A 23-year-old level 300 student of the Akenten Appiah-Minkah University of Skills Training (AAMUST) Ghana, who doubles as the Chief Priest of the school’s Opoku Ware Hall has died after being burnt while performing a ritual and displaying spiritual powers.
Reports say the now-deceased, Prosper Owusu who is a member of the Dons spiritual group on the campus sustained severe burns after the raffia skirt he wore during the ritual went up in flames.
He was reportedly in the company of his colleague spiritualist from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Ghana, Katanga Hall when the spiritual exercise backfired.
He was later confirmed dead at the Komfo Anokye Teaching (KATH) in Kumasi.
