Agya Koo pleaded for forgiveness while describing his actions as a ‘mistake’
The Bekwai Circuit Court in the Ashanti Region has sentenced a fetish priest, Agya Koo, to a 10-year jail term for incest.
During the Tuesday, May 20, 2025, edition of Oyerepa Afutuo on Oyerepa FM, Afia Agyeiwaa, a former wife of the fetish priest, reported Agya Koo on the program for admitting to having sexual intercourse with their 20-year-old daughter over a period of five years.
The daughter, who also spoke on the program, said her father began taking advantage of her five years ago under the guise of exorcising her from a spiritual marriage. “He told me that a river spirit was married to me and that the spirit was using him to sleep with me. He threatened that I would die if I confessed. He sometimes slept with me in the bush where we went to fetch herbs,” she stated.
She further disclosed that her father compelled her to undergo three abortions during this period.
Agya Koo, who was also on the program, admitted to the act but claimed it was a “mistake.” “I am pleading for forgiveness. I don’t know the spirit that took over me. I am begging you to please forgive me,” he said.
He also admitted to forcing his daughter to falsely pin a pregnancy on a boy, who was subsequently fined for impregnating her.
Despite his pleas, Agya Koo was handed over to the police, who brought him before the Bekwai Circuit Court. The court sentenced him to 10 years’ imprisonment after he pleaded guilty.
