Alexander Roosevelt Hotordze, the Member of Parliament for Central Tongu, and Mr Dodzi Addison Mornyuie, the District Chief Executive, have condemned the discovery of human remains at a shrine in Mafi Gblorkope, describing the incident as a "barbaric and inhumane act" that has shaken the conscience of the entire enclave.
They made the remarks during a visit to the crime scene on Tuesday, July 8, following a police-led operation that triggered the exhumation of multiple human remains, including the skeletal body of a 28-year-old Nelson Anyana believed to have been murdered for ritual purposes.
Mr Hotordze disclosed to the Ghana News Agency that such acts had no place in the society, and assured the people of Central Tongu that his office in collaboration with the district assembly would not rest until every person involved in the heinous crime was identified, apprehended, and made to face the full rigours of the law. "This is a horrifying and deeply troubling development," he added.
He emphasized that justice must be delivered swiftly-not only to honour the memory of the victims but also to restore a sense of security among residents. "I have tasked the security services to deepen their investigations and act decisively.
