A communications officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, Godwin Bobobee believes the recent suicides in the country’s institutions could be the repercussions of ritual killings by various political actors prior to the 2016 elections.
He alleges that prior to the 2016 polls; politicians were consulting shrines and other spiritual deities for political power and protection and could have sacrificed human beings to fulfill the evil promises made to the gods.
To this end, he sees the recent spate of suicides as something spiritual which should not be overlooked and must be dealt with through prayer from powerful men of God.
There have been reports of suicide deaths in the various university campuses and other places with at least four confirmed cases
Psychologists have blamed the situation on depression suffered by the deceased persons which could have triggered them to commit such acts with the latest being a final year student of the University of Ghana (UG), Jennifer Nyarko.
But the NDC communicator in the Ashanti Region thinks politicians might have used the blood of innocent citizens to purify the gods.
He therefore asked religious believers to pray against any unfortunate deaths since the country cannot afford to lose the youth who will take leadership of the country in future.
The aspiring regional Youth Organizer of the NDC who spoke to mynewsgh.com asked the youth to rise against politicians who believe it is only through the use human of blood a political party can win power.
