We shall not entertain immorality in our community — Zongo Jihadist warn gays

A youth group known as the Zongo Jihadist has warned that it will henceforth not entertain any act of immorality within the Nima community and its environs.

The group also sounded a strong warning to all persons of Lesbianism, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender ( LGBTQ) community to desist from their "immoral and shameful acts" before they descend on them.

The group also warned all self-styled LGBTQ advocates to put a stop to their advocacies because they wouldn't be spared. The Group made the call at Madina, in Accra when it stormed the residence of one, Siddique Ali, a gay right activist or supporter.

According to its Madina Spokesperson, Alhaji Tanko, Siddique incurred their wrath when he saved a gay person from being lynched on 3rd August 2021. Alhaji Tanko indicated that said gay person was seen kissing and hugging his partner in broad day light.

When our boys descended on him and his partner, Siddique who was at the scene initially tried to plead on behalf of the gay man. To add insult to injury, Siddique manged to fled with the culprit. We therefore view Siddique's actions as an affront and disrespect to us. ''It's an act of betrayal and tratoring''.

We had a tip off that Siddique is back at the house and that is why we came. Though, we couldn't find him today but we shall continue to look for him. He cannot run or hide forever , we shall surely get him and punish him severely. He threatened that they shall use Siddique to set as an example in order to deter others from towing same line.

''Why must a Muslim be supporting gay practice'' he questioned. He referred to Siddique as a traitor, ingrate, flthy and a betrayal as well as a satanic offspring who deserves nothing but severe punishment. We shall teach him a bitter lesson , he wouldn't forget in a hurry.

The Spokesperson hinted that he suspects Siddique to be hidden around Adenta, Botwe, Somanya and its surroundings. He vowed that they shall comb the nooks and crannies of Ghana to bring him to face their wrath. Anyone found to had aided him to hide shall also incur our wrath. We are therefore sending a strong signal that we are coming for you people. ''Gays and their supporters have no place in Ghana to thrive''

In a similar development, the Nima affiliate of the Zongo Jihadists, stormed the residence of one, Muhammed Aminu and his cohorts. They warned that Aminu and his men remain on their wanted list and are still not welcomed to the Nima community.

According to the group, Aminu, a known tailor by profession even though is not a homosexual but incurred their wrath when he tried to defend his three gay friends whom he claimed were his clients, some years ago at Nima, a suburb of Accra.

Aminu Muhammed is said to be known for his strong opposition to how people of homosexual orientations were discriminated against in the country. He has on many occasions reportedly spoken against the violent attacks and torturing of gays within the Nima community by anti-gay youth groups.

Mr. Sani Sulemana Seidu, a leading member of the Zongo Jihadist group made these known to this reporter at the side-lines of a sensitization program organised at Kusuntu Lane, a suburb of Nima in the Ayawaso East Metropolis of the Greater Accra region.

The program was to among others to create awareness on the increasing activities of LGBTQ among the youth in the Zongos, its negative impacts and ways of curbing the canker.

On why Aminu is still on their wanted list even though he was chased out of the town some few years back, Mr. Sulemana pointed out that gay practice is a great sin against God and for that matter, Aminu's actions were also wrong before of the eyes of men which must be condemned to serve as a deterrent to others.

"Why must our own brother go to the defence of gay practitioners just because they were his clients in his tailoring job. He has simply given gays the power to operate and spoil our children who are our future leaders," he stated.

He mentioned that gay practice is abominable and shameful which must not be allowed to gain prominence amongst the people especially within the Zongo communities.

"God is against same sex marriage and if we do not want His wrath on us as a nation and people, then let us all rise up to fight and eliminate gay practice in our communities.

"Our youth are been coerced into accepting this shameful acts of homosexuality all in the name of human rights but that must not be accepted by the people. It is therefore our duty as a youth group to rise to the occasion to crash both practitioners of this shameful practice and their purported supporters and advocates in the country," he stressed.

Mr. Sulemana extended a call to other non-Muslim youth groups to join hands with them in the fight against homosexuality as well as other social vices amongst the youth.

He stated categorically that their main target is the youth especially those in second cycle institutions who are mostly introduced into the practice by colleagues through the influence of money.

According to the group, any person found to be an LGBTQ person or its advocate in the Zongos shall be seriously dealt with in accordance with Ghanaian and Islamic laws.

He bemoaned the fast pace at which the Ghanaian youth particularly those from the Zongos are becoming same sex lovers despite the practice been frowned upon by the African culture and Islam.

He mentioned that the group and its affiliates would not allow the abominable practice which is alien to the African cultural believes to gain prominence in the Zongo communities and Ghana at large.

Mr. Seidu disclosed that his outfit is ever ready to fight and eliminate the spread of the practice amongst the youth in particular. “We shall therefore crash anyone found to he an LGBTQ practitioner or supports the diabolic act to thrive," he threatened.
