Two people have been killed after a loaded gun went off in a crowded area in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
The incident happened Friday at the 30th-anniversary celebration of the installation of a fetish priestess known as Mmotia Komfo in the regional capital, Koforidua.
The victims are Kojo Kakari, 68, and an 8-year-old girl who was the only child of her parents.
Her grandmother, wailing uncontrollably, told Joy News’ Kofi Siaw the girl’s parents struggled for 22 years before she was conceived.
A third person Lydia Boateng, 55 sustained serious injuries on her hands.
An eyewitness told Kofi Siaw one of the celebrants loaded the gun and carelessly left it on the ground.
Out of the blue, whilst the celebration was on-going at the Obuotabiri shrine, the trigger got pulled by itself and fired into the people killing the two instantly, an eyewitness said.
The bodies have been deposited at the morgue.
