A demolition exercise in the Nima neighborhood on Wednesday morning ignited anger and prompted protests among residents affected by the operation.
Despite pleas from irate youths for their shelter to be spared, authorities proceeded with the demolition, leading the locals to call upon a fetish priest for intervention.
The supposed fetish priest arrived at the scene holding a bottle of Schnapp, amid cheers from the agitated crowd.
Wearing leaves around his neck and dusted with powder, his presence was intended to intimidate the officials overseeing the exercise.
However, his attempt to intervene took an unexpected turn.
Almost immediately, the police intervened and arrested the priest before he could carry out whatever ritual he had planned.
The once-charged priest, whose presence initially garnered cheers, seemed to lose his confidence and energy upon facing the police.
Amusingly, a video of the incident circulated on social media, sparking laughter among Ghanaians.
Many users found humor in the situation, highlighting the consequences of ill-advised attempts to influence events through unconventional means.
