Diaspora Zongo Youth condemn assault on pastor over offensive religious comments

The Zongo Youth of the Diaspora has strongly condemned the assault on Apostle Daniel Junior Yaw Adjei by Sibamay Zakaria at a police facility. Zakaria was arrested earlier this month for allegedly making offensive religious comments. The Zongo Youth's Public Relations Officer, Al-Asbat Sidi, described the attack as unlawful and demanded Zakaria be arrested and investigated.

Sidi questioned how Zakaria managed to enter the police facility and assault the detained pastor. He also called for the questioning of police officers present during the incident. Sidi expressed concern about the rising trend of inflammatory religious comments, emphasizing the need for responsible public discourse. Apostle Daniel Junior Yaw Adjei and Imam Masud Abdullah were arrested on August 12 for separate alleged inciteful comments.

Sidi commended the arrests, stating that they could help maintain peace and promote responsible media behavior in Ghana.
