ACCRA (Reuters) - Ghana's navy returned an endangered giant turtle to the ocean after freeing it from weeks in a sorcerer's home, a wildlife official said on Wednesday.
"We received a tip-off that this herbalist or juju-man had a giant green turtle in his possession at Tema," Gerald Boakye of the Ghana Wildlife Society told Reuters.
"So we got the police involved and apprehended him and freed the animal back into the ocean," he said. Tema is Ghana's main port 11 miles west of the capital Accra.
