Elephant Attacks Tourism Minister

But for the timely intervention of some tour guide, Mrs Catherine Afeku and her entourage escaped an attack of an elephant

The Minister of  Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Catherine Afeku together with her entourage after  visiting the Larabanga Mosque and the Mystic Stone in the West Gonja District proceeded to the Mole National Park,which is one of Ghana’s biggest natural parks. But things took an unexpected turn when the Minister and her entourage were taken hostage by an angry elephant.

For over 30 minutes, the convoy was held hostage and was at the mercy of the elephant that was attracted by a siren from the Minister’s convoy midway through their journey in the park.

After about 30 minutes, a lul which looked like a reprieve proved a hoax when the elephant started chasing the minister and her entourage just as they were about to lave the scene.

The situation was so scary that even the police officers were gripped by fear. One policeman leading the convoy on a motorcade was seen fleeing the scene.

Gripped by fear and panic, some persons could be heard screaming ” it’s coming to us”.
