The head of Ankaful-Saltpond has called on the state to enact laws against the invocation of curses by Ghanaians.
Nana Kwame Ntsiful V said she was concerned that the widespread phenomenon was taking hold in the country and urged well-meaning citizens to condemn the practice.
“Many young men and women in the country are quick to resort to curses to punish or destroy their perceived enemies – a practice that is rapidly gaining roots in the country but must not be allowed to flourish.
“That practice is retrograde and should not be encouraged in any modern society,” Nana Kwame Ntsiful V told the Daily Graphic newspaper.
He said in an interview with the newspaper that it was regrettable that people curse each other at the slightest provocation.
“People just take sheep, birds or goats, add bottles of brandy and go to the river bank to invoke curses. This practice is very strange and should not find a place in our tradition.
“The chiefs, who are the custodians of our tradition, should insist on the heads of their subjects that such a practice is prohibited, as it is believed to bring chaos, and they should not find a place in modern societies,” it was reported that he said. in a state newspaper report.
According to him, the practice was satanic and he implored the traditional authorities to rise to the occasion to deal with it.
