E/R: Fetish priest inflicts life-threatening injuries on his ex-girlfriend over broken heart
An angry and envious fetish priest, Togbe Gadefia has attacked his ex-girlfriend and critically injured her with a machete because he could not accept that she would marry another guy.
The violent event took place in Asamankese in the Eastern area, and the attacker handed himself in to the police while the victim was taken to the hospital.
Rakia, 25, and Togbe Gadefia were lovers before she broke things up so she could marry a Muslim.
The jilted man, who resides in the Asamankese suburb of Krofoforomu, was very hurt and tried everything she could to win her sweetheart back, but to no avail.
On September 11, 2023, at about 9:00 p.m., he laid ambush and attacked her with a machete after learning that the ex-lover was getting married that weekend to another man.
Gadefia had tried to cut off the victim’s head but she blocked it with her hand, resulting in the amputation of her forearm in the process.
Additionally, the attacker used the machete to cut off the ex-girlfriend’s patella (kneecap) before fleeing from the scene.
A passerby reportedly chanced on Rakia lying in a pool of blood and transported her to the Asamankese government hospital where she was stabilized before a referral for surgery at Koforidua’s Eastern Regional Hospital.
