Though education is loosely defined as the acquisition of knowledge, socialization and moral development—a session of KNUST students decided to throw into the dustbin the key elements of education, the reason why they are at the University to become public sex tape ‘screeners and watchers’.
According to multiple reports, certain students of KNUST mounted a giant screen yesterday (Monday, May 2) and with pride publicly screened a sex tape of two other students—intending to shame the woman in the tape.
Pathetically, the screening was hugely patronized by other students who were excited to watch the about two minutes adult tape.
It’s sad that any human being, especially a University student for that matter would do such a thing to another human being, whose private enterprise has unfortunately made it to the public sphere. And the large number of students who trooped to the venue, Independence Hall, from Unity Hall and University Hall to watch the tape clearly shows that, we are housing a bunch of ‘lunatics’ as students at KNUST.
Many have questioned the moral correctness of what the students did—condemning the screening of the tape as repugnant and immoral.
For me, it’s not an issue of moral inconvenience but it’s a legal crime against all women, committed by those who took charge to screen the tape and perhaps those who even participated in the public viewing.
Section 281 (C) of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act makes it a criminal offence for any person to distribute or exhibit any obscene video or tape publicly; or to make a business of lending any obscene material.
Therefore, the discussion and condemnation should be taken out of the moral pit and be thrown to where it rightfully belongs—-a criminal offence.
If University students who ought to know better can publicly disregard the laws of Ghana and act without conscience just so that they can achieve their deplorable motive of shaming another, then the law must be allowed to sweep them off their feet and deposit them where they deserve without any dose of mercy.

Interestingly, it’s said that the face of the male person in the screened sex tape could not be seen but that of the female was clear from a far distance. This means the woman will as usual receive the grave shame and will have to deal with the consequence of this offensive act.
The various ‘Women Interest Based Organisations’ should take this up and ensure that those involved are duly served, to help kill the brisk growing culture of young people shaming and making the lives of young women hell in Ghana through sex tape leakages…
What started as leakages which would normally be peer-to-peer shared has become something else; students are proudly, comfortably and publicly screening private sex sessions of their colleagues on a large screen at a University campus without thinking twice.
This is sad, full of humiliation and heartless—and whoever the long arm of the law can catch should be dealt with.
Such crimes against women should not be happening in Ghana, especially in a place like KNUST, a hub meant for the training and shaping our future leaders….
