Spiritual gunshot test: Fetish priest ends in pool of blood

A popular fetish priest at Sekyedumasi in the Ashanti region who claimed to have fortified himself against gunshots and therefore shot himself to test the efficacy of his supernatural powers has ended up in hospital nursing his wounds.

Akwasi Addai, a.k.a Nana Tolofasito escaped death but was receiving medical care at the Sunyani Government Hospital in the Brong Ahafo region.

He was said to have insisted that he had fortified himself to the extent that there was no way he could be killed with a gun.

The incident reportedly happened last Thursday and was first rushed to the Techiman Holy Family Hospital for treatment but later that same day transferred to the Sunyani Regional Hospital where after receiving initial treatment at the Emergency Ward, he was transferred to the Allied Ward of the hospital.

When Graphic Online visited the dread-locked fetish priest on his hospital bed on Tuesday, he refused to speak about the incident.

Sitting beside his hospital bed were three other people with dread-locks who were believed to be either his relatives or subordinates at the shrine. They also refused to talk to Graphic Online about the incident.

A female nurse who was on ward duty ward at the time of the visit also refused to comment on the condition of the patient.

“Since my client has refused to speak on the incident, I will not disclose any details about his privacy to you” she stated.
