Gay doctor begs for forgiveness
The senior medical doctor at the Effia Nkwanta
Government Hospital mired in a sodomy scandal is
begging for forgiveness.

Dr. Sulley Ali-Gabass, a practicing Muslim and a
respected member of the Muslim Community in
Takoradi, sent a distress message to Muslim
leaders to forgive and help him deal with his
sexual orientation.

He told an opinion leader of the Muslim Community
that as a Muslim, he recognized it was wrong for
him to be involved with fellow men, but added he
had tried in vain to stop.

He said the Muslim Community, where he is an
inspiration to many young people, should not
abandon him.

Joy News’ Manasseh Azure Awuni blew the cover on
Dr. Ali-Gabass’ homosexual activities in a
thrilling investigation.

A victim of the medical doctor, Aziz (not his real
name) has been left badly injured and required
surgery to survive.

The 16-year-old has also been diagnosed with HIV.

He accuses Dr. Ali-Gabass of infecting him with
the virus – a charge the medical doctor flatly
rejected.

The doctor’s confession in an interview with
Manasseh that he had multiple sexual encounters
with the boy shocked the Muslim Community in
Takoradi which only a few years ago embarked on a
street protest against homosexuals in Ghana.

The Representative of the Muslim Community on the
Regional Peace Council, Saeed Jallo, led that that
demonstration.

He now faces a moral dilemma - hear Dr.
Ali-Gabass' cry for forgiveness and support or
ostracise him as he preached during the
demonstration.

Alhaji Jallo told Joy FM's Wester Regional
Correspondent, Kwaku Owusu Peprah the Zongo
Community there is still in shock.

He said members of the community were in denial
until they heard the doctor confessing to the
act.

"When you go to the Muslim communities, you will
see that every place is quiet because Dr. Sulley
Gabass is one person who has helped the religion
of Islam; the youth and student body of GMSA
(Ghana Muslim Students Association), have been
supported by Dr. Sulley Ali-Gabass both physically
and financially," he stated.

Alhaji Jallo said, "I was with him last night and
Dr Sulley is apologetic, he is so apologetic and
he said unfortunately he has been doing this thing
but he has tried as much as possible to get out of
it but it has been difficult so his message to the
Muslim Community is that we should forgive him for
dragging the name of Islam into disrepute. But the
man cried and I shed tears....Dr. Sulley is so
devastated I don't know whether this man can come
up again; whether this man can come out and be
what he was."

He said Muslim leaders will allow the law take its
full course but insisted that the medical doctor
needs help and should not be shunned.
