A fetish priest performs rituals to pacify the Apam gods following the drowning of teenagers on March 7.
Fetish priests, priestesses, and the entire chiefs of the Gomoa Akyempim Traditional Council have performed rituals to appease the gods of Apam.
The ritual comes after a group of teenagers drowned at the sea in Apam on Sunday, March 7.
For the traditional rulers, the customary rites have to be carried out since the incident is unprecedented and the gods must be pacified.
After consultation from the gods, Queen mother of Apam, Nana Essel Botchwey III revealed that the gods have demanded a fattened cow, three sheep, 12 fowls, 33 tubers of yam, three cartons on schnapps amongst others.
