Ghanaian singer Noella Wiyaala, says she is ready to take on men who desire to marry underage girls in her community.
The songstress warned men in the northern part of Ghana to stay off underage children.
“To any man thinking of marrying a child we have our eyes on you! #Roarrrrrr”, she captioned a post on Instagram.
This comes after she rescued a sixteen (16) year old Junior high school (JHS) girl in Funsi, the District capital of Wa East in the Upper West Region, from getting married to a 36-year-old farmer from Halimbogie.
In an interview, Wiyaala said the victim is a member of her “Boys and Girls Club”, a group she formed for the youth in Funsi.
According to Wiyaala, she called for the arrest of the suspect to serve as a warning and deterrent to other men who try to indulge in the act of forcefully marrying girls under the age of 18.
The renowned singer and entertainer cautioned that anyone attempting to marry off their little girl will face the full wrath of the law.
The UNICEF Ghana ambassador against child marriage, Wiyaala added that she wouldn’t have been where she is today, if she had been married off as a child bride.
