Residents of Aflao in the Volta Region have taken to the streets to register their disgust over suspected ritual killings of children in the area.
A young boy was recently found dead in an uncompleted building while another girl was later found dead with a slit in the throat.
According to journalist Diana Tetteh of Holy FM, the demonstrators clothed in red and black attires and led by queenmothers, assemblymen and other opinion leaders walked from the Aflao Border to Glife, a suburb of the town warning of dire consequencies for anyone found guilty of the gruesome murders.
The demonstrators petitioned the District Chief Executive of Ketu South to help bring perpetrators to book.
They urged the police to beef up security in the area and conduct thorough investigations into the issue.
