Charles Owusu has called on Ghanaians, especially the youth, to stop seeking quick ways to enrich themselves.
The former Head of the Monitoring Unit at the Forestry Commission was alarmed by recent news of the murder of a 25-year-old trainee nurse at Mankessim in the Central Region.
Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder
According to a Police statement, the two - a self-styled Pastor, Michael Darko alias Nana 1, and Christopher Ekow Clark, Tufuhene (Chief) of Akwakrom - confessed to “murdering the victim for money rituals.”
“During Police interrogation, suspect Michael Darko, who is the alleged boyfriend of the senior sister of the deceased victim and was last seen with her, led police to the location where they had buried her after the murder.”
The body has since been exhumed and deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy.
“The two accused persons were today, 22nd September 2022 arraigned at the District Court II in Cape Coast and have been remanded to reappear before the court on October 4, 2022.”
Speaking on "Kokrokoo" programme on Peace FM, Charles Owusu wondered why people would kill to have money.
He charged the citizenry to know that it is good for one to be prosperous but this ambitious desire to be rich at all cost, thus resort to money rituals, is not the right way.
He asked the public to use appropriate means through hardwork to gain riches.
"Money cannot buy life. Let's be careful about our desires for quick riches", he stated.

Ghanaians should take part of the blame for these uncultured practices. We all sit unconcerned for some crooks called money doublers to sit on TV to deceive people. Nobody is saying anything. Now they display their contact numbers on the TV asking people to call them. Let's ask ourselves the conversation that takes place between these crooks and their ***barred word*** clients who fall for their scams. If you kill your fellow human being to become rich, how will you feel? Can you enjoy such wealth in peace? How long are you going to stay on earth to want someone to lose his or her life for you to be rich? These are the people who's behavior makes the death penalty relevant. Death by firing squad should be their answer. If killing people is that good they should also taste it. The deceased nurse trainee has gone with the soup waiting for her murderers to come with the fufu. Without soup fufu cannot be eaten. Barbaric, uncultured, untutored, wicked, inhuman, insane two calling themselves a chief and a pastor. Such people should be paraded through the streets before being sent to the firing squad. They don't deserve to live in any civilized society. The two would have been a very good meal for lions in the Accra zoo. Better still they should be caged in the zoo and treated like the animals there.
Dear Charles, Have you and your uncle returned the achimota lands? How about taking your own advise?
