The family of a popular hairdresser at Jema in the Western Region, Afia Amoakoaa, popularly known as Maafia, has vehemently rejected reports of her death and conveyed the body to a prayer camp for divine intervention.
Afia was pronounced dead by a medical doctor at Jema Government Hospital, but the family convinced that she was still alive, took her body to a prayer camp for a miraculous revival.
The family engaged in fervent prayers at the camp, seeking a miracle for the hairdresser.
However, after several hours of fruitless attempts, they reluctantly returned her body to the mortuary.
Justifying their actions, some family members, including the Assembly member for the area, said Afia’s body felt warm and too fresh to be declared dead.
According to close sources, the family was already mourning the death of Afia’s mother, who will be buried on February 10, 2024, so it was difficult to accept the sudden demise of another family member.
But the medical doctor who declared Afia dead stopped the morgue from accepting the body.
He asked the family to write formally acknowledging that indeed their daughter was dead before the body could be deposited at the morgue.
Meanwhile, the family has agreed to submit the letter immediately to preserve the body.
