The National Women's Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Madam Kate Abena Gyamfua, has condemned in no uncertain terms the attack and gruesome lynching of a 90-year old woman accused of witchcraft at Kafaba in the Upper West Region of Ghana.
A horrible video that has gone viral shows a self styled Priestess who was accused to be a soothsayer, by name Fatima from the Upper West Region, leading a group of other women in the community to beat this innocent woman who is accused to be a witch leading to her untimely death.
It is believed that wherever this Priestess Fatima has stayed, she perpetrates such acts.
"As a mother and a leader, I condemn unequivocally and state that nobody has the right to accuse anyone of being a witch or wizard or have the audacity to even lead an attack on such persons, so all those who are fond of indulging in such negative and barbaric acts, must desist from them,” Madam Gyamfua stated.
She called on “all the appropriate authorities to investigate and prosecute where necessary all those involved in this heinous crime".
The NPP National Women's Organizer also sent condolences of the party and herself to the deceased's family.
“All the women fraternity in the NPP and I, do commiserate with the bereaved family and pray for the comfort of the Lord in these difficult times''.

As a mother and a leader, make sure you desist from pushing hard to engaging in Galamsey specifically in Asamang Tamfoe in the Atiwa East Constituency. You are the kind of people who are making Nana Addo and the NPP administration difficult. The people of Asamang Tamfoe are ready to defend our land in whatever capacity, even when it demands making the Ultimate Sacrifice. 'Yen Ara Asaase ni''. Anyinam, Mampong and Ankaase are just but a few communities within the catchment area that are woefully suffering and as a result of irresponsible leadership (especially their traditional leaders). River Birim is now running like ''THIS WAY CHOCOLATE DRINK', nea wo hia ne bucket ne sugar. Nana is loosing real big because some infidels in the party are burnt on engaging in Galamsey. Kate, your name is being soiled come clean on this and make a public statement to wash your hands off it. Integrity is key. But if you guys persist with this illegal venture, rest assured, The youth of the town are ready to make the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
Peacefmonline, please get your basics of journalism right. The barbaric incident did not happen in the Upper West Region. You recruit twi comedians who can't even speak simple English , as journalists and they mess up stories. Please correct this and straighten the facts immediately or we will sue! You can't associate the people of Upper West with such a senseless and barbaric act! The people of Upper West are some of the most decent and very intelligent people you can ever meet !
PLEASE,SELF DEFENCE IS SELF SEFENCE SIMPLY BECAUSE GHANA DEMOCRACY WITH NDC PARTY IS IN JEOPARDY.THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF OUR SECURITY SYSTEM IN GHANA NOW SINCE KILLINGS OF INNOCENT CITIZENS AND ATTACKS ARE RAMPANT.NO PROSECUTION NEEDED.
