Lesbian fetish priestess charged

A fetish priestess of the Gborbu Shrine at Nungua, Sophia Mensah, has for some time now been very busy at night. Under the cover of darkness, the priestess has allegedly used her fingers to violate the private pat of Borteley Mensah, also a fetish priestess of the same shrine.

According to the story, each night when Borteley was fast asleep, she was awakened from her slumber by a strange feeling in her private part. She always opened her eyes to find Sophia “fingering” her and not even her protests would stop Sophia who persisted night after night with the shameful act.

Sophia reportedly gave Borteley a stern warning not to tell anyone in the locality about her ordeal, else she would regret doing so. But Borteley is said to have braved the threat and told the matter to Madam Yaborley, an elder living in the Nungua township.

Sophia sensing she has been exposed failed to answer to invitations from madam Yarboley. Sophia is said to have bumped into Borteley on her way to town on October 5 and gave her (Borteley) severe caning. It took the intervention of passers-by to save Borteley from her tormentor.

After her ordeal, Borteley quickly went to the Nungua Police station and lodged a complaint and upon that Sophia was charged with indecent assault.

When the matter was taken to the Osu Community Tribunal, Sophia pleaded not guilty and was granted self-congnizance bail. However, some elders in the town later pleaded with the tribunal to settle the case out of court.

George Nana Donkor who chaired the tribunal adjourned the case to Monday, November 19
