Shock as 'Yahoo boy' runs mad after digging grave of priest for ritual

An internet fraudster, popularly called 'yahoo-yahoo boy' has ran mad after digging the grave of a powerful fetish priest.

The young man, simply known as YB, threw residents of Nhyiaeso, a suburb of Kumasi into a state of shock when he started displaying evidence of mental imbalance on Thursday, May 11. He was said to have confessed of digging the grave of a popular and powerful fetish priest, Anthony Nimo, who died last year.

Adom News reports that the young man ransacked the grave and collected the remaining bones of the dead man. He later took it to a fetish priest for money rituals.

It was gathered that the fetish priest is said to have told him, that the person whose bones he brought was for someone who had fortified himself spiritually while alive and as a result his bone couldn’t be used for money rituals even in his death.

The family of the Spiritualist visited his grave Thursday morning which coincidentally marks exactly a year of his passing on, to perform some rites but were horrified when they realized that his remains were nowhere to be found.


The family then rushed to the Nhyiaeso police station to lodge a complaint.

But an eye witness, Kenneth Owusu Sarfo told Kasapa News that not long after the family left the police station, news went round that Y.B had started behaving weirdly, had stripped off his clothes and was confessing to ransacking the late fetish priest’s grave at dawn for money rituals.

The police were invited to the scene following which they picked him up.
