Panic has gripped residents of Asikuma Odoben Brakwa District in the Central Region following the looting of the grave by some unknown men.
According to the youth in the area, some residents in the area for the past months have been complaining that graves have been looted at the cemetery.
One youth, Charles Ahanful who spoke to Adom News said parts of the coffins were cut with a saw and then later make away with the corpse.
He linked the incident to the work of “Sakawa” operators in the area who had plan to remove certain parts of the body for rituals.
“For the past months people in the area keep complaining that their dead relatives have been stolen but we paid no attention to them till it became rampant in the community.
“They keep looting graves and it has become very scary because we know sakawa boys in the area behind this act” he stated.
Charles Ahanful said they suspect some young men in the area and have reported the incident to the police.
