We understand that the Overlord of the Waala Traditional Area didn’t order for such punishment to be meted out like it was earlier speculated.

The Wa Naa was absent upon their arrival, compelling the young men to take matters into their own hands and deliver the punishment.

They were given ten (10) strokes each.
