11.09.2009 LISTEN

Press Release from the Ghana Police Service on the Sakawa Snake Issue Submitted to Prekese Media by Ghana's most versatile, knowledgeable journalist and presenter of excellence, Nyansaboakwa of Accra based Hot FM's Nsem Pii Fame: The press release is published as it was submitted.

The complainant in this case is a Ghana journalist and media personnel in the person of Wisdom (NYANSABOAKWA of HOT FM) while Mallam Fatau aged 31 is and a resident of Ablekuma a surburb of Accra. On 24th day of july 2009,the complainant who was logging on the intrenet for human interest stories, found a story about four men whose desire for instant wealth led them to a shrine of a fetish priest whose name was only identifed as Nana Ogya of Aburi New Town in the Easten region. That the two wealth seeking men had turned into snakes and out of fear the other two associates also became deaf and dump soon after it was disclosed to them about their brothers situation.

The next day there ware some publications in the newspapers in Ghana and outside Ghana that the accused claimed the two deaf and dump and the two reptiles have been brought to him at Ablekuma a surburb of Accra to cure them and also change the other reptiles back to normal human being.

The accused came on some ratio stations saying that he had cured the two deaf and dump boys by name FILCO and GORO to normal human being.There were some publications in different types of calenders which the accused picture were displayed inside, including the deaf and dump boys whiles the snakes supposedly vomitted dollars were also displayed in the calenders.

The complainant using his special training in investigative journalism pursued the case and later noted tha there was no truth in the story and therefore reported the case to the police CID Heardquarters in Accra.

During investigations the police whent to Aburi in the Eastern region and contacted some prominent community leaders including the cheif of Aburi and the Chief Fetish Priest respectively and found to his dismay that there was no fetish preist by the name Nana Ogya whom people had consulted him for any ritual and there was no place called ABURI NEW TOWN.

The investigation further led the police to Sekyikrom, a suburb of Nsawam in the Easten Region where it was revealed that the two boys who were described in the calender as Filco and Yaw Goro were farm assistants( labourers) to one Jeo Tapolie a native of Sakyikrom.It was revealed that the boys trapped the two snakes in their farm sometime in July 2009 and brought the two snakes which the long one among them was dead.They displayed them at Sakyikrom Taxi Rank and when they were questioned by some people at Sakyikrom,They told them that they were going to sell them to some Chinese men who are road contractors at Nsawam.According to the chief of Sakyikrom he saw the two boys pictures appeared in different calendars indicating that they went for ritual money and were turned into deaf and dumb.The information recieved was that the two boys have fled from the town to an unknown place.Strenuous efforts are being made to trace them to assist in the investigations.

The two snakes which the accused alleged are human beings and have and have turned into a snake are still lying in a small box in the suspect's consulting room at Ablekuma.When the accused was asked to produce the relatives,addresses or telephone numbers of the people who brought the boys and the two snakes to him to be cured,he could not produce any.He could not also able to produce the dollars allegedly vomitted by the snakes.

We want to inform the general public that the story was a calculated attempt to create panic and unnecessary anxiety in the country.No human was turned into snake.
