Traditional authorities express anger over the prolonged detention of the underage bride due to her marriage

The Gborbu Wulomo’s Office has issued a stern warning, cautioning of potential divine repercussions for those hindering the release of Naa Okromo, the 16-year-old girl who was ceremonially wedded to the Gborbu Wulomo in preparation for the Homowo festivities.

Despite assurances from Child Rights International that Naa Okromo would be reunited with her family on Friday, April 12, 2024, through the Department of Social Welfare, her whereabouts remain unknown in the community.

Tsetse Nii Bortey Kofi Frankwa II, the Nungua Mankralo, voiced his apprehension regarding the situation during an interview with Citi News.

“Holding on to her and having her under custody, for us, beats our minds with what is being done. Any other thing that will happen that is going to cause some level of issues for the Homowo Festival spiritually, we will put it on whoever is causing it.

“We will inform our ancestors, and we will inform the deities that it is not us but these individuals who have forced us not to perform this particular rite.”
