The Tufuhene of Daboase in the Wassa East District of the Western Region, Nana Piabo IV has lamented the increase in teenage pregnancy in the Area.
According to him, preliminary checks conducted by the elders reveal that the ‘aboboyaa’ or ‘pragiya’ riders are the main culprits who are luring the young girls with indomie and other take-away food and sleeping with them carelessly.
“What is happening right now is that these Pragya and Aboboya riders are using Indomie to entice these vulnerable young girls and impregnating them. We have issued several warnings to these riders but still nothing is changing. We have deployed several struggles in an attempt to stop this trend but someway somehow the girls go to them.
“…it will interest you to know that these girls are aged between 13 to 16 years,” he revealed.
Nana Piabo IV explained that they have tried to enforce communal laws to curb the menace but have been unsuccessful.
