The media gives too much attention to fraudsters - Kufuor

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has blamed the recent teenagers' 'ritual money' killing on the attention given to “fraudulent” individuals on various television stations.
Mr Kufour in an interview on JoyPrime’s KMJ said some media houses have been giving their platforms to ingenuine people and trickers who make vain promises while the nation watches on.
“How could young people do this? What do they know? Unfortunately, you media people are giving so much exposure to tricksters and fraudulent people, promising everything. When you look at them you should know that these are people who are themselves just bad and ignorant. That is not the way for our society to go.”
The Former President said that it is important some of these people are not given the platforms to perpetuate their lies because of the impact they could have on society.
His comment comes after the 16 and 18 year old suspects confessed to taking their young neighbor’s life for rituals.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the National Media Commission (NMC) has downplayed speculations that the killing of a 10-year-old boy in Kasoa was influenced by the proliferation of spiritualists on national television.
Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafo sees the linkage as a lazy way to approach the investigations into the murder which saw two teenagers, Felix Nyarko and Nicholas Kiki gruesomely murder their friend, Ishmael Mensah with the intention of using his body parts for rituals.
