The story of some young illegal miners testing their bullet proof juju at Ayiem in the Western Region of Ghana has since gone viral.
Many Ghanaians have expressed different opinions about the video. There have been general opinions that what the young boys did was insensitive.
In the said video however, the deceased identified as Amoh Kwadwo alias Mallam walked away unscathed after a locally manufactured pistol was fired at his stomach.
In the earlier video showing his death, Amoh slumped and died on the spot after he was shot in the stomach during another testing process.
In a statement announcing the arrest of his shooter, the police said “Preliminary investigation indicates that the suspect, Emmanuel Quayco, together with five other accomplices currently on the run, was in the process of exhibiting the potency of their alleged spiritual powers when he shot and killed the deceased, Amoh Kwadwo alias Mallam, with a single-barrel gun loaded with an AA cartridge.
“The suspect is currently in Police custody assisting the investigation while efforts are underway to arrest the other five suspects to face justice. They are advised to surrender to the nearest Police Station or be fished out from their hideouts,” the statement added.
