You must be living in a cave if you have not heard the stories the hovers on the heads of actress Christabel Ekeh and internet made “celebrity” Rashidatu Mohammed otherwise known as Rashida Black Beauty.
They both share same scandal of a supposed leaked n#de video or pictures to their name and their name would not go by without this brand attached to it.
Well “celebrity” lawyer, Maurice Ampaw says both ladies must be arrested since is it a crime under the laws of the land to show your nudity to the world on any platform social media very much included.
In an interview with the Daily Heritage, Dr Ampaw said :
“The Criminal Code of Ghana debars anyone from publishing or offering for sale any material that has the tendency to deprave societal morals. Any publication that is unnecessarily and improperly calculated to excite passions or corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences can be held for promoting obscenity.
“Obscenity also involves having in your possession, putting into circulation or publicly exhibiting obscene drawings, prints, posters, photographs or any other related obscene objects. This means that downloading indecent materials and images from the internet as is often done, also amounts to a criminal offence, even though there are no plans to publish or circulate the obscene objects,” he said. He bemoaned that the needless indecency being thrown at the public each passing day while the police and the legislature look on was a cause for concern.
“We should not fight against galamsey and mob actions only but include indecent exposure and obscenity in the campaign to curb the high rate of young ladies demeaning themselves through indecent sekzual exposure to become rich or celebrities,” he said. The frank speaking lawyer said “I foresee that in future if the menace is not brought under control, n#de pictures and videos would be sent to the President in search of ministerial post.
“To make this menace stop someone needs to be arrested to send a strong signal that the country’s laws do not condone such immoral behaviours.” He urged the media to stop honouring, glorifying and rewarding impunity and “stupidity” and start awarding decent people.
“We are living in a country where young girls expose their private parts on social media and then immediately they are given award and become celebrities,” he added.
