Some locals in Wa have picked up a man and a young lady who went popular in a leaked pornographic video uploaded on social media and publicly flogged them.
On Tuesday (May 31, 2022), they were paraded in front of the Wa Naa’s Palace forecourt and slashed by a group.
According to various eyewitness accounts, the young girl advertised herself as a commercial sex worker who did hook-ups.
The situation was brought to the attention of the elders at Wa, who decided that if they came across any more of these recordings, they should look for the people who were behind them and deal with them, as such acts are forbidden in Islam.
The goal was to prevent other young people in Wa from doing similar crimes.
When the video of the girl became viral on social media, the youngsters rushed after her and paraded her down the street on Tuesday afternoon to flog her.
