Dial - Season 2 - Episode 36

Then four men emerged from the trees behind the others.

Two were elderly old men, probably Elders of the Palace.

One was the grim-looking King Obiba, wearing a blood-red smock and shorts with a horned warrior’s helmet on his head. He was holding a wicked-looking knife in his right hand, and he was seething with absolute and uncontrollable rage.

The fourth man in that ensemble was, of course, that wicked and vile man called Okomfo Basabasa. He was dressed in a raffia skirt, as usual, and had smeared his body and face with some multi-coloured paint. He was holding that horsetail whisk which he pointed at me, his evil face made meaner by his obvious hatred.

“You have defiled our customs ever since you came here!” he whispered in a voice shaking with rage. “And now you made the gods of our ancestors angry by desecrating the village! You have destroyed the ancient village of Etwe-Pe-Kote by uprooting all the citizens and settling them in a vile forest, in the home of the ghosts and spirits! You have disturbed the peace and sanctity of the
nsamanpowmu with your actions! The gods find you guilty, and you’re sentenced to the crudest death of being buried alive whilst you’re naturally breathing!”
