We are deeply disturbed by the recent incident that took place in Kadjebi, Oti Region, where a 19-year-old electrical apprentice named Bright Abusah was subjected to a horrifying experience at the hands of a local tailor. The tailor, whose identity has been withheld, has been apprehended by the local police following the reported incident.
According to Abusah, he was lured to the tailor's workshop under false pretenses and subsequently locked up. The tailor then proceeded to engage in inappropriate behavior, including showing explicit videos and forcibly shaving Abusah's genitals. It is reported that Abusah, fearing for his safety, complied with the tailor's demands before managing to escape and seek help from his grandfather, who then reported the incident to the authorities.
The accused tailor's statement to GhanaCrimes.com, suggesting that such experiences are essential for a man's learning, is deeply concerning and highlights a disturbing mindset that trivializes the violation of individuals.
This incident raises serious concerns about consent, personal safety, and the vulnerability of individuals in such situations. It is imperative that cases of this nature are addressed promptly to ensure justice for the victims and to prevent further harm to potential targets.
We commend the swift action taken by the local authorities in apprehending the accused individual. It is crucial that such cases are thoroughly investigated and that appropriate measures are taken to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
We urge for a thorough examination of this case and for the necessary support to be provided to Bright Abusah as he copes with the aftermath of this traumatic experience. It is essential that individuals are protected from such violations, and that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
Our thoughts are with Bright Abusah and his family during this difficult time, and we hope that justice will be served in this distressing matter.
