Ghanaian media personality MzGee has issued a strong call for accountability in cases of child molestation, expressing her desire to see every abuser face the full weight of the law. Her remarks, delivered during her Gee O’clock show, resonated widely as Ghanaians continued to react with anger to the tragic story of 16-year-old footballer Ransford Owusu Ansah.
Ransford, who played for Siano Football Academy in Amasaman, reportedly endured repeated sexual abuse at the hands of his coach, Ibrahim Anyass. His mother revealed that her son’s health and behaviour began to change drastically before he confided in her about the ordeal. The teenager later became seriously ill, was admitted to hospital, and died earlier this year.
For months, there were no arrests or official investigations despite the gravity of the allegations. The matter only resurfaced after an online petition—now backed by more than 1,400 signatures—called on the Ghana Police Service, the Attorney-General’s Department, and the Ghana Football Association to take swift action.
MzGee’s statement has since become a rallying point for many who believe justice has been delayed. Her message went beyond condemnation—it also urged a shift in how society handles such crimes, calling for both justice and rehabilitation. She lamented the culture of silence that often shields perpetrators, particularly within sports and other institutions that involve minors.
By concluding her remarks with a hope that offenders eventually become better individuals, MzGee highlighted the importance of balancing punishment with reform. Her appeal has further intensified public demand for stronger child protection measures in sports academies, churches, and schools across Ghana.
