A 23-year-old woman has reportedly died after an electric shock involving a sex toy she was allegedly using, according to a report by Kasapa News.
The Kasapa News report indicated that neighbours heard a loud explosion coming from the unidentified woman’s room and rushed to investigate.
The neighbours, upon reaching her room, reportedly found her in a critical condition, with the electrically powered device allegedly still plugged into a wall socket.
According to the account, the woman was not in a romantic relationship and had reportedly used sex toys before deciding to try an electric vibrator for the first time.
Her neighbours allegedly heard sounds from her room before an explosion prompted them to check on her.
They reportedly discovered her lying in a pool of blood, with injuries said to be around her genital area.
She was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment but is said to have died two days later.
The circumstances surrounding the reported incident remain unclear, and the cause of the woman’s death has not been independently confirmed.
In related news, Yudah Brown, lawyer and content creator of TheLawgh on TikTok and X, has said the use of sex toys, blowjobs and head could land an individual 25-year jail term in Ghana.
According to the lawyer, Section 104 of ACT 29 of Ghana’s laws criminalised the use of sex toys, blowjobs and head.
He noted that the laws in Ghana only recognised the natural form of penetration.
Speaking in a viral short video, Yudah Brown detailed, “Using toys for sexual intercourse in Ghana is an offence. Anyone who gives head, head of departments, called blow jobs, also commits an offence according to section 104 of the criminal anyone who does this will be jailed for 25 years maximum.
The only permitted act is the natural form of penetration, the male gbola to the female kpekus”.
He further added, “As funny as this may sound, unnatural canal knowledge is an offence, directing the penile organ to another hole, the penile organ to the mouth or the mouth to a female organ is an offence and you will be jailed for not less than five years and not more than 25 years”.
The lawyer further cited a Supreme Court case: “The Supreme Court in the case of Dr Prince Obiri versus the Attorney General expressly stated that sexual intercourse with a person or animal other than the penetration from the male’s to the female organ is unnatural and has been criminalised by section 104 of ACT 29.
“They are just not good for your health”, he boldly reiterated.
The case cited by Yudah Brown in his short video highlighted the Supreme Court of Ghana on 24 July dismissing a case which had been brought by Dr Obiri-Korang in 2021, challenging section 104(1)(b) of the Criminal Offences Act 1960, which criminalises ‘unnatural carnal knowledge’.
Dr Korang claimed that the provision violates the rights to liberty, non-discrimination and privacy as guaranteed under the Constitution.
However, the Apex Court dismissed the case on all grounds, holding that section 104(1)(b) is constitutional. The Court held that the right to privacy can be compromised for the prevention of a crime.
The Supreme Court also held that, as the provision also applies to ‘unnatural’ conduct between a man and a woman, not just to the LGBT community, it is not discriminatory.
Also, the court rejected the submission that the provision breached the right to liberty, holding that this right applies solely to free movement within a state, not personal decisions or autonomy.
The Apex Court placed a strong importance on the particular traditions, values and morals of Ghanaian society, which, it held, reject homosexuality.
The Court therefore highlighted that foreign developments and legal philosophy on this issue cannot be used to legalise same-sex sexual conduct, and to override Parliament and the moral structure of Ghanaian society.
