Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has called for the arrest of a man who confessed on live radio about engaging in sexual activities with a minor.
In a viral video on social media, the presenter speaking on Sompa FM shared a story about how he engaged in a sexual relationship with a girl from age 14 when she was in primary six until she completed her secondary school education.
“I had sex with one 14-year-old a few years ago. Her father is a wealthy man in Dormaa Ahenkro. I slept with her so much… She was very voluptuous. I had sex with her multiple times from when she was in class 6 until she completed Kumasi SHS. Oh Kwame, sinning is not good,” he reflected.
His confession came up during a discussion on the show about the nature of Karma. He shared his experience saying “Now after my daughter also got to that level, I noticed one teacher had also started engaging her inappropriately, and so I complained about it to my wife, and then she reminded me of my past sin with the other girl.”
“She asked what age the girl was when I had sex with her, and then I said she was about 14-15 years old. Then she asked me how I got hold of her. I said it was through extra classes and by the time I knew it, I had broken her virginity. And then my wife responded, do you know God has paid you back? I thought about it and told her she was right. The law of natural karma. It hurt me,” he mentioned.
His confession has since generated widespread condemnation of his act with calls for his arrest.
Actress Lydia Forson in reacting to the video expressed her worry about the presenter’s action
“If I speak on this video now, you will say I hate men. You will ignore that this man openly bragged about sleeping with a 14-year-old on air. You will instead focus on my outrage; or make it the 14-year-olds fault for allowing this. Ok,” she wrote on X.
Sarkodie also joined Lydia Forson to condemn the video calling for the man’s arrest.
“I sense no hate here; he should not be walking around freely,” Sarkodie tweeted.
