Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has reacted to the brutal murder of a teacher and the killing of an elderly woman, describing it as appalling and devastating.

Reacting on his X page, he disclosed that the event was indicative of the moral decline in the Ghanaian state.

He said the brutal murder of a teacher and the appalling rape and killing of an elderly woman are among these tragedies.

He said, “These occurrences are not isolated but indicative of a more profound moral and social decline.

“How did we arrive at this point? How did we come to a situation where teachers are pursued and killed, and the elderly—guardians of memory and wisdom—endure such degrading violence?

“This transcends a mere security issue; it represents a failure of our collective humanity. We have grown desensitized, briefly consuming tragedy and then moving on, permitting indifference to make the unacceptable seem normal.

“To the families affected, I share in your sorrow. However, sorrow alone is insufficient.

“We must insist on accountability and immediate systemic reform. If such atrocities no longer compel us to act, we risk forfeiting our shared humanity.”
