The community of Dzodze Apeyeme in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region was in a state of utter astonishment when Mr. Yao Awusa Ahiakpa, also known as “KPOENAVOE,” to wit, “look and be scared,” publicly admitted that he attacked his brother-in-law, Mr. Tao Kokose, through spiritual tampering and coordinations
The black powder charm that was strewn across his apartment’s threshold, according to reports rendered the victim helpless and bedridden. The victim died tragically a few days following the open confession of Mr. Yao Awusa Ahiakpa.
The Stool father of Togbi Akpabi VI, Mr. Simon Worname speaking to Fafaa 100.3 FM, a popular Radio station in Volta Region, stated that their palace has made numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact Mr. Kpoenavoe in order to conduct additional research on the victim’s death through his community guards.

Reports going viral indicated that, In an effort to intercede to preserve Mr. Tao Kokose’s life, many groups of people, including a fetish priest, Hunor Tadzie of Dzodze Apeyeme, the children of Kpoenavoe, the accused, and other people connected to the petition, were questioned on the airwave.
Prior to his death, Mr. Kokose requested that Mr. Emmanuel Ketaman Evortepe, Executive President of the Duamenefa Foundation and CEO of Fafaa FM Dzodze, look into the matter and take action to save his life from the atrocities committed by Mr. Kpoenavoe, who disobeyed the divisional chief Togbi Akpabi VI.
according to the petitioner, Mr. Kpoenavoe allegedly sprinkled “black powder,” a spiritual charm, on the door to his residence, rendering him extremely ill and immobile. He claimed that Emmanuel Ahiakpa, the accused’s ex-convict son, had keptGhc 6,500.00 in his possession and that this was the cause of his offense.
According to the petition, Mr. Kpoenavoe, the accused, was upset because his son refused to acknowledge him as his father and instead decided to deposit his money with Mr. Kokose, his uncle. Mr. Kokose allegedly threatened to deal with him after releasing the money to the family for the purchase of a plot of land for the ex-convict. The conspiracy to end his life was apparently hatched in the temple of a fetish priest named Hunor Tadzie. Mr. Tadzie is accused of disclosing the plot to the accused’s children.
The accused allegedly confessed to the crime and promised to offer a solution to help the victim when the deceased called him before the divisional chief, according to the deceased. However, Togbi Akpabi VI’s attempts to hold the accused accountable for his confession failed, leading to the petition to the Duamenefa Foundation for help.
The timely intervention of the Duamenefa Foundation resulted in a gathering of chiefs, assembly men, unit committee members, the Ketu North Directorate of the National Commission of Civic Education headed by Mr. Prosper Apealetey, the Ghana Police Service, and the general public to an open traditional arbitration at the palace of Togbi Akpabi VI.
During the traditional arbitration, Mr. Kpoenavoe, pleaded to be allowed to pay the sum of Ghc 7,000.00 imposed on him by the chiefs. This money is to be used to treat the victim. But alas! the victim died a few days after the intervention.
Mr. Yao Awusa Ahiakpa, aka. Kpoenavoe the accused is now on the run.
