migration of the Simpafo( the aboriginal name of the people of Winneba). The people believed that a god, who they called Penkye Otu, had protected them from all dangers during their migration and to show their appreciation, the people consulted the custodian of the god, a traditional priest who acted as an intermediary between the people and the god, to ask the god for its preferred sacrifice. To their astonishment, the god asked for a human sacrifice, someone from the royal family. This sacrifice went on for some years but was later stopped as the people were no longer interested in human sacrifices. A request was made to the god to change the sacrifice type, as they believed that sacrificing royalty could eventually wipe out the royal family. The god in return asked for leopard to be caught alive and presented to it at its shrine. After the presentation, it was to be beheaded as a sacrifice. This was to be done annually in a festival. So many people were hurt during the leopard hunt/ live capture that it was later changed to bushbuck hunting. Game Hunting The game hunting begins with two Asafo Companies, Tuafo 1 and Dentsefo 2. A week to the aboakyer festival both the Tuafo 1 and the Dentsefo 2 outdoor their gods.On Tuesday the two Asafo company will parade at the seashore for canon race to compete among themselves.On friday a day to the game the two main ansafo groups that's tuafo1 and dentsifo 2 will parade their gods.On saturday the day for the game the two asafo company will dress to the forest to hunt for the bushbuck.
