The Overlord of the Wala Traditional Council, Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo, has condemned the flogging of a young woman and a man for alleged involvement in sexual misconduct in Wa and sharing the video on social media.
He said the act could only drag the reputation of the palace into disrepute and gave the assurance that the perpetrators of the barbaric act would be fished out to face the full rigours of the law.
The Spokesperson of the revered chief, Jinpehi Naa, Naa Kadri Ibrahim, said this in an interview with the GNA in Wa in reaction to the incident which happened at a scene purported to be Wa Naa’s Palace.
He explained that the flogging happened in the absence of the Wa Naa, and he the Spokesperson, adding that none of the principal Chiefs was also around.
He said whoever took the decision to have them flogged erred and must be arrested and brought to book.
He said the victims should have been reported to the law enforcement agencies for necessary action if they were deemed to have committed a crime rather than taking the law into their hands by flogging them in public.
The Palace will therefore collaborate with the Police to see how professionally the issue can be handled.
