A Kumasi Circuit Court has sentenced a 42-year-old fetish priest, Kwaku Baah, to 20 years imprisonment in hard labour on his own plea for raping a 20-year-old teacher at Ahwiaa near Kumasi.

Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector Archibald Kwesi Fandoh, told the court, presided over by Mr Emmanuel Amo Yartey, that during the morning of November 16, 2008 the complainant visited a friend at Ahwiaa but did not see him.

He said on her return, she saw five men, including Baah sitting in an uncompleted building.

Chief Inspector Fandoh said Baah called the complainant and convinced her that she had been bewitched and could never give birth but he (accused) could assist her to drive away the evil spirits.

Prosecution said Baah lured her to his house and gave the complainant some concoction to bath after which the accused showed her a room to dress up but no sooner had the complainant entered the room than the accused rushed in and raped her.

He said the complainant reported the matter to the police who arrested Baah and after investigations charged him with the offence.
