‘Black stool’ kills 25 in Ashantiregion

Source: Daily Guide

About 25 people have reportedly died under
strange circumstances over a period of time
at Ejuratia, a community in the Ashanti
Region.
Odikro of Ejuratia, Nana Antwi Boasiako
Kwakye Piagyi II, believes a black stool
belonging to the people of Mami which is
close to Ejuratia, is responsible for the
deaths.
He consequently ordered for the removal of
the black stool from a house, which is
situated at Ejuratia to help stop the deaths
and other problems.
According to him, the black stool possesses
spiritual powers that had killed several
people who are residing in the town.
He claimed that the powers in the black stool
had also caused severe socio-economic
problems for the people of Ejuratia in recent
times.
Nana Kwakye Piagyi II made the revelation in
an interview during Kumasi-based Kessben
FM programme.
The Ejuratia regent said for some time now,
some residents of his town had complained to
him about rampant deaths in the area.
According to him, his people told him that a
black stool of the Mami people, being kept in
a house at Ejuratia, was responsible for the
premature deaths.
"As a responsible chief who cares about the
welfare of his people, I ordered for the black
stool to be removed from Ejuratia
immediately," he said.
Nana Kwakye Piagyi II was hopeful that the
removal of the black stool would help end the
premature deaths and other problems in the
town.
Meanwhile, one Nana Bonsu, who claimed to
be a linguist at Mami said the Ejuratia chief
ordered some boys to forcibly break into the
stool room.
Nana Bonsu said ideally, the Ejuratia chief
should have ensured that the traditional
norms were followed in order to take the
stool from Ejuratia.
He told Kessben FM that some of the boys
sent by the Ejuratia chief manhandled him
when they stormed the room in the
afternoon.
"I do not believe that the black stool caused
deaths in the town, and even if we should
relocate the stool, we should have done it in
the night," he added.
