The 31-year-old man must also pay 5,000 cedis to the woman he insulted. Magistrate Joseph Y. Kunsong banned Philip from using witch accusations again. Chief Inspector Charles Aziati asked for harsh punishment to stop people from attacking older women. The prosecutor said calling women witches goes against local culture and values. Philip stood outside the woman's house December 28 2021 and shouted terrible names at her. He blamed her for killing someone named Musa and called her flesh bitter. The painter told the woman that nobody could harm him through magic or spells. The complainant heard everything from inside her home with her disabled daughter. Police from Gbi-Bla station arrested Philip after the woman filed her report against him. [/QUOTE]
