Hmmm! What is the offense of the foreigners deported from the US? If the USA cannot keep them in their prison, then Ghana has no power to keep them in detention because they have not committed any offense against Ghana. Either deport them to their respective countries or send them back to the USA, where they come from... We can take our deportees from Ghana, but not from other countries!

PETITION TO END BARBARIC HUMAN SACRIFICE IN GHANA

Petition to:

The President of the Republic of Ghana

The Parliament of Ghana

The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ)

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II

Civil Society Organisations and International Human Rights Bodies

Subject:

End the Practice of Human Sacrifice in the Name of Tradition

---

I, the undersigned concerned citizen of Ghana state as follows:

1. Right to Life is Supreme
The Constitution of Ghana (1992) guarantees the right to life under Article 13. This right is sacred, non-negotiable, and cannot be overridden by cultural or traditional practices.

2. Outlawed Practices as Precedent
Ghana has already outlawed female genital mutilation (FGM), trokosi and repealed the death penalty. These were progressive steps towards justice and human dignity. Yet the continuation of ritual killings — particularly linked to burial rites within the Ashanti Kingdom — undermines these achievements.

3. Ongoing Threats
Self-proclaimed “executioners” continue to threaten the public with impunity, creating fear and normalising violence. This is not culture. This is crime.

4. Modernisation Demands Change
The Asantehene himself has embraced modernisation and global engagement — attending the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II where no such barbarism was observed. If modernisation is genuine (holding a diplomatic passport, enjoying state protection and VVIP convoys etc), it must include abolishing inhumane customs.

5. Failure of Leadership
Our political leaders, religious voices and civil society groups have largely remained silent. This silence amounts to complicity. Ghana’s progress cannot be reconciled with blood-stained traditions.

---

I therefore demand:

1. Immediate criminalisation and enforcement of laws against ritual killings under the guise of tradition.

2. A clear statement from the Presidency and Parliament affirming zero tolerance for human sacrifice.

3. Public commitment from the Asantehene and the Ashanti Traditional Council to abolish such customs once and for all.

4. Involvement of CHRAJ and human rights bodies to monitor, investigate and prosecute any cases of ritual killings.

5. National education and sensitisation campaigns to protect vulnerable communities from being victims of these practices.

---

Conclusion

Ghana cannot claim democracy and civilisation while permitting murder in the name of tradition. I urge immediate action to end this barbaric practice, protect human life and uphold the dignity of our Constitution.

If NDC were to be in opposition this issue could have been a fine opportunity to lambast the government through their press conference strategy but just watch NPP will remain silent on the issue, do you remember the LGBTQ issue how NDC took that as a weapon to degrade NPP and now that they are in no power no one talks about it and NPP is ASLEEP.

Deportees still in the country? Mahama said they had been despatched to their countries. Is Mahama feeding the country falsehood? Oh, Ghana, when shall we get honest leadership?

President Mahama and Ablakwa are telling nothing but lies. The lawyers representing these deportees have filed suit against Ghana for the conditions under which they're being kept. Had these deportees been repatriated to the various countries, no lawsuit would have been filed. The government has been caught with its pants down for entering into a stinking corrupt deal with the king of the Art of the Steal Trump, and all Mahama and Ablakwa can do is lie to the people of Ghana. Instead of admitting that the government was wrong for entering into that crooked and corrupt deal with Trump, this Ghana government believes it can mask its stinking deal by spitting out one lie after another. Clearly, Mahama and Ablakwa were not acting in the best interest of Ghana when they secretly signed on to that corrupt Trump that deal does nothing but further demean African countries.

President Mahama and NDC have failed to learn their lesson. The GITMO 2 was part of the reason you lost election in 2016. You guys are repeating the same mistake. Has the US government deported Ken Ofori Atta? What is stopping this government from going for Ken Ofori Atta? Shithole leaders.

GITMO 2 were terrorists prisoners. The current deportees are just illegal immigrants.
There's nothing wrong with accepting West Africans who are not criminals.

NDC Means, The Nation Destroyers Committee. The Evil Party And The Babies With Sharp Teeth. John Dramani Mahama Is A Big Liar And A Destroyer. He Reduced The Dollar Currency With Intentions To Steal. The Price Of Petrol, Electricity, Water, And Cement Is Still High. And This Idiot Mahama Is Asking Ordinary Ghanaians To Reduce Their Commodities, Non Sense. Incompetent Government Who Stole His Way To Power. Four Million Nigerians Biafrans Are Holdind Both Ghana Card And Voter ID Cards And They All Voted For The NDC, That Is Why The Aimless And Useless So Called IGBO King Is Feeling More Pomposs In Ghana And On John Dramani Mahama.
