A group of residents at Accra-Newtown have taken to the streets to protest against a local establishment, Shiva Hotel, over allegations of the hosting of some underage girls.
The protesters claim that three underage girls were believed to have been lodging at the hotel and for which reason they were demanding action from the police and relevant authorities.
The protests, believed to have taken place outside the hotel, were fueled by allegations that Shiva Hotel has been allowing underage girls to stay on its premises.
This was captured in a post made by Sika Official on X.
In the post, which included a video, some residents, who were seen visibly upset, claimed that the hotel’s actions were destroying the lives of these young girls.
“They are destroying the lives of these girls. They are underage and are taking advantage of them,” some of the residents could be heard lamenting.
They also alleged that the hotel had collected monies from the girls and allocated them rooms.
“They have collected monies from underage girls and given them rooms. This is very bad and unlawful. If the police and authorities don’t stop them, they would involve more underage girls,” some other residents indicated.
The protesters, according to the post, are demanding that the hotel be shut down permanently.
