Former senior officer of the Ghana Police Service who currently serves as the Member of Parliament for Wa West Peter Toobu has bemoaned what he says is the glorification of ill-gotten wealth in Ghana.
It comes on the back of the killing of a ten-year-old at Kasoa by some teenagers. Police say the teenagers allegedly killed the minor for money ritual.
Speaking On Starr Fm, Mr Toobu said
“It’s just an opening for us to have a conversation and dig deeper because the rot might be deeper than what we’re seeing. If you look at the Kasoa teen killing as a single matter, you’d be making a mistake. Ghanaian society glorifies ill-gotten wealth. As long as you’re rich and a bit philanthropic.
These young boys are telling us what our society has become. They’ve just played out who we are,” he told host Francis Abban on the Morning Starr Monday.
On new development with the Kasoa Ritual Killing, A fetish priestess who was contacted by the young boys is facing prosecution.
The development has sparked public conversation on the seeming ‘get rich quick’ syndrome among young Ghanaians.
The two teenagers are currently in demand while the young boy they killed has been laid to rest.
Investigation is still ongoing
