A 63-year-old woman, Francisca Dzisi has been accused by a supposed pastor, Peter Ofori of witchcraft at Sovie in the North Dayi District of the Volta Region.
The supposed man of God allegedly came to the family house of the woman, stayed for three days and said God has revealed to him that, there is a pot under a bed in the house.
The daughter of the accused, Celestine Sitsoƒe Dordoye has since reported the case to the Police and the accused person with some siblings of the supposed witch have been arrested and arraigned before the Kpando Magistrate court.

He also picked another pot wrapped in a red calico under her bed while hitting her to confess to being a witch on the 5th of November the same year.
Pastor Peter Ofori has since been arraigned.
After investigations, three siblings of Madame Francisca Dzisi who are; Emmanuel Dzisi, James Dzisi and Professor Komla Agbeko Dzisi have been cited for conniving with the said man of God to brand Madame Francisca as a witch.
