Based in the Ahafo region, Afia (pseudonym) has revealed that blood money is on the rise in her community and she is a victim of such rituals.
In a revealing interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Afia stated that her ex-boyfriend went in for money rituals; sakawa, as it is locally, known. According to her, he told her he would only marry her if he impregnated her.
After the pregnancy, he asked her to leave the house because he can’t afford to marry her then.
”After I left the house, I started feeling pains in my stomach but the doctors said nothing was wrong with me. A pastor later told me that he used my womb as a sacrifice and if I give birth, my ex will go mad. If I’m unable to give birth too, I might lose my life,” she revealed.
Due to the fear of losing her life, Afia aborted the baby. Nonetheless, he has been stalking and threatening her life.
”He always sends people to follow me and they often call to threaten me as well. So I decided to vacate the location. Leaving the house has become very difficult for me because I fear for my life, Afia added.
