A Femboy identified as Sheriff from Damongo the Savannah Regional Capital has been arrested by Benkrom Community members after he disguised himself as a female to meet with his online male suitor Eshawu in Benkrom community in the Bono East Region.
Sheriff who traveled from Damongo in the West Gonja Municipality, was taken into custody early Sunday morning 31st August 2025 after community members raised concerns about his alleged involvement in male to male intimacy.
According to Hon. Osei Yohane who is the Assembly Member for the Nsuano/Benkrom Electoral Area in the Bono East Region, who spoke to Spear FM in Gonja Language, he was contacted around midnight on Sunday about the situation.
“I received a call around 12 midnight about this matter,” the Assembly Member told Spear FM. “The individual was brought to my residence, and I subsequently handed them over to police for proper investigation.”
The Assembly Member indicated the incident began when the suspect (Sheriff), presenting as female on social media platforms, connected with a male local resident of Benkrom by name Eshawu. The two allegedly developed an online relationship that led to arrangements for an in-person meeting.
Hon. Osei Yohane said the suspect (Sheriff) reportedly traveled to Benkrom on Saturday night, August 30, with transportation costs provided by the local resident (Eshawu) whom he had been communicating with online.
Hon. Osei Yohane added that, the deception was discovered later that night when Eshawu and Sheriff went to bed. Eshawu tried to have intimacy with Sheriff and discovered that Sheriff was a male and not female but Sheriff insisted that Eshawu could have an anal intimacy with him if he wouldn’t mind.
This led to a dispute that prompted community intervention.
Accounting to the Assembly Member, during questioning, Sheriff reportedly admitted to similar incidents in other locations and claimed to use social media platforms to arrange such meetings.
The suspect (Sheriff) has been handed over to Kadelso Police Station for investigation. Police have not yet announced formal charges, and the investigation remains ongoing.
The incident has prompted discussions within the Benkrom community about online safety and verification of digital communications. Local leaders are calling for calm while authorities conduct their investigation.
The Assembly Member emphasized that the matter is now in the hands of law enforcement for proper legal processing.
