Ghanaian rapper Elom Adablah who is popularly known as EL has reacted to Counsellor Lutterodt’s comment on rape.
During a live discussion on Television, Counsellor George Lutterodt stated that rape victims enjoy being raped regardless of their unwillingness at the beginning of an act of rape.
Actress Ama K Abebrese shared the video in which he made the comment and condemned the act.
“This is highly irresponsible and very dangerous rhetoric that fuels sexual violence and rape culture. He claims he has spoken to ‘many rape victims’ and his assertions are based on that. Despicable,” she tweeted.
“This man Lutterot is a rape apologist simple. One of the worse I have seen because he masquerades with the title of ‘counsellor’ to essentially justify and normalise rape culture with a reprehensible statement that ‘all victims of rape enjoy the act’,” she added.
Also reacting to the consellor’s comment, EL said he gives the blame to the media who keep giving him the platform to make such comments.
“Personally I don’t Blame Lutterodt , he cant be helped. I blame the stations that continue to give him the platform to spew and spread his dangerous and ignorant rhetoric.” he tweeted.
