Klikor,(v/R) June 7, GNA-Atsu Kpotor, 75 a Togolese, resident at Klikor in the Ketu District is alleged to have confessed looting graves in the Klikor and Agbozume areas in search of human parts for rituals. He also claimed that parts of his booty from the nocturnal rounds were sold to other people who needed them for similar reasons. A source at the Agbozume Police briefing the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said the bedridden Kpotor was brought to the Police Station on a push truck surrounded with human parts said to have been exhumed from his bath house.

The source said the Police also arrested one Simon Wobenu Adorkor mentioned by Kpotor as a client, to assist in investigations. The source said Kpotor became sick and went to Togo where his children live and was taken to a traditional healer and a soothsayer who professed that he (Kpotor) was being haunted by certain bad deeds and demanded that he confessed.

He said Kpotor revealed to his children that he had looted graves, especially those of initiates of a certain shrine at Klikor. The Police Source said when Kpotor's children contacted the authorities of the shrine, they demanded that he should be brought for treatment.

He said Kpotor's children took him to the shrine where he confessed his activities and led his children and others to his bathhouse to exhume human bones and other parts not needed for sorcery, put them beside him on a push truck and conveyed him to the Police station followed by a curious crowd.

The police were tight-lipped about what course of action was being planned but only said they were investigating while Yao Katriku, Secretary to the shrine said they would consult their gods to find out what form of punishment to mete to Kpotor.

Meanwhile Kpotor's children who felt disgraced by their father's action left the scene and have since not been traced.
