“We need to give the youth an alternative to a good living so that as we call them to get out of sin they will have something to lay their hands on let’s do it in a way that the one at the village will feel comfortable being in Ghana” these are the words by the Former Secretary General for the Christian council Reverend Opuni Frimpong.
According to him, it’s sad to see young people grow in love and in faith in magical powers something that must be treated with some sense of urgency by both spiritual and social leaders.
“Magical powers for wealth in place of hard work is a big problem and even goes as far as being a threat to the nation’s peace”.
He was reacting to the news that a young man died as a result of testing the fortification of the juju (black magic) he had gone to take to fortify himself against guns and knives.
This sad news broke out in a video sighted by our editorial desk and comes as no surprise to a section of Netizens as gun-wielding has become a norm in some rural areas.
In the video, the young guy urged his friends to shoot him to test the strength of black magic he just acquired against guns. This makes us believe he’s an armed robber or landguard who needed that fortification.
After the sound of the gunshot, the young boy just held his tummy and fell flat on the ground dead. The black magic they had acquired did not work as expected.
