Immense jubilation erupted in Affiena, a farming community in the Wassa Amenfi West District of the Western Region after residents successfully cut down a decades-old tree believed to harbour evil spirits.
For years, the towering tree stood at the heart of the community, shrouded in mystery and fear.
Locals claimed it was the source of unexplained misfortunes, including illnesses, crop failures, and even deaths.
Some residents avoided passing by the tree at night, convinced it possessed malevolent powers.
In a bold move, the community came together to fell the tree, performing prayers and rituals before cutting it down.
As the tree finally fell, cheers and songs of victory echoed through Affiena, with residents expressing relief and hope for a brighter future.
The felling of the tree has sparked conversations about the role of cultural beliefs in rural communities and how such traditions continue to influence daily life in parts of Ghana.
