'You are sick' - Ghanaian celebrities blasts man who wants to have sex with 12-years-old DJ
A number of Ghanaian celebrities have called-out a young Ghanaian man who expressed sexual desire to "chop" young celebrity disk jockey, Dj Switch.
Commenting on a Facebook post by Dj Switch, the young man, identified simply as Richard Amoah said in Ghanaian pidgin, "a for chop this kiddie," meaning "I need to have sex with this girl."
His comment generated a stir on social media with many describing him as "pedophile" for harbouring the thought of having sex with a girl who is just 12-years-old.
Reacting, Former Chairperson of Ghana's Electoral Commission, said: "Dear Mr. Richard Amoah, please note that 'chopping' a child is a criminal act. It is not a joke. And it is morally reprehensible. Get treatment!"
"Richard Amoah, we have seen your face and we will find you..what a shame, " On-Air-Personality, Kofi Okyere Darko (K.O.D) wrote on Instagram.
A social media user with the handle, @aba_ahinful said: "We have dealt with him on Facebook but it seems he has no remorse at all. So my friends and I have reported his account but it's not enough!! Please help get him into police custody to answer questions!!"
Another one wrote: "The fact that he had the confidence to comment on a public platform is what's making it even worse"
A user by the name, @jay_wally8701 blamed his comment on societal and cultural values "Am not surprised at this gentleman’s comments... that’s the culture being encouraged and upheld in Ghana. The system in Ghana needs to be purged . The young generation needs to wake up and hold everyone accountable for their actions."
