Ghanaian Musician Byno Ayoni shares how he was almost kidnapped because he is an albino
Ghanaian singer Byno Ayoni, who gained fame as the winner of Season 12 of TV3’s Mentor music competition, recently shared his alarming experiences related to the myths surrounding albinism.
During an interview on Hitz FM, Byno revealed the frightening realities that people with albinism often face due to dangerous misconceptions.
He disclosed that he had narrowly avoided kidnapping on two separate occasions, all stemming from the unfounded belief that individuals with albinism possess gold hidden beneath their skin.
This myth has led to severe consequences, with violence and even murder being perpetrated against those with the condition in various regions across the globe.
Byno emphasized how these pervasive misconceptions contribute to an environment filled with fear and mistrust, making it increasingly dangerous for individuals with albinism to navigate their daily lives.
His testimony highlights a critical issue, underscoring the urgent need for increased awareness and education to dismantle these harmful stereotypes.
By bringing attention to these issues, Byno aims to foster a greater understanding of albinism and advocate for the protection of those affected by these misconceptions, ultimately working towards a society where individuals with albinism can live without fear and discrimination.
