Alleged killers of the 11-year old boy at Kasoa for ritual purposes would have been glorified by society if they had succeeded and acquired riches, Prof Kwesi Aning of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Center, KAIPTC has said.
According to him, if these teenagers had acquired the land rover they wished to buy and drove to church, they would have been given a seat in the front row and be invited to public functions without anyone question their source of sudden wealth.
“If these boys had been successful, and as one of them said by Friday, Saturday he had bought that Land Rover, society would have glorified them.
“And it is the hypocrisy of even the way we are handling the public discourse that worries me even more. No one would have said I am going to the police, to EOCO to say, look; an 18-year-old kid has bought a $90,000 car. How did he buy it, we would have glorified him.
“Our religious institutions would not have thrown him out when he drives in there pompous, arrogant. He would have been invited to public functions… we should bow our head in collective shame,” stressed.
