The father of Ishmael Mensah Abdullah, the 10-year-old boy tragically murdered in Kasoa by two young men in a money ritual attempt, has called on the Ministry of Communication and Digitalisation to intensify efforts to stop media outlets from advertising money-doubling schemes.<\/p>\n
He believes these ads serve as an incentive for criminal behaviour and pose a threat to public safety.<\/p>\n
Frank Mensah Abdullah recalled the Ministry\u2019s earlier initiatives to curb such harmful advertising practices, particularly on TV stations, and urged that this crackdown be expanded to include radio stations as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government must embark on an exercise to clamp down on radio stations that advertise money rituals and money doubling. I remember the Minister of Communication and Digitalisation began an earlier exercise. They must continue the exercise again to deal with stations that are into such practices. This will prevent others from engaging in such acts.<\/p>\n
He expressed some relief at the recent sentencing of Nicholas Kini, who was 18 at the time of the crime and received a life sentence.<\/p>\n
However, Abdullah voiced dissatisfaction with the legal handling of Kini\u2019s 15-year-old accomplice, who was referred to a juvenile court.<\/p>\n
He urged lawmakers to consider revising regulations around juvenile sentencing in cases of serious crimes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have indeed had judgement and we must come together as a family. The issue has put my family into debt. We are trusting God for something good.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank the judges for bringing the matter to a logical conclusion. The government must take a second look at the law that refers a juvenile to a juvenile detention centre. They must revisit the laws.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
