The Queen of the Ga-Adangme Muslim Union (Nungua West), Lawrencia Naa Borley Nelson, known as Naa Gamu, has lost her life after being shot during her enskinment ceremony in Nungua, Accra.

She had been declared the Queen of the Ga-Adangme Muslim Union (Nungua West), while her husband was simultaneously being enskinned as chief.

The fatal incident occurred on Saturday when a ceremonial musket fired, hitting her in the thigh. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear, but a suspect has been taken into custody as authorities carry out investigations.

Family members of the deceased have expressed doubts about the nature of the shooting, suspecting possible foul play.

Her uncle, Martison Quaye, shared his concerns in an interview with TV3, calling for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth and ensure justice is served.

“In such ceremonies, is it not gunpowder that is used? And isn’t the gun supposed to be fired into the sky? Why was she shot in the thigh?”.
