Any attempts to water it down will amount to a re-introduction of Trokosi system. Ghana decided to abolish it,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Sosu conveyed his satisfaction with the police\u2019s protection of the minor and her mother, stating, \u201cWe\u2019re happy to know that they are safe [mother and child]. Because when you\u2019re dealing with children, we call something welfare principles. The overriding principle of dealing with a child is the welfare principle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The traditional council clarified that the relationship between the two is a betrothal, not a marriage. The office of Gborbu Wulomo stated that the 13-year-old girl is considered a property of the Nungua deity.<\/p>\n<p>He has called for the arrest and prosecution of Gborbu Wulomo for violating the girl\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2014\u2013<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francis-Xavier Sosu, the Member of Parliament for Madina, has criticized the union between a 63-year-old Ga priest and a 13-year-old girl, describing it as \u201ccondemnable\u201d.
