The Ghana Police Service has identified and located the 12-year old girl who is alleged to have been married to the 63-year-old Gborbu Wulomo in Nungua, Accra.
The girl and her mother are currently under police protection.
A terse statement by the Police said: “The Ghana Police Service is working with the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection and the Department of Social Welfare to provide her with the necessary support while the matter is being investigated.”
The news of the traditional marriage ceremony stirred public outrage, with some members of the public calling for the arrest of the Ga Priest.
There was huge backlash against Nuumo Borketey Laweh XXXIII, the Gborbu Wulomo, when a video of him marrying the 12-year-old girl, Naa Okromo at Nungua on Saturday, March 20, 2024, went viral on social media.
But Gborbu Wulomo defended himself saying that the girl would not have sex with him.
