Kumasi: Shock discovery of 'Mystery' coffin at Fumesua palace

Residents and sub chiefs of Fumesua, a suburb of Kumasi are in shock over the discovery of a casket in front of the Fumesua palace. No one has claimed responsibility for the casket but one of the sub-chiefs poured libation before opening the casket in the presence of the police. When the casket was opened, it contained two bottles of schnapps, black and red calico and a letter allegedly from a group by name, Concerned Citizens. The letter appeals to the Fumesua chief, Nana Esua Amoako to consider returning a plot of land used as a cemetery he is alleged to have sold to a private developer without conducting due diligence.

The letter also alleged that the private contractor has moved heavy machines to “clear the whole site/land and deposited all the sand/mud/and the DEAD BODIES previously buried, and deposited them at an unknown place, is against custom.”

The letter berates the chief for failing to “perform any RITUALS on the land, which developments are on going.” This action of the chief and the developer, believes is responsible for the death of “children, youth and middle aged citizens of Fumesua.”

An invitation has been thrown to Nana Esua Amoako to attend a meeting of the group which will be taking place on Sunday, July 24, to “support morally and spiritually” discussions. The sub-chiefs are treating this as a spiritual issue and have called for a meeting to look into the matter.
It is believed that the chief of Fumesua, Nana Esua Amoako has traveled.
