Magagiya Hajia Hawah Garba Queen of the Zango Community at Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region, has asked parents to closely momitor the activities of their children to ensure that they do not become victimes of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex plus (LGBTQI+).
According to her, it is about time all well-meaning people became inquisitive wherever there were children to save them from the claws of those who engaged in such abominable acts in this country.
Speaking in an interview with The Spectator, the Magagiya said what children watched on television or other audio visual materials, who they listened to or associated with, whether age mates or adults should not be taken for granted because one could not be sure about who had plans on passing on the practice of LGBTQ I+ activities to unsuspecting children.
She said any changes in a child which looked suspicious as far as the subject was concerned should be attended to as swiftly as possible because it was always better to deal with negative developments at the early stages.
In her opinion, the most unfortunate thing that could happen to any child was to become LGBTQ I+ a trend she described as devilish and unacceptable because the Holy Quran abhored it outright.
She said sleeping with the same sex was something that even animals knew was wrong and, therefore, questioned why humans who were supposed to know the difference between right and wrong would stoop so low to engage in it and worse of all try to get others on board instead of being ashamed and clandestine about it.
She said it was time all persons who believed in procreation and the well being of humanity got on board to fight the emerging trend by not allowing evil to triumph over good.
magagiya Garba said the activities of LGBTQ I+ persons should be condemned but all efforts should be made to convince them based on the teachings of Islam and every good religion to do what has right because “man was made for woman woman for man and not man for man or woman for woman”.
She said the teachings of Allah must prevail over the advocacy towards LGBTQI+ so that the world did not suffer the consequences of the irresponsibility of a few people.

Construction of a major underground stormwater drain along the Dr. Busia Highway within the Kaneshie enclave will commence on September 7, 2026.
The Project Coordinator for the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project, Dr. Kwadwo Ohene Sarfo, announced this at a special media briefing on Wednesday.
According to him, the works will involve the construction of a double-cell underground rectangular drain measuring approximately 10 metres wide and 1.95 kilometres long, stretching from Pamprom Junction to First Light Junction.
The new drain will replace the existing two 1.2-metre diameter pipes, which are inadequate to carry the volume of stormwater in the area.
Dr. Sarfo said the drain will connect at one end to the recently completed section within the Accra Academy campus and at the other end to the existing drain at Pamprom Junction.
He said the construction is expected to run from September 2026 to October 2027.
The project forms part of government’s broader flood prevention and mitigation programme aimed at addressing perennial flooding in Accra.

The former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has withdrawn from the party’s National Chairmanship race.
In a statement issued yesterday, Chairman Wontumi who is currently serving a 20-year jail term said his decision was driven by his love for the party and his unwillingness to let his personal circumstances distract the NPP from its rebuilding efforts.
“There are moments in the life of a man when the heart wants to continue, but duty demands sacrifice. Moments when one must quietly set aside personal ambition, not because the dream has died, but because the family he loves must not be made to carry his burden. Today, I find myself at such a painful moment,” he wrote.
He disclosed that after many nights of prayer, sober reflection and consultations with his family, legal team, party elders, campaign team and trusted supporters, he concluded that his present situation must not become an additional burden on the NPP.
“This is not the decision my heart desired, but sometimes, true love requires us to release what we deeply want in order to protect what we love even more,” he added.
Recounting his years of service, Chairman Wontumi said he had served the party with everything within him, walking through heat and rain, travelling to remote communities and standing with the grassroots in both victory and defeat.
“For many years, I have served the NPP with everything within me… The NPP is not merely a political party to me. It is my family. It is my home. It is a cause to which I have dedicated a significant part of my life,” he stated.
He explained that the party, already carrying the pain of electoral defeat and the huge responsibility of preparing for the future, should not be made to carry his personal weight.
“That is why I cannot allow my present situation or personal ambition to distract the party from the difficult work of rebuilding. I cannot ask the party to carry my weight when it is already carrying the pain of defeat and the enormous responsibility of preparing for the battle ahead. I would rather carry this pain quietly than allow the party I love to suffer because of me,” he said.
He further sympathized with his supporters across the 16 regions, acknowledging that the decision would be painful for many who had sacrificed for his campaign.
“To my teeming supporters across all sixteen regions, I know this message will hurt. I know many of you will read it with tears in your eyes because I understand the sacrifices you have made for this journey,” he said.
