Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Leadership of the Nungua Traditional Council during the late hours of Wednesday, April 17, 2024 stormed the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel in Accra to demand the release of their 16-year-old queen mother, Naa Ayemuede.<\/b><\/p>\n

The teenager is currently under state protection following a betrothal ceremony between her and a 63-year-old priest.<\/p>\n

According to them, they believe that their 16-year- old queen, Naa Ayemuede is being held at the hotel and they want her immediate release to perform some customary rites.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been here since morning and expecting that either the Gender Ministry or Chieftaincy Ministry will release our queen mother for us. We have gone through all agencies responsible for this thing and per their pledge, we were expecting by this time our queen mother has been released, but nothing seems to be done.\u201d one of the protesters told.<\/p>\n

The protesters comprise of queens, queen mothers, priests, youth and leadership of the Traditional Council numbering hundreds. They are demanding the release of the 16-year-old girl, Naa Ayemuede, whose alleged betrothal to a 63-year-old Gborbu Wulomo sparked controversies over the past weeks.<\/p>\n

Jaasetse Nii Ayi Anakonte called on the President of the Republic, Nana Akufo-Addo to intervene in the matter. He argued that investigations so far revealed no breach of any of the laws of the country and for that matter the girl must be released to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect our President enough and all this that are going on, I know very well that he is not aware. He may have heard it but not aware of issues and the reasons why they have kept our queen mother for seventeen days, whether in confinement, detention or arrest, we don\u2019t know. What exactly is going on? Child protection, who is best to protect the daughter. Is it not the parent?\u201d He queried.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile protesters maintained that they have a tradition to perform and they will not leave the place until their queen mother is released.<\/p>\n
