Rev Ankra added that two years after her birth, she was unable to crawl, and that was when the deities revealed that the 12-year-old girl was special and had to be given preferential treatment.

"The child was confirmed as somebody who would work and service the deity. She will even grow to become the queen of her clan, and this was how she was being moulded, to come and take her position. She was made a queen at a very tender age; she had sixteen houses under her, and she was also the overseer of all the women that served the deities," Rev DN Gyasi stated.

At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in over 4000 views and 20 comments.
