Police in Ayamfuri, Central Region have arrested William Otoo, a 24-year old teacher of Sefwi Aboduam M/A JHS in the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality in Western Region for his intention to sell a student for a sum of GHS 250,000.
According to Olivia Ewurabena Adiku, the Western Regional Police Public Relations Officer, the police at about 11:40 P.M on Friday July 20, had in their possession, an extract that implicated the suspect, William Otoo of his attempt to sell off the 18-year old pupil of the school to a ritualist for sacrificial purposes.
The Western Regional Police Public Relations Officer indicated that William mistakenly placed a call to a Reverend Minister at Ayamfuri instead of placing the call to the ritualist who wanted to purchase the student.
