The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has assured the public that it is taking all reported cases of abuse seriously.
This follows several reports and videos circulating on social media highlighting alleged incidents of abuse involving children and vulnerable people.
In a statement, the Ministry said it values the public’s vigilance in drawing attention to these cases and encouraged citizens to continue reporting such incidents.
It noted that protecting the vulnerable requires collective effort from everyone.
According to the Ministry, some victims who have been identified are already receiving psychosocial and legal support. Others have been placed in safe shelters where necessary.
The Ministry added that it is working closely with the Police, civil society organisations, and other agencies to investigate all the reported cases and ensure those responsible are held accountable.
The Ministry stressed that “crime has no expiration,” and promised that updates will be provided periodically as investigations progress.
It further encouraged the public to report suspected cases of abuse to the Domestic Violence Call Centre, the Ministry’s Helpline of Hope, or to the nearest police station.

President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Libreville, Gabon, to participate in the inaugural Libreville International Forum for Innovation and Development, a high-level event that brings together Heads of State, government officials, global investors, and technology experts.
The forum, being held under the patronage of Mr Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, President of the Republic of Gabon, is on the theme “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”
The forum seeks to position Gabon as a regional innovation hub and key destination for international investment.
Organisers are holding the Forum to inaugurate the newly constructed Omar Bongo Ondimba Congress Centre, which also serves as the venue for the Forum and as a future centre for international dialogue.
The forum will culminate in the “Libreville Declaration,” which will showcase the strategic political leaders’ commitments to enhancing governance, transparency, and digital integration across the continent.
President Mahama remains a strong advocate for fostering partnerships that bridge the gap between government policy and private-sector growth to ensure inclusive development.
