Police Arrest Doctor Who Rapes His Patients: Manasseh Azure’s Brilliant Investigative Documentary Overshadowed By Takoradi Fake Pregnant Woman

Ghana’s media landscape; both traditional and social have been captivated with news and breaking news about the infamous fake pregnancy and kidnapping brouhaha that occured in Takoradi during the week.

For obvious reasons, this story about fake pregnacy and kidnapping will continue to dominate the media landscape for a while considering the dynamics of Ghanaian contemporary society.

You see, Ghana is an interesting country. Citizens are divided basically into two groups of people; the first set of people who see nothing wrong with government, and to whom government never does wrong. The second group of people are those who see nothing right with government, and to whom all bad events, even if it were a married man failing to service his wife, should be blamed on government.

Interestingly, when an issue such as the Takoradi incent pops up, the second group of people are the first to take the side of the victim (in this case the so-called pregnant woman) and attempt to find a way to blame government.

Eventually, when the dust settles, and the first group of people are vindicated, the second group goes mute, while the first attempt to troll and castigate their counterparts on the other side, while praising government for being on top of issues.

The above scenario is a regularly-occuring phenomenon in Ghanaian life, and it also explains why a brilliant documentary like the latest one outdoored by award-winning investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni is not gaining the attention it deserves.

Working for the Fourth Estate, a media non-profit organization under the Media Foundation for West Africa, Manasseh Azure has exposed one Dr. Joseph Ohene Nkunim, a self-styled physiotherapist and gospel minister, who hides under the cover of medical practice to rape unsuspecting women who are desperate for treatment.

Following months of painstaking investigations, Manasseh Azure was able to strip the said physiotherapist of all the lies wrapped around him, and is finally on the way to get justice for the violated women, some of whom ended up losing their marriages.

Yet, despite the conclusiveness of the investigation, and the fact that the Police are finally getting one evil man off the street, it appears the documentary will still not get the national attention it deserves because Ghanaians are busy squabbling among ourselves as to who is right and who is wrong in a matter of a woman who only sought to do all it takes to maintain her husband’s affection, even if it meant doing the unthinkable.
