A girl, who allegedly admitted she was a commercial sex worker in a video shared on social media, has been picked up by some residents and flogged publicly in Wa.
She was paraded at the forecourt of the Wa Naa’s Palace on Tuesday (May 31, 2022) and flogged.
A video on the incident, which happened on Tuesday afternoon, has been shared on social media.
The girl in the video had allegedly admitted that she engages in hook-ups on the internet.
This did not go down well with some youth, who picked her up, tied her to a pole at the forecourt of the Wa Naa’s Palace and flogged her.
Graphic Online understands that there was a similar video early on, with another young girl also advertising that she does hook-ups on the internet.
The matter was reported to the elders of Wa, and they decided that, anytime they come across any of such videos, they should look for the person and deal with her 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 development.
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.
