President Mahama, in the name of the Almighty God, let Taylor swallow his own bitter pill

The recent arrests and detentions of the alleged offenders of free speech are not just coincidence, in the sense that President Mahama promised during his meet the press gathering in 2025 that the authors of ‘irresponsible speech’ on the social media were going to be located and brought to book through their IP addresses.

In Ghana, and Africa as a whole, our conducts and attitudes are mostly guided by the majoritarian African culture of respect, so it is quite alarming when some loose talkers like Kevin Taylor would hide behind the social media and preach hate speech and incitement and abuse all sorts of people, including the Asantehene, the Akyemhene, the Volta chiefs, the Fante chiefs, amongst others, and go scot free.

The serious act of terrorism being carried out by the strident and patently bitter social media terrorist, Kevin Taylor, who domiciles in the United States of America, should not be overlooked by both the American Authorities and their Ghanaian counterparts.

Obviously, the vociferous Kevin Taylor is hiding behind the cloak of American democracy, and squeamishly and unjustifiably abusing innocent people and inciting thugs to cause harm to his adversaries with unabashed disgust.

Needless to say, freedom of opinion and expression is not an absolute right in national and international jurisprudence. In fact, this right, like others, may be restricted to protect and balance other rights and interests.

Evidently, the boisterous geezer, Kevin Taylor, has been hiding behind the free speech and opinion of expression and consistently requesting, urging, advising, and counselling, tempting, commanding, and more so enticing hoodlums to cause harm to others.

Suffice it to say, incitement, instigation, abetment and solicitation are all common to various criminal codes world-wide, including the United States of America and Ghana.

Besides, hate speech – the advocacy of hatred based on nationality, race, tribe or religion – occupies an exceptional position in international law, encapsulated in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights(ICCPR).

The loudmouthed Kevin Taylor has consistently been trampling upon the living, the dead, the spirits, and the gods, without any apparent reasons.

Comical Taylor has regrettably been hiding behind the cloak of freedom of opinion and expression and persistently abusing innocent people and inciting hate speech day in and day out without any comeuppance.

Suffice it to stress that incitement, instigation, abetment and solicitation are all common to various criminal codes world-wide, including Ghana, and the United States of America where the social media terrorist, Kevin Taylor, domiciles.

My dear reader, we must not and cannot lose sight of the fact that most wars, crimes and genocides which were perpetrated against humanity were arguably expedited through the use of hate speech, aimed at securing popular support for illegal and violent action.

We can attest to the Nazi hate speech which preceded the Holocaust, the Radio and Television hate speech which preceded the Rwandan Genocide and al-Qaeda hate speech which preceded the attacks on the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001.

A voluminous evidence, in fact, can be found on the social media platforms on how the urchin Kevin Taylor blasphemously talking down the Quran and The Bible with unabashed disgust.

The loose talker Kevin Taylor evidently insults people indiscriminately, and once vowed evocatively to burn some chiefs and their palaces. How insolent?

SO it was quite unfortunate and somewhat disgusting when between July and August 2025, while in Ghana, the abusive Kevin Taylor was set free over his charges of smearing a judge and a competent court of jurisdiction.

More regrettably, it was alleged that the state used the taxpayers money to protect the insulting Kevin Taylor and his family whilst in Ghana. How bizarre?

My dear reader, let’s be honest, if those who put the state resources at the disposal of the irresponsible Kevin Taylor did not cause a financial loss to the state, what is it then?

If you would recall, sometime in 2025, we observed, read, heard, and watched a multitude of ebullient social media commentators, apparently immersed in a gamut of emotions on the revoltingly ugly and somewhat incoherent and preposterous pronouncements over an alleged fake doctor by a certain importunate social media broadcaster, who goes by the name, Kevin Taylor.

Indeed, it was Kevin Taylor, who mulishly encouraged an alleged United States of America trained doctor to deceive the good people of Ghana.

By so doing, Kevin Taylor is criminally liable to the same extent as the alleged fake doctor.

Back then, the uninitiated Kevin Taylor unabashedly attacked, abused , and threatened court action on individuals who doubted the credentials of the alleged fake doctor.

Incredibly, Kevin Taylor asserted somewhat audaciously that the said doctor received her medical training from John Hopkins University and practises in the United States of America, and therefore he is ready to lock horns with anybody who tries to bring her reputation into disrepute.

However, after ignobly abusing everybody over the credentials of the said doctor, it turned out that, the lady was, after all, not a medical doctor.

My dear reader, please tell me, what does that make of the vociferous Kevin Taylor then?

Your guess is as good as mine.
After all, it is often said that ‘the successful trial and the subsequent crucifixion of ‘Satan’ would require a witness from hell’.

Evidently, any agencies or individuals that have the privilege to investigate or uncover misdeeds can also commit same heinous crimes in the process.

In that regard, isn’t it fair for anybody who has any concerns to call for a probe into the dealings of such persons?
