Ghanaian broadcaster MzGee has delivered a blunt message to child molesters, saying she hopes every abuser is caught and made to face the full consequences of their actions.
Concluding her commentary on the Gee O’clock show, she said, “Every other man, woman out there who is molesting children, I pray that you’re caught and the law deals with you. And you come back a better person.”
Her words stern yet redemptive struck a chord across social media, as Ghanaians continue to express outrage over the alleged sexual abuse and death of 16-year-old footballer Ransford Owusu Ansah.
Ransford, a player with Siano Football Academy in Amasaman, was reportedly subjected to repeated sexual abuse by his coach, Ibrahim Anyass. According to his mother, the teenager’s health and behaviour began to deteriorate before he confided that his coach had been molesting him. Ransford later fell ill, was hospitalised, and eventually died earlier this year.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, reports suggest that no arrest or formal invitation was extended to the accused coach or academy officials for months.
The case only gained renewed attention after an online petition now signed by over 1,400 people called on the Ghana Police Service, the Attorney-General’s Department, and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to investigate and prosecute those responsible.
It is against this backdrop that MzGee’s appeal carries emotional and moral weight. Her message was not only a condemnation of abusers but also a plea for systemic change one that ensures justice is neither delayed nor denied.
Throughout her commentary, she expressed frustration over the seeming culture of silence surrounding sexual abuse in sports and other institutions.
By concluding with a prayer that offenders “come back a better person,” MzGee underscored her belief that justice should go hand in hand with rehabilitation that punishment should lead to transformation, not merely retribution.
Her message adds to the growing public pressure on authorities to act decisively in the Ransford Owusu Ansah case, and to implement stronger safeguards for children in schools, churches, and sports academies across the country.
