The Peace & Love Orphanage belonging to Maame Dokono has been closed down after an eight year old boy allegedly sodomised a six month old baby.
The Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the Police say the action was meant to protect the inmates of the orphanage.
Chief Inspector Irene Oppong, Public Relations Officer of DOVVSU told Joy News the orphanage was operating illegally.
According to her, the license of the orphanage expired in March 2006 and had since not been renewed.
Officials of DOVVSU on Thursday stormed the orphanage to invite Grace Omaboe for questioning, but a scuffle ensued in what Inspector Oppong said was triggered by insults from Ms Omaboe.
But this has been denied by the actor and gender activist.
Maame Dokono claimed attempts were made by the officials to forcibly arrest her even though she had informed them of her willingness to come to the office with her lawyer.
She suspects her ordeal is politically motivated.
Grace Omaboe popularly called Maame Dokono had been with the NDC but decided to cross carpet to the then ruling NPP which lost the last election.
She thinks the closure of the orphanage is an attempt to teach her a lesson.
Inspector Irene Oppong said her outfit has preferred charges of exposing child to harm against Maame Dokono as stipulated by the Children's Act.
This is because under the ACT, a person under 12 years cannot be charged with a criminal offence but rather the parent or guardian of the child.
