A resident of Kasoa where there has been an alleged ritual murder of a 10-year-old boy by the name Ishmael has recounted how her son escaped the death.
According to Madam Tawiah, Nicholas, one of the teenagers involved in the alleged ritual killing first came to her house to ask her last born son to run an errand for him.
Madam Tawiah went on to recount that her son refused to run the errand and it got Nicholas to move away to the next house where they chanced on Ishmael and killed him instead.
In recounting the bizarre incident, Madam Tawiah indicated that Nicholas wanted her son to buy him water but later moved away after the little boy refused to go.
Madam Tawiah said she was shocked by the incident because Ishmael's mother sometimes fed Nicholas and even used to give him money to take to school.
She thanked God for saving her son but commiserated with Ishmael's family by saying the whole community was with them in prayers.
Madam Tawiah then called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to pass a directive to have all TV programmes advertising mallams to be taken off the screens.
Meanwhile, Comedian Waris has been spotted in a video lamenting the viral story of the murder of a young boy in Kasoa for alleged ritual purposes.

Comedian Waris spoke passionately about the incident and indicated that he was very pained about how the issue was being handled by Ghanaian authorities.
