The fetish priest stated that when the Police urged him to keep his calm but was unaware that their vehicle was parked where he was directed towards.

“I was chanting and the police told me to take it easy – and told me to sit inside the vehicle. All of a sudden, they took me to the police station. We are all natives of Greater Accra and such an act is not good.”

The priest added that he wants the government and traditional council to know that Nima residents have been treated unfairly and cautioned all parties involved to be careful.

“We are Ghanaians and we don’t want anything bad to happen but what they [police] did yesterday – people didn’t like it and doesn’t speak well of them.” the fetish priest said.
