Muslim group drags Scripture Union Deputy Chairman to National Security over hate speech

The Committee on Muslim Rights has accused the Deputy Chairman of the Scripture Union of Ghana, Dr. Samuel Ofori Onwona of hate speech against Muslims.

In a viral audio on social media, Dr. Samuel Ofori Onwona is heard making statements that the Committee on Muslim Rights statements have far-reaching consequences for national security.

According to the Committee, the alleged statements threaten national stability which is founded on religious pluralism, tolerance, and cohesion.

As a result, the Committee has filed a petition to the National Security Minister requesting for the Deputy Chairman of the Scripture Union of Ghana to be investigated.

“We hereby call on your outfit to institute an investigation into these issues and apply the needed legal regime which in our belief, has been sufficiently breached by the subject,” part of the petition from the Committee on Muslim Rights reads.

The committee shares the view that the matter is so concerning that if not addressed, could have a catastrophic implication on national security

The petition concludes, “We shall standby to assist in any investigations that will help to unravel this monumental security breach. We would be disappointed if your outfit fails to act.”
