Residents of Foase in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region have been thrown into a state of shock and utter disbelief following the arrest of a 28-year-old drug store operator who was allegedly caught sleeping in a coffin for three days in a suspected money ritual.
The suspect, identified only as Foster, was apprehended at the community’s cemetery on Thursday, November 5, 2026, after a local hunter stumbled upon the unburied coffin in an open section of the burial ground.
Narrating the chilling incident to the media, some residents revealed that the hunter grew suspicious when he noticed the coffin sitting exposed on the surface instead of being interred. His hunting dogs immediately ran towards the casket, prompting him to take aim with his gun and threaten to fire into the wooden box. To his utter astonishment, Foster climbed out of the coffin unharmed.
A herbalist who happened to be nearby searching for medicinal plants joined the hunter, and together the two men secured the suspect and escorted him back into the township.
News of the strange discovery spread rapidly, drawing large crowds of agitated community members eager to catch a glimpse of the suspect. Sensing potential unrest, community leaders quickly alerted the local police.
The police have since taken custody of Foster to assist with ongoing investigations into the alleged ritual attempt, while anxiety continues to linger across the Foase enclave over the disturbing spectacle.
