This rumor about restaurant owners cooking with corpse water to enhance client traffic has been going on for a long time.
In June 2013, there was a viral report of a restaurant owner who went insane after confessing to using corpse water to cook for customers.
There was a tweet by Abisola Olabode that same year about a woman who runs mad in Port Harcourt after confessing that she cooks with water used to bathe corpses for customers that patronise her restaurant.
A similar allegation came out of Ghana on Thursday, May 5 about a woman who uses corpse water to prepare the delicacies she sells and also buries human body parts around the premises.
This claim was made by a woman on Facebook who exposes her mother’s wickedness to the world.
The young lady, who wishes to remain nameless, describes how her mother employs African voodoo to boost sales and keep all of her customers.
She went on to say that her mother travels to Togo every 21 days to give sacrifices to the god she worships in order to keep her company thriving.
The frightened lady, who seemed quite remorseful in her writing, went on to say that she feels sorry for her mother’s customers, saying that most of them went bankrupt after eating at their restaurant.
However, the girl does not want to continue her mother’s wicked activities, but the evil mother warns that if she does not, the family will face a major disaster.
The restaurant has been in operation in East Legon, Ghana’s Accra Metropolitan region, for the past 15 years.
The confession was posted on Love&Pills, a popular Facebook page.
“Keep me anonymous sir. My mom owns a bar at East Legon.
It’s been operating for over 15years and we are rich. Mom has a lot of money right now, we all studied/study abroad and have our own cars, houses and all.
I am the first child and only daughter among two boys.
She wants me to take over the business because my brothers are into something else but I can’t.
Mom uses charm and I can’t do it.
Herself and all of us don’t consume anything from the bar because of the spiritual implications involved.
I’ve seen successful people go broke at mom’s bar.
She travels to Togo every 21 days but I don’t know what she goes to do.
She’s yet to introduce that to me. So far, she has introduced me to a diener (morgue worker) who gives her parts of dead people and water used to bath them.
She mixes the water used in the food preparation with that of the one used to cleanse the corpse and then bury their parts anywhere around the bar.
I feel sorry for our customers because people come there to spend so much money, some people even have to leave their cars because they’ve consumed more than they can pay.
I don’t want to continue with her deeds. I wish to end it and use my qualifications to get myself a job because I studied abroad but, she said if I quit the business, it will have bad effects on us.
I don’t know what she means but she has refused to explain and is insisting I take after her.
