Speaking on Asempa FM, she stressed that several traders employ traditional spiritual remedies commonly known as juju.
Ama Born Again admitted that she herself went to an undisclosed village for spiritual protection for her business.
According to her, a traditional priest killed a black cobra and burned it, after which its ashes were used as a protective marker for her business.
Explaining the reasons she believes she needs the spiritual protections, she said there were similar malevolent spiritual forces in day-to-day business.
"People can be sent to buy things from you with bad money because in the market, there is competition.”
“Some people are dwarves from the forests in town to buy things… so you need to protect yourselves”
She also claimed to Asempa FM that even people claiming to be Christian are just using their faith as a cover for traditional avenues of spiritual protection.
"Some pretending to just use anointing oil are lying," she claimed.
