I still remember the story of Kofi Kyinto, the picture of a man holding his severed head with the eyeballs rolled up. Poor boy, imagine the terror and suffering he went through.

Don’t commit murder in Texas and expect the Bush Family to Sentence you to Prison. They don’t do that..
I remember some time ago, a lady who was on the Death Row supposedly became a converted Christian who started preaching and converting Hardened Prisoners many of who became converted into Christianity. Then the date of her execution drew near.
The Prison Officials made an appeal to the Queen of England, Elizabeth for the Death Sentence to be committed into Life Imprisonment but this was denied. An Appeal was finally made to the Pope to save the life of the murderer. The whole World was watching and pleading for the life of the murderer who was a woman to be saved. When the plea was finally made to the Governor of Texas who was Bush and could Pardon her, he made an interesting and a funny decision that “IF THE MURDERER HAS REPENTED IN PRISON FOR HER MURDER, THEN SHE SHOULD GET READY TO DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN TO MEET GOD.” I didn’t know much about the Bush family but I loved the Governor for that response. On the next day, the murderer was executed by Lethal Injection. So, it has become a saying in Texas that if you commit a murder in Texas, don’t expect a clemency because you definitely will be put to death.
Texas has one of the least murder rates in the United States because people in the country very well know that if one commits murder in Texas, the murderer will never be pardoned from receiving the Death Sentence. I really have come to love the Bush and the Texas Judiciary for that.
I became very annoyed when Ghana abolished the Death Penalty for even crimes like murder. Now we have Armed Robbers robbing and killing people in Ghana and they are just Sentenced into Prison custody for the rest of their lives to be fed, housed and clothed by the very Hard Working innocent citizens. We need to reinstate the Death Penalty for Armed Robbers and Murderers.

It happened in November 1987 in Sefwi Bekwai, then Lamiley Sampa's murder by Nana Twene at Abesim followed in February 1988 - just four months apart. Because the orchestrators of the ritual murders were both chiefs, people tend to confuse the two separate cases. One Mary Araba Afumwaah of Tema was also murdered under ritual circumstances, but her case did not carry much attention in the media then as Kofi Kyintoh and Lamiley Sampa's cases did.

I was present during the whole proceedings at the National Tribunal located in the State House (Job 600) now Parliament House. Whoever made the video is acting on hearsay. Kofi Kyintoh didn't refuse to go to school. It was a Sunday, he was living with his grandmother. He refused to go to church with the grandmother since his uncle had earlier convinced him not to go to church that day.

I love this story , at least the whole world knows were ritual killing started and exported to other countries in Africa. Way back in the 80s other countries were living comfortably with oil boom only to be infested by Ghanaians with their unbelievable evil. In the 80s no one thought of such evil except Ghanaians.

Joko or whatever you call yourself, until Ghanaians sojourned to Nigeria and returned after the so called 'Ghana must go' such crimes and behavior were alien to Ghanaians. Ritual murder, aggressive armed robbery (in which police officers were targetted like Anini and his gang were doing in Nigeria), lynching and burning of suspected thieves, reared their ugly head in Ghana when these returnees having imbibed the evil way of life of Nigerians, attempted to introduce it in Ghana. A check on the background revealed that most of the perpetrators of such crimes had either returned from Nigeria or associated with Nigerians. Thank God we had a strong leader in J.J Rawlings who rose to the occasion and stopped this evil practice from festering. Nigeria is a country that has always been inhabited by evil people and it is not surprising to see how they have destroyed it.
