Pastor grabbed?Over death of 50-year-old woman

 

The Daily Graphic reports that a pastor of the Saviour Christian Church at Twedie in the Ashanti Region, has been arrested for allegedly causing the death of a 50-year-old woman after giving her a herbal substance to inhale.

The paper, in a front-page banner headline story, says the pastor, Kofi Noah, is alleged to have given the herbal preparation to the deceased, Afua Mansah, when she complained of headache.

The Graphic reports the Police Public Relations Officer in charge of Ashanti, Mr Richard Baduweh, as saying that the deceased started bleeding profusely from the mouth and nose shortly after she was given the herbal preparation to inhale by the suspect, who is believed to be a self-styled spiritualist. Mr Baduweh said Afua Mansah subsequently became unconscious and died a day after being admitted at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital inn Kumasi.
