Losing morals over Stan wars🤦‍♀️. At least Ayra used her platform to speak up and help bring attention to Javit’s case. Can’t say the same for the other one. 💔

so a young Ghanaian boy was bullied in the Bronx and he was eventually shot and killed. literally was such a quiet kid and he came to America less than a year ago. His dad has been in America for the past 26 years. xenophobia is genuinely despicable. I’m sick to my stomach.

Just a 15 year old boy with dreams of a better future, trying to make something of his life. He left home to chase those dreams, only for his life to be cut short on his way to school. He deserved so much more. Justice for Javits Frimpong. 💔🕊️ #JusticeforJavitsFrimpng

Government of Ghana’s statement on the tragic killing of Javits Frimpong in the Bronx, New York. I have spoken to the father of Javits, Mr. Thomas Frimpong and directly conveyed the condolences of the Government and people of Ghana. On my instructions, officials of our Permanent Mission in New York have visited the family and coordinating with local authorities. The Foreign Ministry will work tirelessly with US authorities to ensure justice is secured. The family of Javits and his loved ones remain in our thoughts and prayers. May God grant his lovely soul a peaceful repose. For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾
