- It has been reported that Prosper Owusu, alias arrested, the chief priest of Opoku Ware Hall at the Akenten Appiah-Minkah University of Skills Training and Economic Development (AAMUSTED), has passed away at the Komfo Anokye Teaching (KATH) in Kumasi.
- The 23-year-old level 300 student, who also serves as the Opoku Ware Hall Chief Priest and a member of the school’ “Dons” spiritual community, suffered severe burns while participating in college rites.
- While he was performing a spiritual demonstration in front of his fellow spiritualists from the Katanga Hall at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), his traditional smock caught fire.
- “When he was showing and the fire reached his smock, he refused to put the fire out, claiming the flames had activated his fetish power,” a student source said. He later failed to take off the smock and was overcome by the fire. He sprinted into a pool of water, but it was already too late. He had significant burn injuries, therefore we sent him to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Sadly, he passed away a week after being admitted, a pupil recalled.
- The deceased’s body has been placed to the Komfo Anokye Morgue while the deceased’s family gets ready for the deceased’s one-week observation.
