Juju Man demands special burial rituals

Ho, Oct. 26, GNA - A self-confessed juju man, who claimed that the ghost of his son slapped him, demanded that his corpse should be dragged on the ground and certain rituals performed in order to free his family from a serious calamity.

A nephew of D.K. Klutse, the juju man, who spoke to the GNA under condition anonymity, said his Uncle told the family members just before his death that the ghost of his son, who was the 19th victim he had killed with his juju, slapped him and the only way to avert a calamity befalling the family was for them to perform the rituals he had demanded.

When information about the demand got around a large number of residents of Ho rushed to the family house at Ho Hliha on Wednesday afternoon to witness the performance of the rituals.

So heavy was the crowd that many people had to perch on top of buildings and trees to catch a glimpse of what was going on in the deceased's family house.

Cars were parked over a distance of more than 200 metres from the house thereby slowing down traffic in the vicinity.
