A number of Muslims in Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly have demonstrated against the activities of homosexuals in the area with a call on government to enact Sharia Law in Ghana.The demonstrators, numbering over 1000, believe when the law is considered by the ongoing constitutional review exercise, and finally enshrined in the country’s statutory books, it would scare people from engaging in immoral conducts, like gay and lesbianism, that are gaining root in some parts of the country.The Muslims, joined by many interested persons, including disabled persons, defied a heavy downpour Friday morning to cover over five kilometres and were expected to present their petition to the Western Regional Minister, Paul Evans Aidoo, at the offices of Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly.Joy FM’s Western Regional correspondent Kwaku Owusu Peprah, who followed the demonstrators, said the Minister is expected to forward the petition to Parliament for consideration and ratification.The demonstrators feared if immediate steps are not taken to uproot the activities of homosexuals in the area and the country at large, the consequences on the society would be dire.The demonstrators had heavy security protection as they chant Muslims songs.The demonstration, Owusu Peprah said, became necessary after it was rumoured a fortnight ago that a secret gay wedding was held in the metropolis.Story by Isaac Essel/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
