Maame Dokono harassed by police
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, Feb 6, Ghanadot - The Peace & Love Orphanage
belonging to Grace Omaboe, popularly known as Maame Dokono
has been closed down after an eight year old boy allegedly sodomised a six month old baby.
The Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of
the Police explained that the action was meant to protect
the inmates of the orphanage.
Public Relations Officer of DOVVSU, Chief Inspector Irene
Oppong, told Ghanadot that the orphanage was operating
illegally. She disclosed that, the license of the orphanage
expired in March 2006 and had since not been renewed.
DOVVSU Officials stormed the orphanage yesterday to invite
Grace Omaboe for questioning, but a fracas resulted in what
Inspector Oppong said was generated by insults from Maame
Dokono.
Maame Dokono claimed attempts were made by the officials to
forcibly arrest her even though she had informed them of her
willingness to come to the office with her lawyer.
To her, because she was with the NDC and decided to defect
to NPP which lost the last year election, the current
government wants to use the power to unlawfully mistreat
her. She believes the closure of the orphanage is an attempt
to teach her a lesson.
Inspector Irene Oppong said her outfit has preferred charges
of exposing child to harm against Maame Dokono as stipulated
by the Children's Act.
This is because under the Act, a person under 12 years
cannot be charged with a criminal offence but rather the
parent or guardian of the child.
She denied claims by Ms Omaboe that her ordeal was
politically motivated, adding that they are just doing their
job to protect the children in the country.

Thinking Chinese food for dinner?
Feature, Feb 5, Ghanadot - I am not sure about
the real origin of operators of Chinese restaurants in
Ghana. But I would assume that they are not real Chinese
because of the cost for this culinary service in Ghana.
Real Chinese are thrifty and economically sensitive
people. They will not allow this outrageous pricing of
Chinese food, such as happens in Ghana, to occur on main
land China........ ..More |
