In a chilling confession, two university graduates have revealed their questionable method of making money from dead bodies, a practice that has led to dire consequences.
The revelations were made during a confession session with Pastor Prince Elisha Osei Kofi, which was shared on YouTube, highlighting the desperate lengths these individuals went to after facing challenges in securing employment.
The graduates shared that despite completing their university education, finding a job has been an uphill battle.
They expressed that many potential employers demanded sexual favours in exchange for employment opportunities, a proposition they were unwilling to accept.
“We are girls who have gone to school but don’t have work to do. The available work requires us to sleep with someone to get employment, and we cannot go by that principle. So, we had an idea to make money.
“We walk around looking for posters of wealthy men who have died and go to their funerals with a child, claiming that he had a child with us and wanted us to keep it a secret.
“Mostly, we look for those with many children and a lot of money. On the funeral date, we go there with the child and tell the family that the child belongs to him.
“The children we take there, we have to strike deals with their mothers so that after we get the money, we share it. Mostly, when we go there, they accept us and give us a place to sleep. In the morning, we join them at the funeral. Sometimes, some of them may have been helped by the man, so they aim to help the child and give the child money,” Awurasi narrated.
This ploy was intended to extract money from the bereaved family, who would prefer to avoid the scandal and quietly settle the matter.
The women would stay with the family, participating in the mourning process, and after receiving money, they would disappear.
However, their actions have not been without consequences. In a particular incident, they targeted a wealthy man with 42 children. After presenting a child at his funeral, one of the women experienced a disturbing dream in which the deceased man appeared to her.
Following this encounter, the child they used in the scheme was tragically killed in a car accident.
“Mostly, the family tells us to wait because the corpse is laid in state, and because they don’t want that disgrace, they heed our request and give us money after exchanging contacts. The contacts we give them are fake, so if we leave, they can’t reach us.
“Unfortunately, the last one we went to didn’t go well for us. The man looked very rich; he had fathered 42 children, with about 20 in different countries.
“So, we looked for a child who looked like the man and sent her there to cry along with us, claiming that he was the father. As the child was crying, we were also crying. I slept and had a dream of the man having sex with me and carrying the child on the bed he was lying in state on,” she said.
Awurasi continued, “When I woke up, I got scared. After taking the money in the morning, we exchanged contacts and left. Three days later, the mother of the child told me that the child had died after being hit by a car.
“The man has a strong spirit. Now, any man that sleeps with me dies or gets problems, and his job will be destroyed. The man I loved so much, who had promised me marriage, also died after having sex with me. Every man I sleep with, I see as the dead man.”
