In a video sighted by cliqtv.news.blog two Ghanaian military men was seen brutalizing civilian mercilessly amid the covid19 lock-down.
In more recent times military brutality, certainly now isolated, rather than systemic, has crept back into the country with some predictable certainty. This must not be allowed to go unchecked. And to add insult to injury, there is a shameful, deafening silence whenever the military brutalize civilians. This must stop.
The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a toll on everyone’s economy across the globe with Ghana being no different.
Centre, Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, popularly known as Prophet One is already in tears.
As Ghana enters day 2 of a partial lockdown, the General Overseer of Ebenezer Miracle Worship Centre, Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, popularly known as Prophet One is already in tears.
President Akufo Addo ordered a lockdown of Accra, Tema and Kumasi for two weeks effective Monday, March 30 as part of measures to control the spread of the deadly Coronavirus.
Reacting to the lockdown which has restricted movements into and from the aforementioned areas, Prophet One shed tears uncontrollably on live TV over challenges that face people in Ghana due to the lockdown.
Most churches in the country have found alternative means to spread the word of God to their congregations without the usual mass gathering but Opambour claimed the ban on church activities is making it very difficult to reach out to his members with the word.
Aside from his church and its members, the man of God also empathised with ordinary Ghanaians who are unable to work to provide for their families.
A video of him getting emotional and reaching for his handkerchief to wipe off his tears has been making rounds online.
Some commercial sex workers say their business has been hard hit following the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Ghana.
The ladies of the night have lamented the low patronage of their services saying their regular customers from whom they used to make lots of money no more patronize them for fear of contracting the deadly disease.
Ghana has so far recorded 152 cases of Coronavirus (COVID 19) putting fear into a large section of the public.
Speaking to Kasapa FM‘s Bonohene Baffuor Awuah on condition of anonymity, a commercial sex worker stated that the turn of events is making life difficult for them as they are no more making money.
She said although they’ve made sanitizers and wipes available for their customers to clean themselves after sex, they still don’t patronize their services.
“Business is not booming as it used to be, our customers are no more patronizing our services because of the outbreak of Coronavirus. The Chinese people have cost us a lot with this disease. This is a job that we’ve been doing over the years to cater to our families, but now if the men are passing and we call them some verbally attack us. Now, the married men don’t stay long in town, they are in a rush to go home to their wives.”
She added: “Even though we tell them we have wipes that they can use to clean themselves after having sex, they still refuse to patronize our services. We’ve almost run out of business. But the President said only services at Churches and Mosques should be suspended, I didn’t hear him saying prostitutes should stop work. We are still working so the men should patronize us so that we can get some money to fend for ourselves and family.”
