A man believed to be a notorious bisex escaped lynching by some residents of Oyoko,a suburb of Koforidua in the Eastern region.
The youth of the community on July, 11 stormed the Century Medical Laboratory belonging to the suspect, Prince Opoku in an attempt to attack him.
The aggrieved youth said the suspect who is the Chief Executive Officer of the medical centre allegedly had unlawful carnal knowledge with the victim, a 41-year-old Peter Owusu Boateng, against the order of nature.
The attack was triggered after the irate youth claimed the victim confessed to having sexual intercourse with the married suspect through his anus.
It follows subsequent confirmation by Physicians at the Oyoko health centre who said they saw lacerations around his anal area.
Eye witnesses disclosed to this portal that the rampaging youth ransacked and destroyed properties on the premises of Prince who doubles as a Public Health Officer.
The suspect is still on the run, and efforts are being intensified to apprehend him in order to bring him to justice.
Ghana’s LGBTQ+ community continues to face rampant discrimination, with perpetrators justifying their actions.
Ghana’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo is under intense pressure from Ghanaians who want him to sign it into law, and also from Western donors and human rights groups who are urging him not to approve a law passed by Ghana’s parliament to criminalize Lesbianism and Gay activities in the country.
Whilst the Christian community backs the criminalization of LGBTQ activities, human rights activists say it will be against their fundamental human rights.
Should the president approve the law, persons caught in the web of the law will be subjected to six months to three-years jail term, with promoters and sponsors facing three to five-year jail term.
