Residents of\u00a0Kwahu-Pepease in the Eastern Region were last Friday thrown into a state of shock when the ghost of the late chief of the town, Nana Okyere Ampadu II, allegedly spoke through his sixth wife, Mama Akua Kunamah, and purportedly warned the ex-queen mother, Nana Oforiwa Pokuah and others, to desist from tarnishing his image.<\/p>\n
Reports said Friday evening a stranger was spotted running towards the Kwahu-Pepease Nkosoguasuafohene’s palace. The residents quickly followed the stranger – a woman – to the palace.<\/p>\n
The paper gathered that as soon as the lady entered the palace, she started shouting and seriously shivering. She was said to be speaking like the late chief, Nana Okyere Ampaqdu II, indi\u00adcating that since his death, there hadn’t been peace in the area. Nana was pur\u00adportedly worried that his funeral rites had not been performed the right way and for that reason, he could not stay in his grave.<\/p>\n
According to the allegedly pos\u00adsessed lady, the late chief noted that the queen mother and some family members had created confusion in the area by taking away the stool, regalia and jewelleries – which are used by the traditional rulers.<\/p>\n
The ‘ghost’ further warned that if the queen mother and her followers do not return the royal stool and stop fomenting the tribal war in the area, he (the late chief) would kill them one after the other because he had been disgraced.<\/p>\n
The possessed lady sent for Nana’s sixth wife, Mama Akua Kunamah. When she was brought before her, she (lady) reportedly touched Mama Kunamah and the spirit was said to have been transferred into her (chief’s wife), who also gave warnings and mentioned names of those who were fighting against the new chief.<\/p>\n
However, the Nkosoguasuafohene who was visibly shocked took the woman to the Adehyehene\u2019s palace, followed by a large number of the inhabitants, to inform him about the strange incident.<\/p>\n
After pouring of libation, the lady asked the traditional rulers to go to the late chief’s grave at the main palace to perform other rituals before the spirit deserted her.<\/p>\n
