The Ashanti Regional Police command has falsified a video circulating on social media in which a chief was allegedly slaughtering a human for sacrifice.

In the said video, Nana Appau Ababio Sanwansa, the traditional ruler of Hemang in the Ashanti Region, appeared to be slaughtering a creature for rituals for which a voice is heard claiming a human being is being pacify the gods of the town.

But Police in a statement say after analysing the content of the video, they came to the conclusion that it was a ram that was being killed.

They have, therefore, urged the public to disregard the video.

“Meanwhile, the woman who was heard in the video alleging a human being was slaughtered is being questioned by the police,” the statement signed by Regional Police PRO, ASP Godwin Ahianyoh said.
