MUSLIM MOB KILLS GAY MAN LAUNCHES HUNT FOR HIS PARTNER "TO REMOVE CURSE" (GHANA)

A group of Muslim youth from Nima in Accra has mounted a search for a young man believed to be a homosexual, after allegedly lynching his gay partner.



DAILY GUIDE gathered that Salisu Mohammed, a suspected homosexual, escaped the wrath of the angry youth of the area by a hair’s breadth when he was alerted by a family friend about the intended attack.



He subsequently left the area and has since gone into hiding.



A source told DAILY GUIDE that Salisu was a known homosexual in the area, and all advice by Islamic clerics and family, for him to change his sexual orientation had fallen on deaf ears. However, the real trouble began when another suspected homosexual by name Yaw Nkrumah came to live in the area, and the pair started flaunting their romantic relationship in the Muslim-dominated area.



The source revealed that matters got to a head last week when two men, whose identities DAILY GUIDE could not establish at the time of going to press, confronted Yaw Nkrumah about his ‘ignominious’ relationship with Salisu, and the former called their bluff, resulting in a scuffle. The two men went to mobilize about 30 men who stormed the house of Yaw Nkrumah, where they stripped him naked and lynched him.



Not satisfied, the group proceeded to the house of Nkrumah’s partner, Salisu, but the latter had prior information of their arrival, and escaped just in the nick of time.



DAILY GUIDE gathered that the youth had resolved to hunt down the young man in order to eliminate what they referred to as a “curse”.



In an interview, Inspector Kwadwo Osei, the Crime Officer for Nima Divisional Police said sometimes it was difficult for the police to identify who were involved in mob actions.



“My brother, these people would not open up to you when you try to establish who killed the young man (Yaw Nkrumah) and are pursuing his partner. They don’t see it as helping in investigations; they see it as snitching. And that community (Nima) frowns upon snitching”.



Meanwhile, the body of Yaw Nkrumah has been deposited at the Police Hospital morgue, awaiting autopsy.
