The Nungua Traditional Council clarified that Naa Yoomo Ayemuede, the spouse of Gborbu Wulomo of Nungua, Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, is actually 16 years old, not 12 as previously stated. This contradicts the age of 13 mentioned by the Mankralo of the Nungua traditional area in an interview with Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show. Despite criticism, community leaders defended their actions, citing cultural customs. Images from the ceremony have caused outrage, particularly comments encouraging provocative dressing and marital preparation. Critics demand the annulment of the marriage and an investigation into Mr. Tsuru. Members of the Nungua Traditional Council and the Office of the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse stress that there is no sexual relationship or formal marriage involved, highlighting Naa Yoomo’s educational privileges and care provided by elders within the community. They assert that her upbringing is influenced by her royal status, requiring her to forego a typical childhood.
