Actress Efia Odo is wondering if the only time black lives matter is when they are murdered by whites.
This comes on the back of the killing of a 90 year old woman in Kafaba a town in Salaga, Northern Ghana.
The woman, Akua Denteh was lynched on the accusation of being a witch.
A few people have condemned the act and the police are still investigating the matter.
But Efia Odo feels Ghanaians are not treating the issue with the needed attention.
She noted that the reason this is not getting so much could be because it is part of the Ghanaian culture.
“Wondering why the same energy given to George Floyd isn’t being given to the elderly woman who was lynched due to allegations of witchcraft. I am too to blame,” she said in her tweet.
“Maybe it’s become it’s a norm in our culture so no one really cares. Does black lives only matter when whites kill us?” She added.
