The youth of Nyinahin, a town in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region, showed they are following proudly in the superstitious footsteps of their forebears when they held burial rites for three dead fishes, ostensibly to prevent disaster striking the town.
The fishes were recovered from the Nyinahin Amaano river, which borders the town. According to tradition, fishes from the river represent the lives of the townsfolk, thus it is a taboo to eat any fish from it.
