Two individuals narrowly escaped a mob lynching after being caught with the remains of a 10-year-old boy, allegedly intended for ritual purposes.
According to information gathered by Ghone News reporter Yaw Boagyan, the deceased, identified as James Ajoyemeh, had been buried just three days prior.
The suspects, Fofo Agboyemeh and Kwame Agboyemeh, reportedly exhumed the body from a cemetery in Adewukwa, a community near Awutu Bawjiase in the Awutu Senya West District.
The two were intercepted by some motorcycle taxi operators (okada riders) at Ashalaja around 1 a.m. on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, following a tip-off. This led to the suspects being assaulted by an enraged mob.
However, the timely intervention of the Dankyira Police saved them from being killed.
The suspects, who are now in the custody of the Awutu Bawjiase Police Command, were sent to the Bawjiase Polyclinic for treatment due to the severity of their injuries.
