Residents of Amefinukope in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta region are in a state of shock following the discovery of five exhumed bodies in two local cemeteries, with parts of the corpses, particularly the heads, missing.
The distressing incident occurred on Wednesday, 7th May 2025.
According to a community leader, Mr Kwashi Senaya, the graves were found desecrated, with visible damage at the head end.
“The heads of the deceased were gone,” he said, adding that the affected cemeteries belong to the Amefinu and Kponor families.
The matter has been reported to the Ghana Police Service at the Agbozume Police Station. Authorities have since launched a full investigation to identify and apprehend those behind what many are describing as a heinous and sacrilegious act.
Assembly Member for the Logove Electoral Area, Ibrahim Ayuba, has appealed for calm, urging residents to cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies.
He also encouraged community members to volunteer any information that may assist the police in their ongoing inquiries.
As the investigation unfolds, the community continues to grapple with fear, outrage, and unanswered questions over the motive behind the desecration of the graves.
