\u201cWe heard that last week there was a gay wedding at our premises so we became so alarmed. This afternoon, we met to discuss that issue and tomorrow we are meeting because we have instituted a full scale investigation into the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

He revealed that, \u201cAnother bird whispered to us that these guys are residents of a suburb around Tafo and I understand the chief there has even banished them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hajj Issah said they have been seeking information as to whether the incident did occur and also try to get a footage of the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we\u2019ve heard that the chief of that suburb has banished them, of course we will meet him, we will discuss issues with him and if it is true that he has banished people who have had gay marriage then we will know the agenda,\u201d he hinted adding they will get the security agencies to get to the bottom of the matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
