Residents Of Fumesua Discover Coffin In Front Of Chief’s Palace

Residents of Fumesua, a township in the Ashanti Region, have been thrown into a state of disarray with the news of the discovery of a casket in front of their chief’s palace.
The strange sight drew onlookers to check out what was going on, as the slightly opened casket threw fear across the populace.
Strangely, the coffin, aside the regulation items like two bottles of schnapp and black and red calico, also contained a letter.
A letter reported to have been written by some concerned citizens.and addressed to the chief of the town, enumerating some concerns of the authors.
“The letter appeals to the town 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.” Myjoyonline states in its report.
“It also said what the private contractor did by assembling 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 report adds.
“The letter also berates the chief for failing to ‘perform any RITUALS on the land, which developments are on going.’”
The Concerned citizens believe these actions of their chief and the developer has led to the deaths of many citizens of the town, including children.
They therefore call on the chief to attend an upcoming meeting of theirs to discuss the situation.
They certainly chose a colourful way to make themselves heard.
