The Head Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Sampa in the Jaman North District of the Bono Region, Reverend Christian Johnson Obodai, has asserted that the content of some television stations is partly to blame for the increasing spate of ritual murders.
He believes that such television programs instill in people the desire to get rich quickly at all costs.
Rev. Johnson stressed the content of the information being telecast on the various television stations in the country, adding that this negative content has largely contributed to the recent killings.
He called on the authorities to act now to ensure that TV stations that telecast occultism and money rituals-related content are closed down to ensure sanity in the media space and prevent its future effects on the younger generations.
He also argued that the government and the policymakers of the country must institute capital punishment for ritual killers and all others who kill people for other reasons to serve as a deterrent to others.
He noted that there were laws in the Bible that “whoever kills with a sword must die from a sword”; hence there is a need for the same thing in our Constitution to ensure that evildoers are punished based on their actions.
He deemed it unfortunate that people who are sentenced to life imprisonment for killing end up being released after serving some time, which, according to him, is not punishable enough.
Rev. Johnson made these disclosures in an interview with The Sikaman Times’ Kwaku Mensah Abrampa.
