The
Fetish
Priests
Association
of
Ghana
(FPAG)
has
threatened
a
nationwide
demonstration
to
protest
the
destruction
of
lands,
water
bodies,
and
forests
caused
by
illegal
mining
also
known
as
galamsey
activities.
The
group
with
over
2,000
members
will
unite
across
the
country
in
an
unprecedented
event.
In
an
interview
with
Akua
Oteng
Amponsah
on
Kasapa
Kase3,
FPAG
President
Kwaku
Bonsam
warned
that
curses
will
accompany
the
demonstration
on
those
responsible
for
the
environmental
destruction.
He
stated
that
within
two
weeks
of
the
protest,
the
wrath
of
the
gods
would
be
evident,
resulting
in
the
loss
of
life
for
perpetrators.
Preparations
are
underway
to
finalize
a
date
for
the
event.
Following
the
demonstration,
the
group
will
petition
the
Minister
of
Chieftaincy
and
Religious
Affairs
and
the
Ministry
of
Sanitation,
which
will
be
forwarded
to
the
President.
This
comes
after
the
group’s
earlier
caution
to
the
government
two
months
ago.
