A bizarre incident has taken social media by storm after a middle-aged man allegedly attempted to exploit a deaf and mute sex worker by refusing to pay for her services. According to reports, the man engaged the woman—colloquially referred to as an “ashawo”—and afterward decided to withhold payment, believing her disability would leave her unable to demand her rightful fee. However, he severely miscalculated.
The deaf woman quickly mobilized her colleagues by sending a WhatsApp message alerting them to the situation. Within minutes, a group of fellow sex workers arrived at the scene to confront the man. When he still refused to pay, they took matters into their own hands. In a video circulating online, the man is seen begging for mercy, but the women appear resolute. They proceeded to seize his belongings, including a refrigerator, rolls of toilet paper, and other household items, as collateral for the unpaid debt.
The footage has sparked heated debate across Ghanaian social media. Some commenters have condemned the man for trying to take advantage of a vulnerable person with a disability, calling his behavior shameful and predatory. Others have questioned the women’s decision to confiscate property rather than report the matter to the police. A few have pointed out the irony of a dispute over payment for illegal activity being settled through vigilante justice.
