The matter was reported to the elders at Wa and they decided that, anytime they come across any of such videos, they should look for the persons behind it and deal with them, since Islam frowns on such acts.
The motive, was to serve as a deterrent to other young girls from engaging in such acts in Wa, according to a source who hinted Graphic Online about the incident.
So, when this new girl’s video was spotted on social media, the youth went for her, and paraded her Tuesday afternoon to flog her.
It would be recalled that a similar incident happened at Kafaba near Salaga in the Savannah Region in July 2020, where a 90-year-old woman on the accusation that she was a witch was lynched.
The incident happened on Thursday, July 23, 2020 in the East Gonja Municipality.
One of the main suspects said to have spearheaded the lynching of the 90-year-old woman was arrested by the police.
The suspect Latifah Bumaye, 33, was arrested at Kejewu Bator, a fishing community near Salaga, the capital of the East Gonja Municipality.
