In a terrifying development, a guy who alleges to have been involved in the lynching of a rising star in the music business, Nana Yaw, also known as Wyllbee, has turned to Prophet Paul Kusi Appiah for spiritual support. The man insists he merely touched Wyllbee with his leg during the deadly incident, but he claims he is being afflicted by the ghost of the murdered musician and experiences horrific disturbances at night.
The Sad Event
Widely reported stories state that Wyllbee, visiting his girlfriend in Kumasi after travelling from Accra, was caught up in a fatal misunderstanding. He had no idea that his fiancée was living with her in-laws and married to a man in another country. When Wyllbee went outdoors to use the lavatory early on Friday, July 5, 2024, a horrible tragedy occurred. He was challenged by compound home residents who thought he was a thief. The issue worsened even when Wyllbee tried to explain that he was just visiting his girlfriend; she denied knowing him in a last-ditch to save her marriage.
A Fatal misunderstanding
The tenants thought they had caught a thief because of the girlfriend’s denial, so they informed their neighbours. Neighbours soon joined in, and the altercation quickly got out of hand, with Wyllbee suffering serious injuries. Early that morning, his family—who had no idea he was visiting Kumasi—was told of his grave condition. Wyllbee passed away from his wounds despite being taken to a nearby hospital and then moved to Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
Seeking for Spiritual Protection
One of the men who participated in the lynching now says Wyllbee’s ghost is haunting him. The man has sought spiritual protection from Prophet Paul Kusi Appiah, claiming he only touched Wyllbee with his leg and was not involved in the beating. He claims to have had weird experiences with the deceased’s ghost and scary nighttime disturbances that compelled him to seek assistance.
Legal Proceedings
Nana Yaa, the woman at the centre of the incident, has been placed under arrest while the prosecution pursues legal action. She will likely face legal consequences. Her false denial that she knew not Wyllbee was a major factor in the terrible miscommunication that ultimately resulted in his death.
Community Reflection
The community has been deeply troubled by this terrible episode, which has brought attention to the perils of mob justice and the disastrous effects of unfounded allegations. The tragically sudden passing of Wyllbee serves as a sobering reminder of the need of due process and the defence of human rights.
A terrifying element to the tragedy is added by the haunting experiences of one of the suspected lynching participants, as the town grieves the loss of a promising young musician. The situation serves as a clear warning against the dangers of vigilante activities and lies, and Wyllbee’s family and allies are still working to bring justice to his family.
