Afia in an interview revealed there is a cub on a mango tree on the outskirts of the town where the bees have been for the past three years.

It is however not immediately clear what caused them to spread.

She narrated that the bees invaded her room and chased her while she run for her life, holding scores hostage as nobody could enter or exit their homes.

Some residents who find it strange have attributed it to a spiritual attack.

Meanwhile, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has announced plans to fumigate the town to ensure the safety of residents.
