Angry residents Chase bisexual footballer; threaten to kill him
Abdullai Mohammed Alhassan
Some enraged Techiman villagers have declared war on Abdullai Mohammed Alhassan, whom they suspect of being bisexual.
The neighbours argued that the area is a Muslim-dominated community and that Islam, too, frowns on such horrific acts.
According to the residents, Abdullai Mohammed Alhassan is a “Demon” who lives among them; hence he must be chased out of the neighborhood.
“We can’t accommodate someone like this in our community. Furthermore, our culture frowns on this immoral act,” they fumed.
In an exclusive interview with Abdullai Mohammed Alhassan, he admitted to being a bisexual; adding that as a result of this the residents have been threatening and asking him to relocate from the area.
“Could you imagine the youth don’t allow me to associate with them anymore? I’m a footballer but anytime I go for training they don’t even allow me to step on the pitch or play with them.
“I’ve started getting life-threatening phone calls and messages.” To be honest, I’m terrified of living in this nation because life is getting unbearably difficult for me. My life is in jeopardy,” he lamented.
Since the security forces in Ghana shuttered the office of an organization that assists the LGBTQI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex) community in the country where homosexuality is illegal, some gays have intimated that they are wanted.
Religious groups such as the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) have also pushed for the government to summon foreign diplomats who support LGBTQI rights activism in Ghana.
