A 28-year-old drug store operator has reportedly been arrested after a hunter found him inside an unburied coffin at a cemetery in Foase, in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region.
The man, identified only as Foster, was discovered on Thursday, November 5, 2026, according to accounts from residents.
Discovery at the Cemetery
Residents said the hunter was passing through the cemetery when he noticed the exposed coffin. His dogs reportedly moved towards it, drawing his attention.
The hunter allegedly pointed his gun at the coffin and threatened to shoot anyone inside. Foster then emerged, according to the residents’ account.
A herbalist who was nearby gathering herbs reportedly joined the hunter in escorting him back into the community. Their arrival attracted residents, some of whom called for police involvement.
Police Involvement
Some residents alleged that Foster had spent three days inside the coffin as part of a money-making ritual. Neither the length of time nor the alleged motive has been independently confirmed.
He was subsequently handed over to the police to assist with investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident. No details of any charges have been published in the available reports.
