The police in Ghana have arrested the Chief Executive Officer of Commonwealth Beauty Pageant, a fetish Priest and one other for assaulting a 24-year-old contestant over missing money.

The suspects – Yawo Sofahu alias Togbe Shito (Fetish Priest), Princess Duncan (CEO of Commonwealth Beauty Pageant) and Isaac Evra – allegedly assaulted the third runner up in the pageant, one Nana Ama Essien, over a missing GHC500. They were alleged to have beaten her up with the edge of a cutlass.

The trio were arrested by the Police on October 14, 2019, after the victim’s uncle, Mark Osei Hayford, lodged a complain at the Regional CID on October 11,2019.

Essien had alleged that Duncan and Evra took her and eight other contestants to the shrine of the fetish Priest at Akyem Kukurantumi over the missing money and other items at the Pageant House between the period of July and September this year.

According to Starr News Sources, at the shrine, they were given a fresh egg each to hit on the ground and that the one whose egg fails to break and rather becomes a cooked one, was the culprit.

Ama Essien’s egg did not break and therefore was accused of being responsible for the theft hence tortured and assaulted with the edge of a cutlass by two male attendants of the fetish Priest ostensibly to compel her to admit the offence.

She sustained injuries on her knees and at her back and has since been treated and discharged

The Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Eastern Regional Police Command, Sergent Francis Gomado, confirmed the arrests to Starr News adding the suspects were in Custody assisting Police in investigations.

Meanwhile, the two attendants at the shrine who reportedly tortured the victim on instructions of the fetish priest are at large.
