The Gborbu Wulomo, Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, has found a new wife.
His wife, according to Ablade TV Online, is twelve years old. Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII is likewise 63 years old.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, March 30, 2024, the page stated that this was a traditional marriage between the Gborbu Wulomo of Nungua and the girl named ‘Naa Okromo.’
“In Nungua, the air is dense with tradition as the usual marriage between Gborbu Wulomo, Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, and a young girl named ‘Naa Okromo’ takes place. The venerable Gborbu Wulomo is ’63 years old’,
“According to their community conventions, Naa Okromo now goes by the traditional name Naa Ayemoede. But this union is incomplete without other ceremonies. Naa Ayemoede will participate in a second traditional rite, this one focused on cleansing. This process will enable her to carry out all of her responsibilities as the Gborbu Wulomo’s wife, including the critical responsibility of procreation,” according to the article.
According to the article, the wulomo’s 12-year-old wife is part of his attempt to assert power.
According to tradition, after assuming control, the Gborbu Wulomo must also take a ‘Boi ekpaa yoo’, also known as’sɛiheyoo’. This serious ceremony is performed just once in the life of the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse,” it stated.
However, the tweet has sparked widespread indignation and comments online.
“Now, they declare that the preceding 18 years have all been tasted. So the quest for a virgin for a man with traditional values must go deeper. Why?” Maximus Kwaku Ametorgoh posted on Facebook.
Hikmat Baba Dua also remarked, “Now, they claim that the preceding 18 years have all been tasted.” So the quest for a virgin for a man with traditional values must go deeper. Why?”
Auguster Boateng said, “There are so many things wrong with the country, and this is one of them!How can a 12-year-old child become a bride in 2024? Is this a foolish joke????”
Justice Baidoo expressed optimism that the incident is a joke and that the Gender Ministry and Police are investigating the facts. He also stated that the custom of giving a 12-year-old girl to a 63-year-old man is not something he supports.
Abby Auni also said, “This is terrible! The Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection must act quickly!”
“He is marrying a real CHILD! Pedophilia in the guise of tradition and culture remains pedophilia, and he must be stopped!” Araba AG also said.
