Delali said when she was four years, she was admitted at a hospital where doctors who were supposed to take care of her gave her a wrong injection, ‘paralyzing’ her instantly.

Delali, now a mother-of-one, explained that to be able to move from one place to the other, she must put her left and right hands on her foot.

As though her plight wasn’t enough her biological mother abandoned her due to her condition, leaving her father as the only one to take care of her but as fate will have it, he also died along the line.

In spite of those struggles, Delali said she managed to enroll at Accra Polytechnic, now Accra Technical University where she acquired a diploma in Secretaryship and Management.

But, as has been the case with most disable people in our part of the world, Delali says she’s been denied many job opportunities because of her situation.

I have applied for many jobs but all to no avail. One day, an employer frankly told me, many emploeyers won’t employ me because of my situation, she said amid tears.

He told me the job of a secretary is now more field-oriented hence considering my situation, no employer will employ me, she said in an interview with SVTV Africa.

To change her story, Delali enrolled for a short course in broadcast journalism, her long-ghe;d dream career where she acquired a certificate in journalism, believing that could get her a newscasters job but that is also not to be.

As a result of her struggles to make ends meet, Delali gave in to a man who she thought could assist her, a relationship that led to her giving birth to a child but according to her, just one month after giving birth to the baby the man never surfaced again.

Delali is still an unemployed graduate, physically challenged and needs support from the society.

Anas exposes ‘pastor’ allegedly forcing orphan to eat own poop https://www.adomonline.com/anas-exposes-pastor-allegedly-forcing-orphan-to-eat-own-poop/ Mon, 24 Jun 2019 17:19:47 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=1677097 Investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has produced another documentary showing inmates of an orphanage forced to live under inhumane conditions.

Filming undercover, Anas and his Tiger Eye P.I team documented horrendous cases of abuse, in one instance showing a man of God forcing a child in an orphanage to eat his own excreta. 

But this, according to the journalist, is only a tip of the cruelty Rev. Lawrence Lamina, Director of Echoing Hills Village, subjects children to at his care home.

Echoing Hills Village is a non-governmental organisation located at Madina in the Greater Accra Region. It has been receiving tremendous help from the public both local and foreign, in order to continue to care for the children who are without parents and have found themselves in the home.

However, the inmates of the orphanage, the documentary reveals, have never known peace as they allegedly suffer hell and torment daily, in the hands of the man of God.

“I see them as my own children,” he was captured saying in the documentary. But Rev. Lamina is seen supervising the torture of a young boy.

“Do you want to kill me? I’ll kill you first,” the pastor fumed while the child is subdued, pressed to the ground so that he cannot protest while being subjected to degrading treatment by his caregiver cum minister of the Gospel.

The harrowing experiences of children in this orphanage where sex and sodomy are pervasive have been documented in Anas’ latest undercover work which will be premiered this Friday, June 28 on a number of television networks including JoyNews and Adom TV as well as his website, jesuisanas.org.

Anas in a Facebook post on Monday said: “When a man of God pulls a dagger and threatens to kill a child in his orphanage for committing a ‘crime’, he naturally courts society’s wrath and outright condemnation.”

“It is shocking to watch the video, yet it is gratifying that a place meant for the protection of children in difficult circumstances but turned into a special prison for their torture has finally been exposed,” he added. 

Above is a short extract from the documentary that is set to be premiered later this week:
