The Queen Mother of Adantia Traditional Area, who was visibly disturbed by this trend, attributed this worrying situation to the surge in Pragya riders in the community for the past year. The queen mother further stated that ''our school girls who are supposed to be in school are now mothers because of Pragya riders''. To the queen mother, ''the Pragya riders enticed these innocent school girls with money and consumable items such as indomie and fried rice''. A junior high school teacher at Adantia M/A JHS, narrated how school girls at the JHS continue to frequently absented themselves from school for which, some of them subsequently dropout from school in the end. In what seems to be a sharp contrast of the claim levelled against Pragya riders, Mr Emmanuel Asante, chairman of Pragya Riders Association, described the allegation to Ghanaweb as a ''mere accusation without any proof of evidence''.
