From the Office of Gborbu Wulomo, the girl in question is 16 years old, not 12 years as the public is speculating. They also revealed that the girl is not married to the 63year old man but to the deity. She is a special child whose mother impregnated her for 2 years before giving birth to her.
The Office of Gborbu Wulomo emphasized that Ghanaians should respect tradition and stay away from the situation. Rev. D.N. Gyasi Ankra , who is the speaker for Gborbu, has threatened to deal with the police if anything happens to their Queen, the 12-year-old girl.
The Office of the Gborbu Wulomo Shitse is fighting off claims that it is involved in acts of illegality after the purported marriage of a 12-year-old girl.
The traditional authority insists that the child in question is a 16-year-old, who will only be responsible for various customary rites and not conjugal activities.
According to a press release by the Office of Gborbu Wulomo– Tshitse, the young girl has only been customarily married to a god and can have her own man when she is of age. This is the latest explanation from WULOMO’s camp.

A significant 63-year-old priest in Ghana has stirred controversy by marrying a 12-year-old girl, who was chosen to be his wife at the age of six, despite Ghanaian law setting the minimum age of marriage at 18.
The priest, also known as a Gborbu Wulomo, Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, conducted the marriage ceremony in accordance with customary practices in Nungua, Krowor, on Saturday. While the priest faces criticism from outsiders, local community leaders argue that outsiders fail to comprehend their customs and traditions. According to these customs, the young girl was instructed to be prepared for marital responsibilities and enhance her ‘sex appeal’ with perfume gifts.
