"Being a university degree holder and a US citizen has not affected me in any way, as Okomfo and or my career as a professional Physical Therapist. The African culture gave me everything: health, food, and plant-medicine, as well as spiritual wellness," she said.

Comments from Ghanaians on social media

Thousands of Ghanaians had mixed reactions when they heard of the development.

Nhyira Afia Betty said:

U don't have to be ashamed my dear, it's life choices. Moreover, those who claimed they're serving God are rather making things difficult for us.

Alice Addo commented:

Sarc Twister GH opined:

For her info, fetishism has no goodwill to offer aside the strong edge to increase in spiritual authority. It will drain her of all financial contacts but firstly she will enjoy the fruits of the labour she's indulged in. A short help and she had wished she never indulged in it. She should find her path back to freedom soon enough
