A mother of four, identified as Madam Okine, has come under intense scrutiny following reports of her use of unconventional substances in food preparation. The situation came to light after a concerned woman in the community raised questions about Madam Okine’s mental well-being, particularly as she was living with two of her children.
The matter was subsequently reported to community leaders, who took swift action. On Thursday, March 19, authorities were said to have stormed the woman’s residence. What was found in her room and kitchen deeply unsettled both residents and many who later followed the story online.
According to the reports, Madam Okine, whose husband had taken two of their children to live elsewhere, had been cooking with human excreta. The development has drawn widespread concern and disbelief.
In her defence, the woman maintained that her actions were rooted in personal beliefs, stating that the practice had benefited both herself and her family.

Gender Minister visit mother and two kids
The case has since attracted the attention of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection. The Minister, Honourable Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, visited the residence to assess the situation firsthand. Following the visit, three individuals were transferred to a hospital, while efforts were made to contact the children’s father to determine the next course of action for the family.
Further concerns have been raised about the welfare of the children, as reports indicate that the mother had withdrawn two of them from school for several years, despite them being described as outspoken and intelligent. The reasons for this decision remain unclear.
The incident has sparked widespread concern within the community and beyond, raising serious questions about child welfare, mental health, and family support systems.
