The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt Rev. Prof. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, has expressed worry about the increasing addiction of the youth to betting, and called for efforts to check the trend.

He observed that the situation had left many of them in pain and poorer as betting companies continued to cash in on their vulnerabilities.

Rt Rev. Mante was speaking at the dedication of the Daniel Ntow Obese Children and Youth resource centre for the Unity Presbyterian Congregation at Nkanfoa in Cape Coast yesterday.

The project, which was at the ground floor, was taken over by the Obese family which set up a foundation to complete the work in honour and in memory of their father, Daniel Ntow Obese.
