The discovery has sparked outrage and fear among residents of the Central Tongu District The discovery has sparked outrage and fear among residents of the Central Tongu District

The Homicide Unit of the Ghana Police Service has undertaken an operation and exhumed multiple human remains buried in a shrine at Gblorkope in the Central Tongu District.

This followed a suspected ritual murder and the disappearance of 28-year-old Nelson Anyana.

The homicide investigation marks a breakthrough in the alleged murder of Nelson, resulting in the discovery of multiple human bones, some buried under idols in the shrine.

Six individuals have been arrested and arraigned in connection with the alleged murder of Nelson, who had been declared missing.

The breakthrough came after police detectives from the Homicide Unit in Ho, accompanied by three key suspects, conducted a search of a property believed to be used for ritual purposes.

The body of Nelson Anyana, who had been missing since December 2024, was exhumed from a shrine at Gblorkope, confirming police suspicions of ritual murder.

During their search, the police discovered three additional skeletal remains buried beneath different idols at the same location. Assorted human body parts believed to belong to other victims were also found buried in nearby bushes, intensifying suspicions that the site may have been used for serial ritual killings.

The suspects, all residents of Mafi Adidome, are Augustina Fiawoyife, unemployed; Wisdom Hedidor, herbalist; and Courage Bedzo, a kente weaver.

Others include Gblor Noah, also known as Ekpedzi, a fetish priest aged 37; Gblor John, a security guard aged 38; and Gblor Johannes, a lotto writer aged 27. All three are siblings and operators of the Gblorkope shrine.

According to police investigations, the case began when Comfort Hatse, a trader from Donkorkrom and mother of the deceased, reported her son missing on December 17, 2024.

She stated that the deceased had left home on December 4 to meet the first suspect, Augustina Fiawoyife, and never returned.

It was later discovered that Augustina was in a relationship with the second suspect, Wisdom Hedidor, who had grown jealous over her ongoing relationship with the deceased and plotted his murder, which was subsequently carried out.

Around that time, the fourth suspect, Gblor Noah, reportedly solicited a human body for ritual purposes in exchange for a substantial payment. The third suspect, Courage Bedzo, relayed this request to Hedidor, who agreed to carry out the killing.

On December 12, 2024, Augustina lured the deceased to a secluded area near DC Bungalow, a suburb of Adidome. While the victim engaged her in conversation, Hedidor and Bedzo ambushed and strangled him to death, with Augustina allegedly witnessing the act without intervening.

The third suspect subsequently contacted the fetish priest, who arrived at the scene with the sixth suspect, Gblor Johannes, and purchased the deceased’s body for GH¢7,000.

The body was then transported to the shrine in Gblorkope, where it was used in ritual ceremonies before being buried under the idols.

Following the recovery of Nelson Anyana’s remains and those of other unidentified individuals, all six suspects earlier appeared before a District Court in Ho, charged with abetment of crime to wit murder, and conspiracy to commit crime to wit murder.

Police investigators say further forensic analysis is underway based on the new discoveries to determine the identities of the additional victims and to file appropriate charges against the suspects.

The discovery has sparked outrage and fear among residents of the Central Tongu District, with many calling for swift justice and a broader investigation into possible ritualistic networks operating in the region.

The Ghana Police Service has reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing the case thoroughly and ensuring that all perpetrators face the full rigours of the law.
