However, the fetish priest they had visited, Festus Kwashie Babanawo, had passed their backs and reported them to the police after welcoming them peacefully to his shrine.
He had reportedly told the police that he could not destroy the leaders of the country, and so decided to report the suspects.
The two men were arrested on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, at Weta in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region.

A search on them by the police revealed a white paper which had the names of Akufo-Addo, Otumfou, the Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Yaw Letsa, the chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensah, the chairman of the Commission of Enquiry on the creation of the new region, Justice Brobbey, the Minister for Regional Reorganization, Dan Botwe, and Dr. Obed Asamoah.
The list also had the Asantehene because the suspects believed that he supported the creation of the Oti Region.

According to the Volta Regional Police Commander, DCOP Ebenezer Francis Doku, the suspects were quickly hunted down following the priest complaint.
Upon interrogation, they claimed that the list was given to them by one John, a resident of Ashaiman, who ordered them to send it to the native doctor to cast the spell on the leaders, since they are determined to create the proposed Oti Region out of the Volta region.
The suspects were later transferred to the Regional Police Command in Ho, and are currently in police custody with investigation ongoing.
