In a chilling turn of events, the Ghana Police Service’s Homicide Unit has uncovered a mass grave at a shrine in Gblorkope, located in the Central Tongu District.

The operation was launched following the mysterious disappearance of 28-year-old Nelson Anyana, whose case has gripped the local community with fear and suspicion. Investigators say the breakthrough came after tracing leads connected to the young man’s vanishing, which ultimately led them to the shrine.

Upon digging beneath idols at the site, officers made a grim discovery—multiple sets of human bones buried in shallow graves. The remains are believed to be linked to ritualistic killings.

Authorities have so far arrested six suspects, who have been arraigned in court in connection with the alleged murder. Police say investigations are still ongoing as they work to identify the other victims and uncover the full extent of the crimes.

This disturbing case has sparked fresh calls for community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement in tackling such heinous acts.
