As reported by Ablade TV, the Chief Priest of Nungua customarily took for himself a new wife and but the age has raised suspicions and caused mixed reactions on Social media.

Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru  XXXIII, the Gborbu Wulomo of Nungua is reported to be 63 years old while his new wife is just a little girl believed to be 12 years old.

The little girl known as Naa Okromo has now assumed the role of the wife of the Nungua Chief Priest and will take the traditional name Naa Ayemoede.
