam at Weija who could perform the rituals for
him.
According to Mr Yohonu, Dadson, on July 3, this year, called
the taxi driver with the information that he had two human
heads and was offering them for GH¢8,000 to any prospective
buyer.
Shocked by the news, the taxi driver alerted the police, who
then made him to contact Dadson that he has found a buyer.
The buyer asked Dadson to bring the items, including the
victim, in the night on the said date to be killed in Accra.
The suspect agreed and said he was cash-strapped and needed
GH¢100 to be used as transportation to Accra.
Mr Yohonu said the money was sent to Dadson through MTN
mobile money transfer at 2 p.m.
He said Dadson was arrested immediately after he alighted at
the VIP lorry station in Accra, in the company of his girlfriend.
Upon interrogation, Dadson is said to have admitted and
confessed to the crime.
The suspect and his girlfriend are currently at the regional
police command, awaiting further investigations and possible
prosecution of the suspect.
