As the saying goes “every action has its corresponding reaction,” a pure water seller had no option but to invoke “AntoaNyamaa: a river deity, to deal decisively with four people in the spiritual realm for attacking her in front of a drug store near the Kaneshie Post Office without any provocation.
The incident happened in the night of Thursday, April 22, 2021, when four persons believed to be siblings accused the victim, Ms. Joyce AmaFrimpomaa, of stealing slippers belonging to their brother and subjected her to severe beating when she denied the allegation levelled against her.
After the attack, Joyce who looked woebegone had no alternative but to invoke curses on them by calling AntoaNyamaa to deal drastically with the assailants on her behalf since she had done nothing wrong to deserve such maltreatment.
Fearing the wrath of the powerful and ‘no nonsense’ river deity, some friends of the victim pleaded with her to reverse the curse and save the lives of the four attackers knowing what AntoaNyamaa had done to some wrongdoers in this nation.
In the light of this, a fetish priestess was brought to perform some rituals and reverse the curse, which she did through the tacit approval of the victim.
The fetish priestess later collected some cash and a crate of eggs to pacify Joyce Frimpomaa who was bent on exacting her pound of flesh.

Parliament has clarified public commentary on social media regarding a notice on its notice board that read “No Vacancy for National Service Personnel 2026/2027. Kindly go for reposting.”
In a statement, signed by the Director of Media Relations, David Sebastian Damoah, Parliament said the notice has been misconstrued and was not a policy statement, a freeze on national service placements, or a change in its support for the National Service Scheme.
According to Parliament, the notice was a routine administrative message to prospective personnel who reported to the House, informing them that it has received more personnel than it can accommodate for the 2026/2027 service year and that they should seek reposting to other institutions.
It said it remains committed to the National Service Scheme and values the contribution of service personnel to its work, and regrets any confusion or inconvenience the wording may have caused.

Ghanaian public advocate Hopeson Yaovi Adorye has been elected to the Board of Directors of the World Taxpayers Association (WTA).
The election took place on Sunday, October 5, 2026, during the Association’s conference in Kraków, Poland.
His election marks a significant addition to his international leadership portfolio and provides a platform for Ghanaian and African perspectives to contribute to global discussions on taxpayer rights, responsible taxation, transparency and prudent management of public resources.
Reacting to his election, Mr. Adorye expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the WTA for the confidence reposed in him.
“I am deeply honoured by this confidence and conscious of the responsibility that comes with it. Taxpayers are at the heart of every economy, and they deserve fairness, transparency, accountability and value for the taxes they pay. I look forward to working with colleagues from across the world to strengthen the voice of taxpayers and promote responsible fiscal governance,” he said.
According to him, taxation should not be viewed solely as a mechanism for raising government revenue, but also as an important component of the social contract between citizens and the state.
Mr. Adorye said governments have a responsibility to ensure taxes are collected fairly and public resources are utilised efficiently to deliver quality infrastructure, healthcare, education, security and other essential services.
His election also creates an opportunity to bring African experiences into international conversations on taxation and public expenditure.
Mr. Adorye, who is Executive Director of Taxpayers League Ghana, has previously served as Global Board Chairman of the International Youth Network for UN Security Council Resolution 2250, an NGO associated with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
He is expected to use his new role to champion fiscal accountability, taxpayer education, good governance and stronger citizen participation in public financial management.
