“Someone called to say his beard was on fire” – Fire officer cries out over bizarre prank calls

An officer of the Ghana National Fire Service has recounted some bizarre prank calls received at the fire service’s call centre.

According to the Officer, in some instances someone called saying is beard was on fire, another called insulting the officers for playing dame.

 Speaking to the media, the fire officer stated, “Someone calls you and says his beard is burning, so come help him quench it; some even call us, insulting us. We get a lot of prank calls from the public, and we are advising the public against it”.

Some Ghanaians, reacting to the fire officer’s remarks, stated, “Just denying people who need them urgently to douse their fire the opportunity to be attended to on time. We’ll be the same people to complain they don’t arrive at fire scenes on time”.

“That’s why you’re getting paid. Still not enough to explain why you go to fore scenes with no water. Making excuses is zero sense”, a netizen added.

“I think it’s about time that we make a law to fine those who make these prank calls. These people are dealing with lives and properties. Don’t take anything for granted”, one X user added.

Meanwhile, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has announced a significant decline in prank calls.

The GNFS in the first quarter of 2025 recorded a 31.52% drop from the same period last year.

Desmond E. Ackah, the Head of Public Relations, Divisional Officer II, highlighted that in January and March 2025, they received 131,862 prank calls, a decline from the 192,545 calls logged within the same timeframe in 2024.

He attributed the progress to intensified and sustained public education.

“Prank calls seriously undermine emergency response by wasting critical resources and delaying real interventions,” the statement noted.

“Such acts pose significant risks to lives and property and are punishable under Ghanaian law.”

Also, in an interview on Channel One TV on Friday, May 9, 2025, ADO 1 Adzokpa described the frequent abuse of emergency hotlines as troubling.

“When someone with a genuine emergency can’t get through on 112 or 192 because the line is tied up by a prank, lives are put at risk,” he explained.

He assured, “The moment you call these numbers, someone will respond and ensure help reaches you”.

“A gov’t that cannot take care of it, 189 MPs cannot provide jobs for the youth” – Afenyo-Markin

Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has slammed the NDC-led government over its failure to cater for its Members of Parliament.

The minority leader stressed that the NDC government, which cannot take care of it 189 MPs, cannot provide jobs for the youths.

He criticised the Majority Caucus leadership for failing to improve members’ welfare.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the NDC promised to create a three-shift system but has failed to deliver.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, December 18, 2025, he stated, “They also said they were going to create one job with three shifts. A government that cannot take care of the many jobless youth who are looking for jobs, a government that cannot take care of its 189 members in this chamber”.

“The backbenchers in this House are suffering, and you say you are going to create jobs. When your members have been rendered redundant and cannot go back to their constituencies, you say you are going to create jobs,” he stated.

He added, “The Majority should take care of its own backbenchers; they are your MPs. It is not enough to come here with 189 MPs, and you cannot take care of them”.

“The minister for public sector reforms has been rendered redundant and jobless. She is just at the Jubilee House. The minister in charge of special initiatives is also just there doing nothing, and he is being paid salaries doing nothing.

“…They said they were only going to appoint 60 ministers, but there are many other government appointees,” he added.

Afenyo-Markin added, “Some (NDC MPs) are coming to back bench in Uber and in a taxi. Mr Speaker, your Majority should take care of your back bench,” he noted.

“What Adongo needs is a job. He is always on the floor attacking the Minority, yet he is jobless,” he added.

Additionally, Afenyo-Markin fired shots at the NDC-led government over its failure to provide clarity on its flagship 24-Hour Economy policy.

The Minority leader noted that despite the campaign promises that the 24-Hour Economy policy would create massive employment opportunities for Ghanaians, the 2026 budget failed to mention it.

Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minister for Finance, presenting the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy in Parliament, revealed that the government is targeting total revenue and grants of GH¢268.1 billion for 2026.

He further revealed that the government aims to create up to 800,000 new jobs across various sectors.

The Finance Minister also highlighted that GH¢110 million has been allocated in the 2026 budget for the implementation of the 24-Hour Economy Programme.

Afenyo-Markin, speaking shortly after the Minister for Finance’s budget statement, quizzed the Mahama government on where the one job running three shifts is.

According to Afenyo-Markin, Ghanaian youths are asking for the NDC’s promised one job running three shifts to provide three jobs.

Speaking on the floor of parliament, Afenyo-Markin stated, “When Ghanaians voted for the NDC, they said they were bringing them jobs. They said they would do this through their flagship 24-Hour Economy — one job running three shifts to provide three jobs.

“Go to Ga Mashie and other places; the youth there are asking where the jobs are or the 24-Hour Economy. But the budget didn’t even mention it. Yet you have MPs singing about a policy they cannot even see”, he added.

Watch Alex Tetteh sacrifice a sheep; invoke curses on Atta Akyea and Abronye

Alex Tetteh, a member of the  Kennedy Agyapong team, has sacrificed a sheep, invoking curses on former Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea.

 Speaking while pouring libation with bottles of schnapps, Alex Tetteh stated that if Atta Akyea was deliberately denying a meeting, there should be spiritual consequences.

He added that if Agyapong’s account of the Heathrow encounter was true and Atta Akyea was refuting it to tarnish the flagbearer hopeful’s reputation, then the invoked curses should take effect on him and those around him.

Alex Tetteh then slaughtered a sheep as part of the ritual.

He also added that anyone who sits on TV and lie particular things being said on Wontumi TV and by Abronye should also be dealt with.

This follows the back and forth between Kennedy Agyapong and Atta Akyea over the former’s claim that the latter used filthy words against Akufo-Addo when they met at Heathrow Airport.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, Atta-Akyea insulted Akufo-Addo and told him that Akufo-Addo was not fit to be president.

Speaking on Skyy FM, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “Atta-Akyea, I could have responded to him, but I am not going to respond to him because, even President Akufo-Addo, he insulted him. he told me at Heathrow Airport that he is not fit to be president at that time Akufo-Addo won.

So, I was surprised when Akufo-Addo appointed him as minister; he accepted it, before I would have replied to him. The filthy words he says when I go to the UN…”

Kennedy Agyapong reiterated, “The filthy words he used to describe Akufo-Addo at the London Heathrow Airport were scary. So if he can criticise someone coming from his own hometown, when he does it to me, I am nobody, so I am not going to respond. But he should remember the things he told me at Heathrow Airport, it was so nasty.

If I had told Akufo-Addo, he would never have made him a minister, but I was quiet; I am not responding to anybody, I am just staying focused. These are distractions because they do not have a message, so they go about saying Kennedy Agyapong is not presidential material”.

Atta Akyea, in response to the statement, stated he has never met Kennedy Agyapong at Heathrow Airport, nor have I ever insulted Akufo-Addo to him.

He further described the claims by Kennedy Agyapong as completely false.

Atta Akyea on UTV stated, “I have never met Kennedy Agyapong at Heathrow Airport, nor have I ever insulted Akufo-Addo to him. These claims are completely false”.

Meanwhile, the campaign team of Kennedy Agyapong has dissociated itself from Alex Tetteh following his viral video.

Parts of the statement read, “The Campaign wishes to state unequivocally that Mr Tetteh is not an official member, representative, or spokesperson of the Campaign, as such any statements or conduct attributed to him are strictly personal and do not reflect the values, principles, or position of the Campaign or our Candidate”.

“Supporters are reminded to conduct themselves in accordance with Party rules, the laws of Ghana, and the ethical standards of our society, which align with the core principles of our candidate,” it added.

Sedina Tamakloe’s extradition process from the US is complete – AG Ayine

The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has announced that the extradition process against former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is done.

Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, addressing the country during the Government Accountability Series on Thursday, December 18, 2025, stated, “I did indicate to Parliament that in July 2025, a formal request for her extradition was put in by my predecessors, in other words, by my office. The American authorities have worked on her extradition. The extradition proceedings have taken place in the US, and we’re expecting that barring any appeal by her lawyers, she may be very soon extradited to Ghana to serve her prison term”.

“I don’t have any definitive information on when she will be extradited, but the Americans have indicated that they’ve completed the process,” he said.

Earlier, the Attorney General had revealed that the Ghanaian government had formally applied to American authorities for the extradition of former MASLOC CEO, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu.

According to the Attorney General, the government of Ghana wants Sedina Tamakloe to serve her 10-year jail term in Ghana.

Sedina Tamakloe Attionu has been sentenced to 10 years in prison by a High Court in Accra.

The former MASLOC CEO was sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard labour for causing financial loss of GH¢90 million to the state in April 2024.

In 2019, the case began; however, during the course of the trial, Sedina Tamakloe travelled to the United States to seek medical attention.

Sedina Tamakloe was tried in absentia after failing to return to Ghana.

A former Chief Operating Officer of MASLOC, Daniel Axim, was also sentenced to five years in prison with hard labour.

Sedina Tamakloe and Daniel Axim were found guilty on 78 counts of causing financial loss to the state, stealing, conspiracy to steal, money laundering, and causing loss to public property in violation of public procurement law.

Meanwhile, Prophet Kofi Oduro, the founder of the Alabaster International Ministry, has called out authorities on when Ghana’s criminals are coming home to serve jail terms.

The man of God particularly pointed fingers towards the former MASLOC CEO, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, who has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by the High Court.

According to Prophet Oduro, it is an indictment of the sovereignty of Ghana that Americans can see criminals operating in our system but we can’t.

Speaking to his congregants, Prophet Kofi Oduro stated, “America has a system of bringing criminals to book; they can put people on a plane, go to another country, and arrest people who have perpetrated stuff against the American people. We are here, we cannot bring criminals to the law court, has the woman which the court sentenced to Nsawam, who is still abroad, how far?

EOCO, you have done a good job. You were part of this cybercrime arrest that went on. When are Ghana’s criminals coming home? To go and serve jail terms at Nsawam.

Isn’t it an indictment of the sovereignty of this Nation that other nationals can come here and see criminals operating in our system, and our people can’t see it? This boy took almost $8 million from a romance scam”.

“Mahama gov’t a promise and fail government” – Afenyo-Markin

Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has labelled the John Mahama-led NDC government as a promise and fail government.

The minority slammed the NDC government over its failure to cater for its Members of Parliament.

“GH¢1bn Bawku revitalisation smells of pure crony capitalism dressed as conflict resolution” – Martin Amidu

Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has said the One Billion Ghana Cedi (GHS 1,000,000,000) Bawku Revitalisation Fund smells of pure crony capitalism dressed as conflict resolution.

According to him, the revitalisation fund raised concerns about the use of state funds for conflict management, adding that it could become a tool for corruption, which may not be used effectively for its purpose.

In his criticism of the government, Martin Amidu wrote, “The composition of the management of the ‘One Billion Ghana Cedis (GHS1,000,000,000) Bawku Revitalisation Fund’ and the high-level Committee Chaired by The Minister for Finance, …, who also serves as the Acting Minister for Defence;… with the Upper East Regional Minister, and the Majority Leader who is the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central demonstrates how ineffective the utilization of the funds will be as it will be informed more by electoral politics than a reconciling and united national endeavour. It also smells of pure crony capitalism dressed as conflict resolution,” he noted.

He warned that “sycophancy and stomach politics will destroy and not help the legacy of President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during this tenure of his government. The 1992 Constitution demands at all times a government of laws, and not of men.”

He further described the presentation of the Asantehene’s Mediation Report at Jubilee House as a gargantuan political scam by the government on the Bawku Conflict to justify the needless deaths between 7 January 2025 and 16 December 2025.

Mr Amidu wrote, “… In the absence of the government stating the legal basis of the Asantehene’s Mediation Report, I dare say that the concluding circus enacted and performed at the Jubilee House on 16 December 2025 and the Government of Ghana Statement on the Bawku Conflict Mediation Report of 17 October 2025 which have no constitutional or legal basis appears as a gargantuan political scam by the government on the Bawku Conflict to justify the needless deaths between 7 January 2025 and 16 December 2025 which in my estimation exceeds those of the past eight years under the previous regime”.

“The Asantehene’s mediation whether pursuant to Nana Akufo-Addo’s request or President Mahama’s request is not a customary mediation under Asante tradition and customary law because the Bawku-Naba and the Nayiri are not subjects of the Asante Stool or residents of Asante to bring them under its customs.

“The Bawku-Naba and the Nayiri are Supreme Customary Rulers of their respective exclusive traditional areas in their own right for which reason the 1992 Constitution and the Chieftaincy Act provides for how disputes between them may be resolved and appealed against,” he argued.

Meanwhile, the government of Ghana, led by President John Dramani Mahama, has approved the Bawku mediation report by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

In an official statement released by Spokesperson to the President, Felix Kwakye Ofosu stated that the government has accepted all recommendations in the report.

According to the statement, the report provides a comprehensive, fact-based, and forward-looking roadmap.

President Mahama has also directed the establishment of a One Billion Ghana Cedi (GHS 1,000,000,000) Bawku Revitalisation Fund.

The fund is expected to be disbursed from 2026 to 2028 and aims to rebuild critical infrastructure to restore Bawku as an economic hub in Northern Ghana.

Parts of the statement read, “The report constitutes a comprehensive, fact-based, and forward-looking roadmap aimed exclusively at achieving lasting peace, reconciliation, and stability in Bawku and its surrounding areas. It is not intended to apportion blame or confer victory on any party.

“In particular, the government affirms the unequivocal position of the law, as consistently upheld by the Supreme Court of Ghana, that Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II is the lawful Bawku Naaba, and that no individual or group is permitted, under any circumstances, to contest his authority or legitimacy”.

“Government accepts the recommendation that Alhaj Seidu Abagare, who was installed as a rival claimant to the Bawku chieftaincy, be recalled to Nalerigu by the Overlord of Mamprugu, the Nayiri, to assume an alternative traditional role, with the necessary facilitation and support of the State.

“Pursuant to this recommendation by His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the government will immediately facilitate the safe movement of Alhaj Seidu Abagare to Nalerigu, where he shall remain available to receive the directives of the Nayiri.”

Three people have been arrested for impersonating the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and other prominent personalities.

The three were arrested in the Dabala and Sogakope areas of the Volta Region.

They were arrested by the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team following an intelligence-led operation covering Sogakope, Dzodzent, and Penyi areas.

The suspect has been identified as Gideon Awudi (25), Edem Soku (33), and Judith Soku (31).

The three impersonators are also suspected of engaging in mobile money fraud, credit card fraud, airtime scams, and online sales fraud across various social media platforms.

All three suspects are currently in custody and assisting authorities with ongoing investigations.

She detailed GH¢1,266,770 in Ghana cedis, 100,000 CFA francs, 3,383,570 Nigerian naira (including 1,266,770 naira held as e-cash on a Moneypoint machine), and $5,105 were recovered.

 “All cash exhibits have been secured and will be forwarded to the Bank of Ghana for safekeeping as investigations continue, after which the suspects will be charged and put before the court”, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor added.

According to her, the nationwide exercise began in August 2025. “In all, a total of 90 suspects have so far been arrested… Out of this number, 13 have been charged and brought before the Accra Circuit Court.”

“It is a lie that Ken Agyapong claim that he bought me a house at AU Village” – Atta Akyea

Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, has said it is a lie that Ken Agyapong claim that he bought me a house at AU Village.

According to Atta Akyea, he can put his hand on a bible and say he does not owe any property at the AU village.

Speaking on UTV Ghana, Atta Akyea stated, “I, Atta Akyea, what aid has he provided to me? Do I beg before I eat? Do I look like them? You are breaching the Ninth Commandment. Ken Ohene Agyapong will take out his $500,000 to buy a property for me, Atta Akyea.

It’s a disgrace for Kennedy Agyapong, where is his title deed for the house he claimed he bought for me? Where is the house? And that I have leased the house to the Okyenehene, taking $4000. It’s a lie, I don’t know what he is talking about. Where is the house?”

He added, “What is he going to fire? Did he show you proof of anything he bought with the name change to mine? I put my hand on a bible and say I don’t have any property at the AU village, and the Osagyefo is not dead; you can ask him if I have ever leased a house to him for $4000”.   

His comments follow, Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful, who has said he bought a house for Samuel Atta Akyea.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, he bought a house for Atta Akyea worth $500,000, but he rented it out to the Okyenhene, pocketing $4000.

The former Assin Central MP also added that he recently gave Atta Akyea $50,000 for him to acquire the office, which he was renting.

Speaking on UTV, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “I am not going to respond to anyone; they should all speak, but if I decide to fire, they will run away from the evidence I will produce. I just don’t talk.

I will give you evidence. With Atta Akyea, when I said Heathrow Airport…, he said I don’t understand English, someone who does not understand English. I was able to buy a house worth $500,000 during Kufuor’s time at the AU village and gifted it to him”.

He added, “He was taking rent from the Okyenhene and was paying $4000 to you. Where is your wisdom, if someone who does not understand English can buy a house and gift it to you?

When he was hiring his office, when they decided to sell it to him, I gave him $50,000, I left it to fate. Everyone should say theirs. For now, I am not hard; at an appropriate time, I know everything about them”.

Some netizens reacting stated, “One thing I know for a fact about Ken is he doesn’t lie about things, when he does something for you, and you turn around against him, he will come out and expose you.. It’s either Atta Akyea is ashamed to admit Ken got him a house, and today he is ungrateful”.

“You all should pay attention to the video very well, he didn’t mention Lawyer Atta Akyes’ name about the house…After the airport, that’s side is for the lawyer, and he comes again and says, you said I can’t speak good English, but I bought you a house he’s not referring to him….”

“The gods in Nogokpo are powerless” – Bishop Bonegas declares

Bishop Bonegas, the Founder of Great Fire Pentecostal International church, has declared that the gods in Nogokpo are powerless.

Speaking on Aluta FM, Bishop Bonegas slammed the Nogokpo shrine for just wanting to be popular regarding their issue with Archbishop Agyinasare.

Bishop Bonegas boldly stated, “Some time ago, Nogokpo threw a challenge to Archbishop Agyinasare, saying he spoke against their gods and must come and seek mercy. The Nogokpo people do not have pala, not even a bird tongue; they don’t have any, even powerder they don’t have some.

When Okomfo Anokye cursed the people of Akuapim, did it work or not? All the places he stepped foot in and the things he said about 100 years ago are still happening”.

He added, “Do you know of the god called Tigali in the olden days, when are evil it attack you at home? If it is true that Nogokpo is powerful, and someone has spoken against it, why won’t they deal with the man of God unless they make an announcement? They just wanted to be popolar they don’t have anything”.

He further recounted how he paralysed and ended the life of another man of God.

Bishop Bonegas, however, did not disclose the name of the said pastor, noting that the individual tarnished his reputation.

According to Bonegas, the pastor went on numerous radio and television platforms to claimed he was paralysed and dead.

He added, “We were in this country when a pastor disgraced me, which even affected my churches in America and South Africa. He really tarnished my image. He claimed that he had prayed for me to be paralysed or even dead.

“He even went on radio and television stations. I eventually gave him the same sickness he claimed he had inflicted on me. He claimed he had killed me, so I ended up killing him”, he said.

Bishop Bonegas added, “I don’t fight on social media or on the radio. If you do something to hurt me, I will call your soul and do whatever I want with you. So there is no reason for me to come on social media to fight you.

“Any pastor who comes on the radio or social media to fight is powerless”, he added.

Some netizens reacting to his comments stated, “If you know why Voltarians who became Christians hold God very tight and stay disciplined u won’t speak anywhere. People who left these things will never tell you it doesn’t work. When they preach the Gospel, they don’t talk trash abt it, they only  preach the benefit of having Christ over it”

“He should keep playing mmmmm. I’m from the Volta region, and I’m still in the Volta region. What I can tell him is, he should just shut his mouth asap mmmm”, he added.

One X user added, “You guys are not getting him. He’s talking of their spiritual strengths. Tikare would have struck without negotiation. Same with the story he gave about Okomfo Anokye.

The “dark” spirits get demma levels,  but ppl dey hype nogokpo,  thar be why he said, they should’ve struck”

President Trump suspends Diversity Visa Lottery

The United States government, led by President Donald Trump, has suspended the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery, popularly known in Ghana as the “green card lottery”.

The suspension follows the deadly mass shooting at Brown University that claimed two lives.

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the decision, which was ordered by President Donald Trump to review the programme and prevent further threats to public safety.

President Trump, in his first term, attempted to end the programme citing security concerns, especially after earlier violent incidents involving beneficiaries of the scheme.

Although the US authorities say the suspension is temporary, no timeline has been given for when or if the Diversity Visa Lottery will resume.

The DV programme makes up to 50,000 visas available each year through a random selection process among entries from countries with low rates of immigration to the US.

Applicants in Ghana and other countries are uncertain about the future of the programme. Ghanaians are among the countries whose citizens have benefited significantly from the programme over the years.

The suspension has sparked concern among many Ghanaians, particularly young people and families who see the lottery as their ticket to go live in the United States.

The BBC stated, “President Donald Trump has suspended the US green card lottery scheme in the wake of a mass shooting at Brown University last week in which two people were killed.

The suspect, a Portuguese man who was found dead on Thursday, entered the country through the diversity lottery immigrant visa programme (DV1) in 2017 and was granted a green card.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she has paused the visa scheme under Trump’s direction to “ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous programme”.

US officials said they believe the suspect, 48-year-old Claudio Neves Valente, also killed Portuguese Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno Loureiro earlier this week.

Writing on social media, Noem said Trump had previously “fought to end” the scheme in 2017 after eight people were killed in a truck-ramming attack in New York City.

Uzbekistan national Sayfullo Saipov, an Islamic State supporter who is serving multiple life sentences for the attack, entered the US through the DV1 scheme, according to Noem”.

“You have taken GH¢4b, so you don’t want to talk” – Afenyo-Markin jabs Muntaka

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, has jabbed the Minister of Interior, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, in Parliament over the allocation of additional GH¢4 billion to his office.

On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, during the proceedings of the Committee on Security and Intelligence on the 2026 Annual Budget Estimates of the National Security Council, the minority leader questioned the process and timing surrounding the presentation.

He stressed that the minority was not given prior notice nor supplied with copies of what he described as a newly printed “addendum”.

According to Afenyo-Markin, such actions undermined consultation and parliamentary procedure, principles.

He asserted that the Interior Minister himself had previously championed while in opposition, but today is quiet because he has been given a  GH¢4 billion allocation to his office for additional responsibility for national security matters.

“When the Minister of Interior, with additional responsibility for national security, entered the chamber, he came with all his might. Suddenly, another paper was printed and brought in. We have not been given copies,” he stated.

“Mr Speaker, the amount in the report … when you cannot provide for Women’s bank…I was only signalling them that the amount that they have given to the Minister of Interior with additional responsibility…. Mr Speaker, he is not paying attention to me, with all the provocation, he has decided not to respond; he has to respond.

He added, “Mr Speaker, he can’t be quiet today, honourable Muntaka is not known for being quiet, he can’t be quiet today. Honourable is not known for being quiet. You have taken 4 billion so you’re quiet. Money does not like noise … your mouth is full, so you don’t want to talk”.

“These things must stop. If you want to run a one-sided Parliament, say so, and the civil society organisations will come after you,” he cautioned.

Bernard Ahiafor, who was the presiding speaker, intervened at several points, citing that the report had not yet been formally laid and cautioning members against debating.

However, the Chairman of the Committee on Security and Intelligence later presented the report on the 2026 National Security Council budget estimates.

The Speaker then announced it and laid it, and made it available for distribution to Members of Parliament.

In related news, Kennedy Agyapong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, has publicly told the Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, to step down as minority leader.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, there is internal jostling to oust Afenyo-Markin as minority leader.

He revealed that some persons within the NPP believe the Minority Leader should come from the Eastern Region or the Ashanti Region.

Kennedy Agyapong further added that he has already told the minority leader to leave the position for them.

Speaking in an interview on UTV on December 15, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “He is well-to-do, so he should leave the position for those who are fighting him”.

“Those criticising Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s leadership want positions. Some people are arguing that the Minority Leader should come from the Eastern Region or the Ashanti Region. I have told him to leave the position for them, and I have personally called him to tell him to step aside.”

“If it were in the olden days, I would have mentioned all those seeking his position’s names, but now I won’t. He can eat for the rest of his life, and it shouldn’t look like being an MP is the only way to survive,” Agyapong stated.

“Abu Trica used his brain to get money from ‘white man’, he has not committed any offence” – Paul Yandoh

Paul Kwabena Yandoh, the Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has slammed the NDC government for aiding in the arrest of Abu Trica.

The NPP man explained that the government has failed to bring back some prominent Ghanaians abroad to face justice, but was eager to arrest Abu Trica.

Paul Yandoh quizzed Sam George’s role in the issue, firing him over his failure to reduce data prices as promised.

Speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV, Paul Yandoh explained, “Why are we so interested in bringing a Ghanaian down? I wouldn’t have spoken on this issue, but I am annoyed by what Sam George said, that we are left with three people to arrest. Who sent him for that job?”

“He promised to reduce data prices, but today, data prices are still high. Yet that is not his focus. He is rather focused on arresting Ghanaians for the white man who is in his own country,” Yandoh said.

“Our own people who have stolen our money, have they been able to extradite them back to the country?” he asked.

He quizzed, “They are interested in arresting Abu Trica. Has he broken into someone’s house to steal? Someone who has used his brain to collect money from a white man, is that an offence? Is the government’s money missing?”

He added, “He lives in Swedru and has been able to collect money from a white man. Which offence is that? He has not committed any offence. This is the same thing they wanted to do to Shatta Wale. Why do they always want to bring down the Ghanaian people?” he asked.

“The last time Otumfuo was speaking, he said the gold looted during the Sagrenti War is now being returned by the white man,” he added.

Meanwhile, Sam Nartey George, the Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation, has replied to critics accusing him of going after fraud boys at the expense of the job he was tasked to do in government.

According to Sam George, Ghana will continue to be blacklisted as long as fraud persists.

He highlighted that Ghanaians want PayPal also want TikTok, and Meta to monetise, but that will not happen when fraud continues to thrive in Ghana.

Sam George further revealed that the persistent fraud was the key reason PayPal exited Ghana several years ago.

Speaking to the media at the Ningo-Prampram Education Directorate during the Teachers Awards and Retirees Send-Off, Sam George stated, “I have seen a number of comments on social media saying, this is not what we voted for you for. You’re going after the fraud boys, leave them alone. You’re not creating jobs”.

“Yet those same people are asking me to get PayPal to monetise, get TikTok to monetise, and get Meta to monetise. Well, Ghana will continue to be blacklisted as long as fraud persists,” he said.

Sam George further revealed that the persistent fraud was the key reason PayPal exited Ghana several years ago.

He added, “The reason PayPal left Ghana is because of fraud. When a few people deprive the majority who are doing legitimate work on social media and creating content, it affects everyone. The reason you cannot monetise and get value for your craft is that some individuals have chosen to give Ghana a bad name. We will take action”.

According to Sam George, the FBI  did not make a request today, adding that the FBI request was pending before he became minister.

He alleged that in the past government, certain individuals leaked vital information to cybercrime targets.

Sam George continued, “Let this be clear, this action on clamping down on cyber fraud didn’t start today, the FBI did not make a request today, it was pending before I became minister. But in the past, people were leaking information to the targets and helping them evade arrest. I made a commitment when I became a minister that anything we would do to clean up Ghana internationally, we will, as we clamp down on cybercrime, make our case stronger as we talk to the platforms to monetise. The accusation that there are no jobs, then should we say we should not arrest armed robbers aswell, everybody will have a reason for crime.

“As we intensify the fight against cybercrime, it helps us present Ghana as a peaceful and safe destination where illicit flows will not pass. That is what gives platforms like TikTok and Meta the confidence to engage with us on monetisation,” he added.

“They brought fake bank guarantees” – Napo explain PDS failure

Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the 2024 running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and a former Energy Minister, has explained why the Power Distribution Services Ghana Limited (PDS) concession agreement failed.

Napo, as he is commonly referred to, revealed that the Power Distribution Services Ghana Limited (PDS) brought fake bank guarantees in the deal.

Speaking on GHOne TV, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh explained, “PDS did not effectualise did not make effective to their contracts; I was not the minister, but what I came to know, what I came to see, which has been shared as proof, was that the guarantees PDS brought were fake.

They went to the Court of Arbitration and lost. It shows you that the government was right to intervene at the time it did. If you have come to marry my daughter and I found out that the dowries you brought are fake, to take my daughter’s hand wont I come and take my daughter?”  

It will be recalled that the then Akufo-Addo government, through the ECG, suspended and later terminated the concession agreement following the emergence that the payment guarantees provided by PDS were fraudulent.

PDS, following the termination, sued ECG, accusing Ghana’s power distributor of wrongfully cancelling the contract.

They asked the international arbitration tribunal to declare that the termination of the concession agreement was illegal, and also asked the tribunal to award it a judgment debt of nearly $390 million, including direct costs of about US$39.4 million, and alleged lost profits of US$351.5 million.

However, the ECG, through its lawyers, maintained that the termination of the agreement was fully vindicated and in the interest of Ghana.

The lawyer for ECG added that PDS failed to exercise due diligence in verifying the authenticity of the payment guarantees, an omission that fundamentally undermined the concession.

The international arbitration tribunal then ruled in favour of Ghana’s power distributor ECG.

The international arbitration tribunal cited that the fraudulent guarantees justified its termination of the concession agreement.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has said that the Power Distribution Services (PDS) concession arrangement failed because of mismanagement and the pursuit of personal interests.

He noted that the PDS was an initiative to bring private-sector efficiency into the country’s electricity distribution system, but collapsed due to personal interests.

Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for the Multi-purpose Solar Energy Project at the Dawa Industrial Park in Agotor on Thursday, November 6, Mahama stated, “I know that there was an attempt to involve the private sector in power utility and distribution. We all remember the example with PDS. PDS was not a bad thing; it was just handled wrongly, and many people had personal interests in it. That’s why it failed. But there is something to be said for injecting private-sector efficiency into public utilities”.

“I want to marry Odo Broni, she is exceptionally beautiful” – Former MP

Kojo Adu Asare, a former Member of Parliament for Adenta, has publicly expressed interest in marrying Odo Broni, the widow of the late Daddy Lumba.

According to Kojo Adu Asare, Odo Broni is a very beautiful woman, adding that he would be interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with her.

The former MP highlighted that he is currently unmarried and would only consider marriage after she completes her traditional widowhood rites.

He added that if Odo Broni decides to get into another relationship after her traditional rites he would be a suitable candidate.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on December 17, 2025, Kojo Asare stated, “Odo Broni is an exceptionally beautiful woman. I admire her, especially her calm and gentle nature. I feel drawn to her and would like to pursue a meaningful relationship with her after she completes her widowhood rites”.

He, however, disclosed that his desire to marry Odo Broni is to assist her in raising her six children and contribute.

“It’s not about marrying her to have children together; rather, I want to help raise her six children and also preserve Daddy Lumba’s legacy,” he stated.

Kojo Adu Asare also criticised those who have attacked Odo Broni amid her public disagreement with Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa.

He added that the insults directed at Odo Broni were unfair.

The Kumasi High Court had earlier declared Akosua Serwaah Fosuh and Priscilla Ofori, popularly known as Odo Broni, as the surviving spouses of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba.

The court presided over by Justice Dorinda Smith‑Arthur ruled that Akosua Serwaa cannot be declared the sole surviving spouse, as the evidence she provided did not affirm her claims.

During proceedings on Friday, November 28, evidence showed Odo Broni was customarily married to Daddy Lumba before his passing.

The court also highlighted that Akosua Serwaa was customarily married to Daddy Lumba, but rejected her alleged German marriage certificate presented as it was not an original certificate.

The court ruled that both Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni are recognised as surviving wives of Daddy Lumba and must be acknowledged by the Abusuapanyin in the performance of the widowhood rites.

 The plaintiff, Akosua Serwaa Fosu, was seeking a court declaration that she is the only surviving wife of the late musician, allowing her to have exclusive authority to carry out all widowhood rituals.

She was also demanding that the court restrain Odo Broni from falsely claiming to be the late singer’s wife.

Meanwhile, Daddy Lumba died at the Bank Hospital in Cantonments on July 26, 2025, following an illness.

His final funeral rites were held on December 13, 2025, at Heroes Park in Kumasi, after months of back and forth between his family members.

The late music icon’s funeral was attended by Daddy Lumba’s children, his younger sister Faustina Fosu, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, and his second wife, Odo Broni, who were there to pay their last respects.

However, Akosua Serwaa, the first wife and his elder sister, Ernestina Fosu, close associate Papa Shee, and some family members were absent after their failed attempt to secure an injunction against the funeral, amid an ongoing dispute over the burial arrangements.

Several prominent figures, including Nana Acheampong, Dr Osei Kwame Despite, Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong, Kennedy Agyapong (Kenpong), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, and Dr Frank Amoakohene, also attended the burial.

@asempa_fm

In fact, Odo Broni is an exceptionally beautiful woman. I admire everything about her, especially her calm and gentle character. My heart is deeply drawn to her, and I wish to pursue a loving relationship with her after she has completed the kuna rites. Kojo Adu Asare expresses his sincere feelings of love for her. #Ekosiisen

EOCO exceeds 2025 recoveries target, GH¢337.4m retrieved so far – AG details

Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has announced that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has exceeded its 2025 recovery target.

The Attorney General highlighted that EOCO exceeded its 2025 recovery target by over GH¢133.4 million.

According to the Attorney General, EOCO recoveries currently stand at GH¢337.4 million, which is the highest in the agency’s history.

Speaking during the Government’s Accountability Series on Thursday, December 18, 2025, Dr Ayine stated, “Now, in terms of recoveries, the Economic and Organised Crime Office has exceeded the 2025 target, which was set at GH¢200 million. Recoveries currently stand at GH¢337.4 million. This figure means that it has exceeded its 2025 recovery by over GH¢133.4 million”.

“This is the highest recovery in the history of the agency. The recovery represents completed cases of both direct and indirect recoveries. Direct recoveries are recoveries that are deposited directly into the exhibit account of the office. This currently stands at about GH¢194 million.

“Indirect recoveries, on the other hand, are recoveries that are paid directly to either GRA or the consolidated fund. This amount stands at GH¢142.6 million. The success story of the Economic and Organised Crime Office shows that institutions matter, but institutional leadership is crucial,” he added.

Also, the Attorney General revealed his office has concluded investigations into another high-profile corruption case.

“We have another announcement to make on Monday involving some high-profile, politically-exposed persons that got themselves involved in certain criminal activities,” he said.

Additionally, the Attorney General revealed, Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has frozen and recovered virtual assets worth US$15.19 million.

The AG revealed the frozen and recovered virtual assets worth US$15.19 million that were hidden in foreign jurisdictions.

“… EOCO successfully used our local laws to freeze and recover virtual assets hidden in foreign jurisdictions. As a result, on November 19, 2025, Zodiac Custody successfully converted the said crypto assets of the criminal enterprise and paid same to EOCO’s exhibit account in the amount of 15,191,730 USD and 13 cents,” he said.

“The criminal enterprise targeted our citizens, defrauded them, and laundered the criminal proceeds into cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, USDT, and Ethereum in an attempt to further hide the proceeds from the reach of Ghana’s law enforcement.

“With this recovery, millions of funds which were looted out of the country have been successfully returned to our motherland,” he added.

“I’ll win; nothing will change it” – Bryan Acheampong brags ahead of NPP primaries

Dr Bryan Acheampong, an aspiring New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has confidently stated he will win the party’s presidential election and nothing can change it.

The NPP flagbearer aspirant dismissed polls by Global InfoAnalytics ahead of the party’s presidential election.

According to Bryan Acheampong, his team’s own internal profiling shows he is far ahead in the race for the party’s presidential slot.

He revealed his campaign team has profiled 190,000 delegates out of the 209,000, showing he is far ahead in the flagbearer race.

Speaking on PM Express on Tuesday, the Abetifi MP stated, “We are doing military precision profiling, and we’ve profiled 190,000 delegates out of the 209,000”.

“We are miles ahead,” he said. We have profiled 190,000 delegates, and I’m way, way, way, way ahead. I think I’m close to 50%, and the second person is around about half of what I am profiling.”

He further fired shots at Global InfoAnalytics’ interest in the NPP’s flagbearer race, saying, “First of all, what is Global InfoAnalytics’ interest in this poll? Who pays them?” he asked. “I know what I know, but I’m saying…”

“Somebody must have an interest such that you do a nationwide poll and you give me 5%,” he said. “No, come on.”

He added, “It means he pulled 12 people out of 700 and then passes a judgment that of the 700, I will get 5%. In May, Dr Bawumia was polling 77% according to the same organisation.” He continued, “June, 77%, July, 70, August 55, September 52, October 47, November 42. By December, let’s say it comes to 35. In January, it comes to about 25.”

“From his own report, not to critique the report, he says that the undecided is huge, 30%,” he noted.

“Two candidates are in the race. The delegates have not changed. They voted for either Kennedy or Bawumia. All of a sudden, they are undecided. So people don’t want to tell you that you vote for Brian, because others are intimidating them.”

“The elections of January 31, 2026, will not change the results,” he said. “I’ll win. Nothing will change it. I’ve been in contact with 200,000 of the 209,000 people we profiled, 190,000 people. Nothing will change,” He added.

Meanwhile, the Global InfoAnalytics latest poll has revealed that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia continues to dominate the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries.

The Global InfoAnalytics revealed that the poll was conducted between 17th and 21st November 2025 among 3,500 delegates across all 16 regions.

The poll, however, shows that Dr Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong’s support has slightly declined since October.

Global InfoAnalytics’ likely voters’ model indicated that, “Dr Bawumia: 42.7%, Kennedy Agyapong: 17.7%, Dr Bryan Acheampong: 4.6%, Dr Yaw Adutwum: 0.3%, and Kwabena Adjei Agyapong: 0.3%”.

With 14.9% of delegates not disclosing their voting intentions, while 19.3% remain.

Also, committed voters, Dr Bawumia’s lead widens: “Dr Bawumia: 63.3%, Kennedy Agyapong: 28.6%, and Dr Acheampong: 6.9%”.

The poll revealed that Dr Bawumia leads in 13 regions, with Kennedy ahead only in the Volta region, with the Central region tied.

Additionally, Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director, Global Info Analytics, has made a bold call that Kennedy Agyapong will win the Volta Region in NPP’s presidential primaries, and Dr Bawumia will win in the Eastern Region.

EOCO recovers US$15.1m defrauded from Ghanaians through virtual assets – AG

The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has revealed that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has recovered US$15.1 million defrauded from Ghanaians through virtual assets.

According to the Attorney-General, the US$15.1 million defrauded from Ghanaians in an online investment scheme dates back to 2019 through virtual assets such as cryptocurrency.

The AG revealed that EOCO has frozen and recovered virtual assets worth US$15.19 million that were hidden in foreign jurisdictions.

“Sir Sam Jonah, Victor Quainoo, and I were charged with 26 counts of fraud over River Park Estate” – Kojo Ansah Mensah

The Chief Executive Officer of Mobus, Mr Kojo Ansah Mensah, has revealed Sir Sam Jonah, Victor Quainoo, and he were charged with 26 counts of fraud over River Park Estate on June 26.

According to Mr Kojo Ansah Mensah, they were charged despite ongoing legal proceedings regarding the River Park Estate.  

Speaking on JOYNEWS, Kojo Ansah Mensah explained, “The Ghana High Commission wrote for a certified true copy of that report three times; that panel, till today, has not been made public. Out of nowhere, on June 26, it was on TV that the South African, Ogonuwa, Paul Odili being paraded by the Nigerian Police. That they have concluded the investigation and have charged Sir Sam Jonah, myself, Victor Quainoo and the company’s secretary with 26 counts of fraud, my God.

I was in America when this happened, and I quickly got on a plane and came to Ghana, met with officials of the government and met the IGP on July 2nd. In the presence of Baba Jamal, they threatened to arrest Sir Sam in the IGP’s office; everything that happened was recorded. IGP was the one who chaired the meeting”.

He added, “They were now portraying a letter saying Sir Sam says Obansanjo have him the land, and they interviewed the former president, and he said he did not give any land. Meanwhile, they have never made that letter public.

First of all, the Nigerian President cannot give land; the land is given by the Minister of State, so they are just using semantics and wordplay to justify and call Sir Sam a liar. Even Sir Sam Jonah said Obasanjo gave him land that they never contested, that Jonah Capital was given land; his association with Jonah Capital is what is in dispute”.

Ghanaian business tycoon Sir Sam Jonah and Nigerian Paul Odili are in a legal tussle over the ownership of the River Park Estate.

Meanwhile, Sir Sam Jonah has filed several petitions over the illegal takeover of two of his businesses in Nigeria, JonahCapital Nigeria Ltd and Houses for Africa Nigeria Ltd.

According to his petition, the illegal takeover is allegedly orchestrated by a prominent Nigerian businessman, Paul Odili, owner of Paulo Homes.

His petition is addressed to Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and Nigeria’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment.

Parts of the Petition read, “However, just before the SIP report could be given to the parties, Paulo Homes clandestinely requested a further investigation of the petition and complaint already investigated by the SIP vide a petition dated April 10, 2025, to the IGP Monitoring Unit (how a report that is yet to be released to any of the parties could be the subject of Paul Odili’s later petition, which in effect is an appeal/review of the SIP report, remains a mystery to us). The IGP Monitoring Unit interestingly approved the said petition on the same date of April 10, 2025, that the petition was submitted to them.

“DCP Akin Fakorede, of the IGP Monitoring Unit, single-handedly jettisoned what the ten-man SIP panel painstakingly investigated and hurriedly generated a second investigation report, which was released via a telecast on June 27, 2025. The said report shockingly indicted Sir Sam and other officers of the company, and further declared Paul Odili of Paulo Homes the owner of River Park Estate, even when he is aware that the ownership is being contested”.

It added, “While JONAHCAPITAL NIGERIA LIMITED is the sole holder of the Development Lease Agreement, it recognised other third-party developers, including Common Consult operated by Adeniran Ogunmuyiwa (140 hectares) and Paulo Homes operated by Paul Odili (66 hectares). Each party operated within its allocation and exclusive of the other. It was the encroachment of Common Consult and Paulo Homes into the portions of land belonging to Sir Sam Esson Jonah (JONAHCAPITAL NIGERIA LIMITED and HFA, Nigeria) that has further deepened the crisis in River Park Estate.

“However, Paul Odili has consistently misrepresented to unsuspecting members of the public that he is the owner of River Park Estate, JonahCapital Nigeria Limited and Houses for Africa Nigeria. He has also falsely held out himself to government agencies, particularly FCTA and all other departments under it, as the owner of River Park Estate. Paul Odili and his company, Paulo Homes, have been illegally interfering with the proprietary interest of JONAHCAPITAL NIGERIA LIMITED and HFA, Nigeria, to unlawfully apply for and collect land title documents (Rights of Occupancy/Certificates of Occupancy), sell lands, and develop areas belonging to JONAHCAPITAL NIGERIA LIMITED and HOUSES FOR AFRICA NIGERIA LIMITED using letterheads dishonestly without our consent or authority. With this malicious misrepresentation,” he said.

He added, “Paul Odili has wrecked serious havoc on our business interest in River Park Estate, including selling our properties in excess of 120 hectares in various clusters of the estate, such as Clusters 1A and 5A.”

He further urged the Foreign Minister “to, in the course of these engagements, demand the immediate reversal of the unlawful alterations to preserve our assets from being dissipated while the cases in court are being determined” and to “alert ECOWAS of the breach of regional investment protections.”

“Under my watch, Ofori-Atta will not be treated unfairly” – AG

Dr Dominic Ayine, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has urged the former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, to take the next flight home.

According to the Attorney General, under his watch, Ofori-Atta will not be treated unfairly.

He further revealed that he has formally transmitted a request for the extradition of Ken Ofori-Atta and an alleged accomplice, Ernest Akore, from the United States.

Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on Thursday, December 18, 2025, the Attorney General stated, “I have, on behalf of the Government of His Excellency, John Dramani Mahama, taken the requisite steps to bring him to Ghana to face trial. And if I were him, this is his home; he should just join the next flight and come here.

“Under my watch, he will not be treated unfairly. You know, he will go through due process and be prosecuted, just like any other person, just like Kwabena Adu-Boahene, or Hanan (Abdul-Wahab Aludiba), or any of the persons that we have filed charges against,” he said.

He revealed that Ken Ofori-Atta has hired top US lawyers to fight his extradition process to Ghana.

Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine highlighted that the lawyers hired by Ken Ofori-Atta do not daunt him, and he knows there is going to be a fight in the federal courts in the US.

He added that the requirement for the extradition request to be tried in courts may delay the return of Ofori-Atta to Ghana, which makes it difficult to give a potential date.

The AG added, “I just got to know yesterday that he has hired some of the top lawyers in the United States of America, very experienced lawyers to defend him. Now, I’m not afraid at all, I am not afraid at all. But it means that there is going to be a fight in the federal courts in the US.

“If the district court says ‘no’, he will go to the circuit court, all right? If the Circuit Court says ‘no’, he is entitled to go to the US Supreme Court to fight his case.”

He added, “So, I cannot tell you that he will come tomorrow or he will come the next day. And I’m just being honest. Accounting to the people means being explicit and truthful. So this is what I mean, we are faced with.”

Meanwhile, the Office of the immediate past president of Ghana has said Akufo-Addo is concern of the fate of his cousin and former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.

According to the Office of the former President, Akufo-Addo is personally concern of Ken Ofori-Atta’s fate but will not interfere with the rule of law.

Akufo-Addo’s office further dismissed media reports which suggest he is seeking safe passage for his cousin and former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, from President John Mahama, labelling the media reports a “total fabrication”.

On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the office of the former president issued a rejoinder labelling the story published by the Herald Newspaper and picked up by other outlets, as “utterly false”.

The statement stated Akufo-Addo has neither contemplated such a consideration nor expressly or impliedly made any such request or representation to President John Dramani Mahama.

The statement, however, acknowledged Akufo-Addo’s concerns for Ofori-Atta but emphasised that this does not extend to wanting to interfere with the rule of law.

“As a firm believer in democratic tenets, Nana Akufo-Addo’s fidelity to the Rule of Law has never been in question. It is true that the fate of Ofori Atta is of considerable concern to the Former President because, after all, apart from Mr Ofori Atta being his cousin, more importantly, he was the Minister for Finance in both the governments of his mandate. But that concern does not extend to wanting to interfere with the rule of law. Hopefully, this sets the record straight on this matter”, part of the statement read.

Additionally, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Kissi Agyebeng, declared Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive for failing to appear for interrogation into corruption-related investigations.

Ken Ofori Atta has been accused of causing financial loss to the state in several dealings, including the construction of the famous National Cathedral and Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA’s) – Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML), Termination of a contract between the Electricity Company of Ghana Limited and Beijing Xiao Cheng Technology (BXC) for the Distribution and Ambulance Procurement: A Ministry of Health contract with Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.

Also, the OSP has since arraigned Ken Ofori-Atta and seven others in connection with the 78 charges filed against them in connection with the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

“I see no presidential qualities in Kennedy Agyapong” – Atta Akyea

Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, has revealed he sees no presidential qualities in Kennedy Agyapong, a former Assin Central lawmaker.

Atta Akyea highlighted that Ken Agyapong is better qualified to serve as Trade Minister than as President.

Speaking on UTV, Atta Akyea stated, “I see no presidential qualities in Kennedy Agyapong; he is better qualified to serve as Trade Minister than as President”.

Also, Atta Akyea has said he is afraid that Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful, can beat someone in Cabinet as President.

According to Atta Akyea, he is scared of Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament.

He added, “In God’s name, I will not say I have a problem with Kennedy Agyapong, I don’t even have one problem with him, but to be a president it demands a lot of things.

I am scared of Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament; I am afraid that if God is not merciful to us, he could beat someone in the Cabinet as President. He does not have a heart. I know him like the back of my palm.

There is no way you can tell Ken to calm down, in public is where he show of his temperament, things that should not be in public he does not know how to do them”.

Atta Akyea further highlighted that as president, one must have shock absorbers, which Ken Agyapong does not have.

He stressed that when competence, temperament, intellectual prowess, and vision are combined, Bawumia is ahead of Ken Agyapong.

Atta Akyea stated, “The temperament of a president is someone who has shock absorbers; it is not someone who wants to fight people if they have an issue. He is my classmate. I would have followed him so that he would appoint me as Chief of Staff. Hostile language, insulting behaviours, from a leader of the nation.

We can open doors for him as a businessman to run a big business, but if we combine competence, temperament, intellectual prowess, and vision, Bawumia is ahead. When he has gotten to how do we tame his temperament, it cannot be done, even what you are telling him is offensive to him. Those following him today are even afraid to talk to him”.

Meanwhile, Kennedy Agyapong has said he has endured all the insults and attacks in silence because of party unity.

The former Assin Central MP warned that the day he chose to speak, Ghanaians would know that there are real men in the NPP.

Ken Aggyapong further mocked former vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the 2024 flagbearer of the NPP for conceding defeat too early in the December polls.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Bawumia rushed to concede defeat in the 2024 elections, leaving members of parliament high and dry to lose their seats.

Speaking to NPP delegates ahead of the January 31 presidential election, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “A lion may remain calm for the sake of unity, but it fears no one. I have endured the insults and attacks in silence, but the day I choose to speak, you will know there are real men in this party.

You cannot rush to concede defeat before the counting is done and cause our MPs to lose seats, then expect leadership again. Not today, not tomorrow”.

Ken Ofori-Atta has hired top US lawyers to fight his extradition – AG

Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has announced that the former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has hired top US lawyers to fight his extradition process to Ghana.

According to Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, the lawyers hired by Ken Ofori-Atta do not daunt him, and he knows there is going to be a fight in the federal courts in the US.

He revealed that the requirement for the extradition request to be tried in courts may delay the return of Ofori-Atta to Ghana, which makes it difficult to give a potential date.

Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on Thursday, December 18, 2025, the Attorney General stated, “I just got to know yesterday that he has hired some of the top lawyers in the United States of America, very experienced lawyers to defend him. Now, I’m not afraid at all, I am not afraid at all. But it means that there is going to be a fight in the federal courts in the US.

“If the district court says ‘no’, he will go to the circuit court, all right? If the Circuit Court says ‘no’, he is entitled to go to the US Supreme Court to fight his case.”

He added, “So, I cannot tell you that he will come tomorrow or he will come the next day. And I’m just being honest. Accounting to the people means being explicit and truthful. So this is what I mean, we are faced with.”

He further revealed that he has formally transmitted a request for the extradition of Ken Ofori-Atta and an alleged accomplice, Ernest Akore, from the United States.

He added, “I have, on behalf of the Government of His Excellency, John Dramani Mahama, taken the requisite steps to bring him to Ghana to face trial. And if I were him, this is his home; he should just join the next flight and come here.

“Under my watch, he will not be treated unfairly. You know, he will go through due process and be prosecuted, just like any other person, just like Kwabena Adu-Boahene, or Hanan (Abdul-Wahab Aludiba), or any of the persons that we have filed charges against,” he said.

It will be recalled that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Kissi Agyebeng, declared Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive for failing to appear for interrogation into corruption-related investigations.

Ken Ofori Atta has been accused of causing financial loss to the state in several dealings, including the construction of the famous National Cathedral and Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA’s) – Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML), Termination of a contract between the Electricity Company of Ghana Limited and Beijing Xiao Cheng Technology (BXC) for the Distribution and Ambulance Procurement: A Ministry of Health contract with Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.

Also, the OSP has since arraigned Ken Ofori-Atta and seven others in connection with the 78 charges filed against them in connection with the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

Additionally, Manasseh Azure Awuni, an Investigative journalist, has revealed that former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta had three visas when he left Ghana.

The Investigative journalist highlighted that Ken Ofori-Atta left Ghana on January 4, 2025 and had a valid visa to the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Manasseh further detailed that the embattled Ken Ofori-Atta’s U.S. visa will expire on February 14, 2026, his UK Visa will expire on April 21, 2032, with his Canadian visa will also expire on May 31, 2031.

In a post shared on X by Manasseh Azure on November 24, 2025, read, “My investigation has also revealed that Ken Ofori-Atta, whose date of birth is November 7, 1959, left Ghana on January 4, 2025. He departed from Terminal 3 of Kotoka International Airport and travelled on United Airlines Flight 997 to Washington, D.C., in the United States.

Ken Ofori-Atta travelled on a Ghanaian passport and has valid visas to the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Ken Ofori-Atta’s U.S. visa will expire on February 14, 2026, about three months from now. His UK Visa will expire on April 21, 2032, and his Canadian visa will expire on May 31, 2031”.

“I would’ve been happy to hand over Abu Trica to US authorities in exchange for Ofori-Atta” – AG

Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has said he would be very happy to hand over Frederick Kumi, widely known as Abu Trica, in exchange for the former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.

Speaking during the Government’s Accountability Series on Thursday, December 18, 2025, the Attorney General stated, “I would have been glad to hand over Abu Trica, as I have done in other cases, and in return secure Ken Ofori-Atta. However, extradition must go through a court of competent jurisdiction. In our case, that is a district court. In the US, it will be a federal district court”.

“The person subject to extradition will contest it in court. The US authorities cannot simply accept my request and take him. The case will proceed through formal court proceedings,” Dr Ayine explained.

Abu Trica, a 31-year-old Ghanaian from Swedru, who was arrested for his alleged involvement in an $8 million romance scam which targeted elderly victims in the United States.

He was arrested in Ghana on December 11, 2025, following an investigation conducted by the FBI Cleveland Division and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian M. McDonough for the Northern District of Ohio.

The US Department of Justice wrote, “According to the indictment, perpetrators of this romance scam used Artificial Intelligence software to assume false identities and form close personal relationships with victims. They gained victims’ trust to obtain money and valuables, often targeting individuals through social media and online dating platforms under false pretences.

Victims were often elderly and engaged in romantic but physically distant relationships with perpetrators. The perpetrators built trust through frequent, intimate conversations by phone, email, and messaging platforms. They then requested money or valuables under false pretenses, such as urgent medical needs, travel expenses, or investment opportunities. Relying on these misrepresentations, victims were persuaded to send funds or valuables, which were then directed to co-conspirators posing as third parties.

The indictment also alleges that after the victims transferred funds, Kumi worked with a network of co-conspirators to distribute the money from Ohio and across the United States to associates in the Republic of Ghana and other locations.

Kumi has been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, and a forfeiture specification, and faces up to 20 years in prison”.

It further added, “If convicted, a defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after a review of factors unique to this case, including a defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, his role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentences will not exceed the statutory maximum, and in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt”.

Also, it will be recalled that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Kissi Agyebeng, declared Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive for failing to appear for interrogation into corruption-related investigations.

Mahama backs Asantehene’s mediation report; set GH¢1bn for Bawku revitalisation

The government of Ghana, led by President John Dramani Mahama, has approved the Bawku mediation report by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

In an official statement released by Spokesperson to the President, Felix Kwakye Ofosu stated that the government has accepted all recommendations in the report.

According to the statement, the report provides a comprehensive, fact-based, and forward-looking roadmap.

President Mahama has also directed the establishment of a One Billion Ghana Cedi (GHS 1,000,000,000) Bawku Revitalisation Fund.

The fund is expected to be disbursed from 2026 to 2028 and aims to rebuild critical infrastructure to restore Bawku as an economic hub in Northern Ghana.

Parts of the statement read, “The report constitutes a comprehensive, fact-based, and forward-looking roadmap aimed exclusively at achieving lasting peace, reconciliation, and stability in Bawku and its surrounding areas. It is not intended to apportion blame or confer victory on any party.

“In particular, the government affirms the unequivocal position of the law, as consistently upheld by the Supreme Court of Ghana, that Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II is the lawful Bawku Naaba, and that no individual or group is permitted, under any circumstances, to contest his authority or legitimacy”.

“Government accepts the recommendation that Alhaj Seidu Abagare, who was installed as a rival claimant to the Bawku chieftaincy, be recalled to Nalerigu by the Overlord of Mamprugu, the Nayiri, to assume an alternative traditional role, with the necessary facilitation and support of the State.

“Pursuant to this recommendation by His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the government will immediately facilitate the safe movement of Alhaj Seidu Abagare to Nalerigu, where he shall remain available to receive the directives of the Nayiri.”

Meanwhile, Nayiri Naa Bohugu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga, the Overlord of the Mamprugu Traditional Area, has formally rejected the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II recommendation on the Bawku crisis.

In a strongly-worded three-page statement dated Wednesday, December 17, 2025, the Overlord of the Mamprugu Traditional Area labelled the mediation report as a “procedurally flawed” and “unilaterally imposed” document.

According to the statement, the report does not reflect his engagements with the mediator.

Parts of the statement read, “I must state clearly and without reservation that the so-called report and recommendations do not reflect my engagements with Otumfuo, nor those of my duly constituted mediation team,” the Nayiri declared.

The Overlord of the Mamprugu statement expressed profound disappointment that the parties were not allowed to comment before the final report was presented.

“To say that I feel betrayed, disappointed, and deeply hurt would be a grave understatement,” he wrote, alleging that the report was “replete with factual inaccuracies” and displayed a “manifest imbalance” favouring one side’s narrative while omitting Mamprugu’s case.

He also expressed alarm over President Mahama’s decision to issue a definitive government position within 24 hours based on the document.

“Such an approach, respectfully, will not advance the peace we all seek,” he stated.

“Not even an inch of Mamprugu’s ancestral heritage will be ceded to anyone, especially through an unjust and clearly orchestrated process.”

He highlighted that the mediation had ended in a “clear DEADLOCK” with no consensus.

“I remain fully committed to peace, dialogue, and stability in Bawku and the wider Mamprugu area. However, peace must be founded on law, history, fairness, and consent, not on imposed outcomes,” he said.

“I am afraid Ken Agyapong could beat someone in Cabinet as President” – Atta Akyea

Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, has said he is afraid that Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful, can beat someone in Cabinet as President.

According to Atta Akyea, he is scared of Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament.

Speaking on UTV, Atta Akyea stated, “In God’s name, I will not say I have a problem with Kennedy Agyapong, I don’t even have one problem with him, but to be a president it demands a lot of things.

I am scared of Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament; I am afraid that if God is not merciful to us, he could beat someone in the Cabinet as President. He does not have a heart. I know him like the back of my palm.

There is no way you can tell Ken to calm down, in public is where he show of his temperament, things that should not be in public he does not know how to do them”.

Atta Akyea further highlighted that as president, one must have shock absorbers, which Ken Agyapong does not have.

He stressed that when competence, temperament, intellectual prowess, and vision are combined, Bawumia is ahead of Ken Agyapong.

Atta Akyea stated, “The temperament of a president is someone who has shock absorbers; it is not someone who wants to fight people if they have an issue. He is my classmate. I would have followed him so that he would appoint me as Chief of Staff. Hostile language, insulting behaviours, from a leader of the nation.

When he has gotten to how do we tame his temperament, it cannot be done, even what you are telling him is offensive to him. Those following him today are even afraid to talk to him”.

Also, Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM), a Ghanaian satirist and anti-corruption advocate, has said Kennedy Agyapong, cannot be tame.

KSM noted that Kennedy Agyapong is running to become president of Ghana, so he has adapted his character; however, he added that the former Assin Central MP cannot be measured and he will slip back to his old self soon.

Speaking on KSM UNFILTERED, hosted by Bridget Otoo, Kwaku Sintim-Misa explained, “Well, he is running for president, so he has to adapt to a new phase, so that is a new face now, as to whether that phase is sustainable, will he be that or not? That is the question for all Ghanaians to know and decide.

When asked if Ken Agyapong is capable of being measured or tame, he added, “No, you can’t tame him; he can be melo for a while and tolerate things for a while, but it will get to a point where he will say he is tired because that is not him. After a while, he will just slip back.

KSM noted that Kennedy Agyapong’s biggest mistake was joining Dr Bawumia’s campaign after his primary defeat.

“If Kennedy Agyapong had not campaigned for Dr Bawumia, he would have been more believable. After all the noise he made, he still campaigned for him”.

“I have never met Ken Agyapong at Heathrow Airport, nor have I ever insulted Akufo-Addo” – Atta Akyea

Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, has finally replied to Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful, following his claims that he used filthy words against Akufo-Addo.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, Atta-Akyea insulted Akufo-Addo and told him that Akufo-Addo was not fit to be president.

Speaking on Skyy FM, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “Atta-Akyea, I could have responded to him, but I am not going to respond to him because, even President Akufo-Addo, he insulted him. he told me at Heathrow Airport that he is not fit to be president at that time Akufo-Addo won.

So, I was surprised when Akufo-Addo appointed him as minister; he accepted it, before I would have replied to him. The filthy words he says when I go to the UN…”

Kennedy Agyapong reiterated, “The filthy words he used to describe Akufo-Addo at the London Heathrow Airport were scary. So if he can criticise someone coming from his own hometown, when he does it to me, I am nobody, so I am not going to respond. But he should remember the things he told me at Heathrow Airport, it was so nasty.

If I had told Akufo-Addo, he would never have made him a minister, but I was quiet; I am not responding to anybody, I am just staying focused. These are distractions because they do not have a message, so they go about saying Kennedy Agyapong is not presidential material”.

Atta Akyea, in response to the statement, stated he has never met Kennedy Agyapong at Heathrow Airport, nor have I ever insulted Akufo-Addo to him.

He further described the claims by Kennedy Agyapong as completely false.

Atta Akyea on UTV stated, “I have never met Kennedy Agyapong at Heathrow Airport, nor have I ever insulted Akufo-Addo to him. These claims are completely false”.

Meanwhile, on UTV, Kennedy Agyapong has also revealed he bought a house for Samuel Atta Akyea.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, he bought a house for Atta Akyea worth $500,000 but he rented it out to the Okyenhene, pocketing $4000.

The former Assin Central MP also added that he recently gave Atta Akyea $50,000 for him to acquire the office, which he was renting.

Speaking on UTV, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “I am not going to respond to anyone; they should all speak, but if I decide to fire, they will run away from the evidence I will produce. I just don’t talk.

I will give you evidence. With Atta Akyea, when I said Heathrow Airport…, he said I don’t understand English, someone who does not understand English. I was able to buy a house worth $500,000 during Kufuor’s time at the AU village and gifted it to him”.

He added, “He was taking rent from the Okyenhene and was paying $4000 to you. Where is your wisdom, if someone who does not understand English can buy a house and gift it to you?

When he was hiring his office, when they decided to sell it to him, I gave him $50,000, I left it to fate. Everyone should say theirs. For now, I am not hard; at an appropriate time, I know everything about them”.

See photos as President Mahama deploys military to Jamaica after hurricane Melissa

President John Dramani Mahama has deployed a contingent of soldiers from the 48th Engineers Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces to Jamaica following the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa.

The troops were formally sent off at a parade addressed by President John Mahama.

He described their mission as a humanitarian duty rooted in solidarity and shared history.

Speaking to the soldiers, President Mahama stated, “We’re gathered here today for a solemn and proud national duty to see off officers and men of the Ghana Armed Forces who have been selected to represent Ghana on a humanitarian reconstruction mission to Jamaica following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa.”

“This deployment reflects Ghana’s solidarity with the people of Jamaica and our shared history, values, and bonds within the African-Caribbean family. After the destruction of the hurricane, Ghana dispatched humanitarian assistance to the friendly people of Jamaica and Cuba and also to the displaced people of Sudan,” President Mahama said.

He added, “This humanitarian assistance included food aid, locally produced Ghanaian rice, blankets, mattresses, plastic buckets, medicines, and other such accoutrements.”

“Our nation understands the pain of natural disasters and the long road to recovery. Today’s mission reinforces Ghana’s commitment to humanitarian response, disaster recovery and reconstruction, and South-South cooperation, Pan-African and Afro-Caribbean solidarity”.

“I commend the Ghana Armed Forces for their professionalism, for their discipline, and their readiness to serve not only at home but anywhere in the world, duty calls. This mission is not a combat mission. It is a mission of compassion, skill, and service.”

President Mahama revealed his decision to send engineering troops follows talks with Jamaica’s Prime Minister.

He added, “After we dispatched the first batch of humanitarian assistance, I made a phone call to the Prime Minister of Jamaica, the Honourable Andrew Hornace, to express Ghana’s solidarity with the people of Jamaica. He thanked me for the assistance we had dispatched and in our discussion he said what they need currently is assistance with rebuilding and providing shelter for the people who have been displaced.”

“And so I offered to send a regiment of our engineering corps to help with the assistance and also send them some tents to provide temporary shelter. We’re dispatching those tents by sea so that we can provide temporary shelter, but in the meantime, our troops are going to help with reconstruction, with building, and also providing support for the people of Jamaica,” he explained.

President Mahama further urged the Militray they are now ambassadors of the Republic of Ghana and their actions will shape how Ghana is perceived abroad.

He added, “Your conduct will reflect the values, discipline, and humanity of the Ghanaian soldier. You’re ambassadors of the Republic of Ghana. Your actions will shape how Ghana is perceived abroad.”

“We expect you to uphold professional excellence, respect for local authorities and communities you work in, to exercise discipline, integrity and teamwork, and protect one another and return home safely,” he said.

“Ghana has already carved out a good reputation for service abroad, and I know that those of you who are dispatching today will hold the flag of Ghana high and you will not let us down,” he said.

“Through you, Ghana is going to convey a clear message to the people and government of Jamaica that they are not alone and that Ghana stands in solidarity with them,” President Mahama said.

“Ghana stands with them in this moment of rebuilding and recovery. This mission symbolises a bridge of solidarity across the Atlantic, grounded in shared history and mutual respect.”

“To say that I feel betrayed, disappointed, and deeply hurt would be a grave understatement,” he wrote, alleging that the report was “replete with factual inaccuracies” and displayed a “manifest imbalance” favouring one side’s narrative while omitting Mamprugu’s case.

He also expressed alarm over President Mahama’s decision to issue a definitive government position within 24 hours based on the document.

“Such an approach, respectfully, will not advance the peace we all seek,” he stated.

“Not even an inch of Mamprugu’s ancestral heritage will be ceded to anyone, especially through an unjust and clearly orchestrated process.”

He highlighted that the mediation had ended in a “clear DEADLOCK” with no consensus.

“I remain fully committed to peace, dialogue, and stability in Bawku and the wider Mamprugu area. However, peace must be founded on law, history, fairness, and consent, not on imposed outcomes,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in his presentation of the final Bawku mediation report has recommended that the Overlord of Mamprugu, the Nayiri, accept Asigri Azoka as the Chief of Bawku and the head of the Kusasi Traditional Area.

The Otumfuo recommended that Seidu Abagre, who was recently installed by the Mamprusi side as a rival chief to the Bawku Naba, Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, should be recalled to Nalerigu.

According to the Otunfuo, Seidu Abagre, in his recommendation, must be recalled to Nalerigu and reassigned to perform a different traditional role at the Palace of the Nayiri in Nalerigu, or if he chooses to stay in Bawku, he should stay as an ordinary citizen.

Speaking during the presentation of the mediation report to President John Dramani Mahama at the Jubilee House on December 16, 2025, stated, “The final resolution of the Bawku Matters requires that Mr Seidu Abagre be recalled to Nalerigu by the Nayiri to be reassigned to play another traditional role at the Palace of the Nayiri, assisted by the State.

Alternatively, he may choose to stay in Bawku as an ordinary citizen of the community but not to pose as Bawku Naba”.

He added, “I recommend that my brother, the Nayiri, accept Asigri Abugrago Azoka as the Chief of Bawku and the head of the Kusasi Traditional Area”.

Also, the Asantehene has said the Bawku mediation report should bind on all parties.

He described the Bawku Peace Mediation process as a fact-finding effort aimed solely at restoring lasting peace.

The Asantehene stated, “We present the report for your kind consideration, whatever action you and your government consider appropriate,” the Asantehene said.

“There’s nothing more grievous than the peace and security of the land. Like I said, it was a mediation. It wasn’t an arbitration, and I’m not here to say that this one was wrong or this one was right. I’ll present the facts as they are, and that’s what it should be, binding on all of us.”

He added, “At the commencement of the hostilities, the government of former President Akufo-Addo issued a statement on the legal position.

“Both President Akufo-Addo and now President John Dramani Mahama came to the conclusion that historically, governments have intervened without lasting peace, and that court pronouncements have not been respected by either side if they went against them.”

“Both governments took the position that I should define a solution to the Bawku situation using mediation, and that my recommendations or conclusions shall be enforced by both governments at all times as a traditional solution to the problem,” he said.

“We stand behind the president and say that there will be no third term” – NDC

The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has reiterated the party’s position, dismissing claims of a third-term agenda for President John Dramani Mahama.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, December 16, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey highlighted that the NDC is committed to Ghana’s constitutional order and democratic principles.

The NDC General Secretary stated, “First and foremost, you must appreciate that all over sub-Saharan Africa, if there is one country that has been able to provide the model that continues to be an inspiration in terms of democratic transition, it is Ghana”.

“We at no point should ever encourage a situation where there is a disruption in our constitutional stipulations. The president has spoken about that, and clearly he did well because he didn’t want to allow such conversations to continue as if he is entertaining it,” Kwetey said.

“The party itself that has promised to ensure that we do what is right for the country has to ensure that, in this spirit of reset, even though we have such a huge majority in Parliament, we use it only to do what is good for the country and not try to change the Constitution because we are trying to make maybe one person happy,” he explained.

Also, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, National Chairman, NDC, has issued a statement boldly declaring that the party will not sponsor, support or entertain any move to amend the presidential term limits for any individual, including President John Dramani Mahama.

The NDC statement comes on the heels of Mahama Ayariga, the Majority Leader, sharing his opinion on the not ending talks surrounding the possibility of President John Dramani Mahama serving a third term in office.

In the statement signed by Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the NDC unequivocally, categorically, and without ambiguity stated the NDC has no intention of using its Parliamentary Majority to pursue any amendment to the 1992 Constitution that seeks to extend or alter the two-term presidential limit.

The statement read, “The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken notice of recent public discussions following remarks attributed to the Majority Leader in Parliament, Hon. Mahama Ayariga, concerning the possibility of constitutional amendment to allow H.E. John Dramani Mahama to contest for a third presidential term.

As National Chairman of the NDC, I wish to state unequivocally, categorically, and without ambiguity that the NDC has no intention, now or in the future, of mandating its Parliamentary Majority to pursue or support any amendment to the 1992 Constitution that seeks to extend or alter the two-term presidential limit.

The position of the NDC on this matter is firm and longstanding

  1. The NDC is fully committed to Ghana’s constitutional two-term limit, which has guided our democracy since 1992.
  2. It was the NDC that birthed and championed the 1992 Constitution, and it was under our leadership tha he presidential term was capped at two. This was done deliberately to safeguard national stability, preven he abuse of executive authority, and protect the integrity of our governance system
  3. Any attempt to remove or distort this important pillar of our constitutional architecture would be nothing short of dangerous. A third-term amendment will introduce needless tension, invite instability, and undermine the peace Ghana has enjoyed under the Fourth Republic, a peace built on a constitutional foundation laid by the NDC itself.

Let it therefore be made abundantly clear:

The NDC will not sponsor, support, entertain, or tolerate any move to amend the presidential term limits for any individual, including H.E. John Dramani Mahama

President Mahama has repeatedly demonstrated his respect for the Constitution and the democratic traditions of our nation. The party urges the public to disregard any rumours suggesting otherwise. Our focus remain n governance reforms, economic recovery, national unity, and strengthening democratic institutions, not tampering with term limits.

The NDC remains committed to protecting the very Constitution we authored, in the interest of Ghana’s continued peace, stability, and democratic progress”, the statement concluded.

Majority Leader’s position on repealing OSP does not represent NDC – Fifi Kwetey

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has said that Mahama Ayariga, the Majority Leader’s position on repealing OSP does not represent the party.  

According to  Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, it is normal for individuals to hold dissenting views, adding that what the president states as the leader of the party represents the party.

The NDC General Secretary dismissed claims that there is an internal rift after President Mahama directed the Majority Leader and the Majority Chief Whip to withdraw a private member’s Bill seeking to abolish the Office of the Special Prosecutor.

Speaking on Channel One TV on December 16, 2025, Fifi Kwetey explained, “Now, this view on the Special Prosecutor, clearly, individuals can have their own perspective. The decision becomes a political decision if it’s discussed at the highest level of our party. For example, when the political committee of the party, led by the president and including key figures, both current and former leaders, comes together and decides on a position, anyone who articulates that is speaking on behalf of the party.

“Otherwise, whatever someone says in Parliament reflects their personal view and not the party’s position. It’s okay to have disagreements; that’s not a problem,” he said.

He added, “What the president states as leader of the party represents the party. The president can even disagree with the finance minister, but at the end of the day, the person in charge of the vehicle is the president.

“Together with the party leadership, the president articulates the party’s highest position, and those decisions have to be made,” he added.

“We are not saying you can’t have your own opinion. Remember, the majority in Parliament represents part of the party, but individuals can still hold personal positions. Ultimately, though, the party’s view is expressed by the President,” he said.

His remarks follow: President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the Majority Leader and Majority Chief Whip in Parliament to withdraw their Private Member’s Bill seeking to scrap the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act.

The Presidential Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, in a statement released, stated, “President John Dramani Mahama has requested the Majority Leader and Majority Chief Whip in Parliament to withdraw the Private Member’s Bill tabled for the repeal of the Act establishing the Office of Special Prosecutor.

The President’s request follows his public expression of support for the strengthening of the Office of Special Prosecutor as a vital cog in the fight against corruption at a meeting with the Peace Council yesterday.

The President also reiterates his call on the Office of the Special Prosecutor to do more to boost public confidence in its work and frontally tackle corruption in line with the objectives informing the establishment of the office”.

The statement follows: the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga and his Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, have drafted a private member’s bill to repeal the OSP Act and abolish the OSP.

The draft bill, however, is yet to be presented to Parliament for consideration.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (Repeal) Bill, dated December 8, 2025, reveals Parliament’s intent to return full prosecutorial authority over corruption cases to the Attorney-General, in line with Article 88 of the Constitution.

“After Kpandai, we are going for Annoh-Dompreh’s seat” – NDC’s Gbande

Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, has said the party plans to go after the Nsawam/Adoagyiri parliamentary seat being held by Frank Annoh-Dompreh.

According to Mustapha Gbande, the NDC is determined to legally challenge parliamentary seats it believes were unfairly taken by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Gbande revealed that once the court proceedings relating to the Kpandia constituency are concluded, the NDC will target the Nsawam/Adoagyiri seat.  

The NDC man alleged that the Nsawam/Adoagyiri election was compromised by Annoh-Dompreh, who engaged in actions that undermined the integrity of the electoral process.

Speaking on UTV, Mustapha Gbande stated, “When we are done with the court issue on Kpandia, we are going to follow up on the Annoh-Dompreh seat for a potential by-election”

“For Annoh-Dompreh, I was there, and everybody saw him on TV. He destroyed the election and manoeuvred to win, so we will go there,” he stated.

He added, “All the places that they rigged the election, we will go there, Suhum, Tolon. Even for Tolon, his issue is already in court”.

Gbande further dismissed claims that the NDC’s actions are not aimed at weakening the NPP, adding that the party’s objective is to seek redress through the courts.

“Nobody should accuse the NDC of trying to collapse the NPP. Everywhere that they cheated us, we will follow up and seek re-election,” Gbande added.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has ordered the Electoral Commission (EC) to halt all proceedings and activities leading to the conduct of the Kpandai parliamentary rerun.

The court directed the EC to suspend all proceedings pending the final determination of a case before the court.

The Supreme Court decision puts a hold on preparations by the EC for the rerun election until the legal issues surrounding the matter are fully resolved.

In court, the Supreme Court adjourned proceedings to January 13, 2026, this is to allow for further consideration of the issues raised by the parties involved.

In Court, counsel for the applicant, Gary Nimako Marfo, told the court that the NDC candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal had not been served with the judicial review application.

He therefore requests the court to allow substituted service.

A five-member panel, presided over by Justice Pwamang, with Justices Kulendi, Tanko, Samuel Asiedu, and Henry Kwofie, granted the request.

The Supreme Court ordered that service on the NDC candidate be effected within seven days, after which service would be deemed effective.

Mathew Nyindam, in his application, argued that the Tamale High Court erred in assuming jurisdiction over the election petition filed by the NDC candidate Daniel Nsala Wakpal.

He is seeking judicial review to quash the High Court’s judgment, together with all processes and proceedings following the court decision.

It will be recalled that the Tamale High Court, on November 24, 2025, ordered the rerun of the Kpandai parliamentary election within 30 days.

The Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) had earlier announced that the Kpandai Parliamentary election rerun will be held on Tuesday, December 30.

“We have profiled 190,000 delegates, and I’m way ahead” – Bryan Acheampong

Dr Bryan Acheampong, an aspiring New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has dismissed polls by Global InfoAnalytics ahead of the party’s presidential election.

According to Bryan Acheampong, his team’s own internal profiling shows he is far ahead in the race for the party’s presidential slot.

He revealed his campaign team has profiled 190,000 delegates out of the 209,000, showing he is far ahead in the flagbearer race.

Speaking on PM Express on Tuesday, the Abetifi MP stated, “We are doing military precision profiling, and we’ve profiled 190,000 delegates out of the 209,000”.

“We are miles ahead,” he said. We have profiled 190,000 delegates, and I’m way, way, way, way ahead. I think I’m close to 50%, and the second person is around about half of what I am profiling.”

He further fired shots at Global InfoAnalytics’ interest in the NPP’s flagbearer race, saying, “First of all, what is Global InfoAnalytics’ interest in this poll? Who pays them?” he asked. “I know what I know, but I’m saying…”

“Somebody must have an interest such that you do a nationwide poll and you give me 5%,” he said. “No, come on.”

He added, “It means he pulled 12 people out of 700 and then passes a judgment that of the 700, I will get 5%. In May, Dr Bawumia was polling 77% according to the same organisation.” He continued, “June, 77%, July, 70, August 55, September 52, October 47, November 42. By December, let’s say it comes to 35. In January, it comes to about 25.”

“From his own report, not to critique the report, he says that the undecided is huge, 30%,” he noted.

“Two candidates are in the race. The delegates have not changed. They voted for either Kennedy or Bawumia. All of a sudden, they are undecided. So people don’t want to tell you that you vote for Brian, because others are intimidating them.”

“The elections of January 31, 2026, will not change the results,” he said. “I’ll win. Nothing will change it. I’ve been in contact with 200,000 of the 209,000 people we profiled, 190,000 people. Nothing will change,” He added.

Meanwhile, the Global InfoAnalytics latest poll has revealed that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia continues to dominate the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries.

The Global InfoAnalytics revealed that the poll was conducted between 17th and 21st November 2025 among 3,500 delegates across all 16 regions.

The poll, however, shows that Dr Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong’s support has slightly declined since October.

Global InfoAnalytics’ likely voters’ model indicated that, “Dr Bawumia: 42.7%, Kennedy Agyapong: 17.7%, Dr Bryan Acheampong: 4.6%, Dr Yaw Adutwum: 0.3%, and Kwabena Adjei Agyapong: 0.3%”.

With 14.9% of delegates not disclosing their voting intentions, while 19.3% remain.

Also, committed voters, Dr Bawumia’s lead widens: “Dr Bawumia: 63.3%, Kennedy Agyapong: 28.6%, and Dr Acheampong: 6.9%”.

The poll revealed that Dr Bawumia leads in 13 regions, with Kennedy ahead only in the Volta region, with the Central region tied.

Additionally, Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director, Global Info Analytics, has made a bold call that Kennedy Agyapong will win the Volta Region in NPP’s presidential primaries, and Dr Bawumia will win in the Eastern Region.

“Agradaa has indeed become black; even the Judge could not recognise her” – Osofo Biblical

Osofo Appiah Biblical has once again commented on the appearance of Nana Agradaa, also known as Evangelist Mama Pat.

According to Osofo Appiah Biblical, Agradaa has become much darker in complexion, stressing that the Judge could not recognise her and asked her to remove her nose mask to confirm her identity.

Speaking after court proceedings, Osofo Appiah Biblical stated, “Agradaa has indeed become black; there is nothing to hide. The whole mighty Agradaa after 5 months is very surprising. I don’t know why the reporter will say the court has issued a warning to me.

Even the Judge could not recognise her well, and asked her to remove her nose mask to see if it was her. The Agradaa we know if night falls and he shows up there, the whole place is bright. We know her to be fair, but within a short time, she has changed”, he added.

Osofo Appiah Biblical had earlier offered a striking account of Agradaa’s current condition, describing her as visibly transformed and ‘pitiful.’

Speaking to the media, Osofo Appiah Biblical stated, “Agradaa was in court today. When you see her, you will be shocked. Her whole body has changed. We were stunned by her physical appearance in court today.”

Also, an alleged image of  Agradaa in jail has caused a stir on social media.

In the alleged image of Agradaa in jail, the controversial televangelist looks way different from her usual light-skinned tone. The image widely captured the alleged Agradaa, dark in complexion, seated in what looks like a jail.

It is yet to be verified if the viral image circulating on social media is really Agradaa.

Additionally, in court, Nana Agradaa has been convicted in her nude photo distribution case of fellow pastor Osofo Biblical.

In court on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Agradaa was fined GHS12,000 and was also ordered to pay GHS50,000 as compensation to the complainant, Osofo Biblical.

The court decision follows a plea bargain agreement reached between Agradaa and the State.

The case spanned nearly three years.

It will be recalled that Agradaa was charged for allegedly broadcasting nude images of Pastor Appiah Fumum on her television station and social media platforms.

The Prosecutors revealed that the nude images were aired during a live programme where panellists mocked the complainant.

After the court proceeding, Agradaa’s lawyer said the decision by the court was opt for a plea bargain rather than a full trial, which brought finality to the matter.

Speaking to the media after the ruling, counsel for Nana Agradaa stated, “This case has been running for the past three years. Choosing the plea bargain option brought it to an end”.

“We marketed Bawumia for sixteen years, but he had 41%” – Bryan Acheampong jabs

Dr Bryan Acheampong, an aspiring New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has ripped Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s performance in the 2024 elections into shreds.

According to Bryan Acheampong, Dr Bawumia was marketed by the NPP for sixteen years but failed in the market with only securing 41 per cent in the 2024 election.

Dr Bryan Acheampong further highlighted that  Dr Bawumia has reached his electoral ceiling, which is 41 per cent.

He described Dr Bawumia as the most marketed NPP candidate, highlighting that he had spent eight years as Vice President and eight years as running mate.

Speaking on PM Express on Tuesday, Dr Acheampong detailed, “Everything that you have ends at 41%. In the sixteen years that we marketed him, he had 41%. We marketed Akufo-Addo for eight months; he had 49.7%,”

He added that the 2024 election results were devastating, with the NPP failing to win a single constituency in seven regions during the 2024 presidential election.

Dr Bryan Acheampong added, “After all the attributes that you just highlighted, in seven regions, we could not win a single constituency,” he said. He listed Volta, Oti, Upper East, Upper West, Savannah and Bono East. He said, “In the presidential, we could not win one constituency in these regions.”

“When we were supporting him in 2023, one of the beliefs was that if we presented him, he would hold the votes from the northern part of Ghana for us. Five of the regions that we did not win a single constituency, seven, five of them are from the northern half of Ghana,” he said.

Dr Acheampong cited further losses. “We could not win one western region, 17 constituencies, we won one presidential. Those attributes and the results of the elections are the ones that the delegates are passing a verdict on”.

“If we market you for 16 years, and you come out with 41% and we market Akufo-Addo for eight months, and he gets 49.7% then there’s a difference,” he said.

Dr Acheampong explained that “the difference is that the marketing did not yield the sales results,” adding that “people are going to change their product.”

“You’re mixing logic with politics and performance,” he said. He said history is often misunderstood. “It is only logic which will suggest that Adu Boahen went once, Busia went once and won; Kufuor went twice and won; Akufo-Addo went three times and won, and logically, it means that Dr Bawumia will go four times,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM), a Ghanaian satirist and anti-corruption advocate, has said that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has allowed partisan issues to crowd his intelligence.

According to KSM, Dr Bawumia’s statement about when the fundamentals are weak, the exchange rate will expose you is true, but Dr Bawumia’s statement only implied to the NDC when they were in government, which was wrong.

Speaking on KSM UNFILTERED, hosted by Bridget Otoo, Kwaku Sintim-Misa stated, “We have moved from brawn to brain; it’s all brain work; it’s not about being macho that makes you who you are. The numbers don’t mean anything to me; they can be 76 in parliament, but if you hear the quality of the debate and argument, it will feel like it has an impact on a majority.

It’s time everyone understands that we are moving from brawn to brains. Let us use our brains”.

He added, “My thoughts on Bawumia: he has allowed partisan issues to crowd his own intelligence.  The statement he made, which we still laugh at him for, is that when the fundamentals are weak, the exchange rate will expose you; it is true.

His truth was that it was only true when the NDC was in power. But it doesn’t matter who was in power; his truth was that when the NDC was in power, that is when the fundamentals were weak. That is where he got it wrong”.

He further added, “But he has apologies, when asked by Bridget Otoo if he believes Dr Bawumia’s apology, KSM stated, “No, the apology is politics. The NPP needs to shift from brawn to brains”.

“I called Abu Trica for help, but he chose to clear his Cybertruck instead” – Ajagurajah

Bishop Kwabena Boakye Asiamah, the founder of the Ajagurajah Movement, has said embattled social influencer Abu Trica turned down his request for support during his fundraising for a bus.

According to Ajagurajah, Abu Trica told him he could not give him even 1 cedi because his cybertruck had just landed in Ghana and had to clear it from the harbour.

Ajagurajah added that some individuals contributed to help him acquire a bus for the movement, but Abu Trica was one person who never did.

He emphasised that if he was lying, the Creator should take his life.

Speaking during a live TikTok session, Ajagurajah stated, “I called Abu Trica for help because I was about to organise a Thanksgiving, and he told me his Cybertruck had just landed, so he needed to clear it. He said, ‘He is very sorry, he cannot help me.’ He told me he couldn’t even give me GH¢1 because he had to clear his Cybertruck”.

“He never gave me anything, yet most people believe that Abu Trica takes care of me. Many people have donated to support me, but Abu has never given me anything.

“So, to anyone who thinks Abu Trica funds the Ajagurajah Movement, I want to say I have never met him personally, and he has never given me anything. If I am lying, may God take my life,” he said.

His comments come following Abu Trica, a 31-year-old Ghanaian from Swedru, who was arrested for his alleged involvement in an $8 million romance scam which targeted elderly victims in the United States.

He was arrested in Ghana on December 11, 2025, following an investigation conducted by the FBI Cleveland Division and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian M. McDonough for the Northern District of Ohio.

The US Department of Justice wrote, “According to the indictment, perpetrators of this romance scam used Artificial Intelligence software to assume false identities and form close personal relationships with victims. They gained victims’ trust to obtain money and valuables, often targeting individuals through social media and online dating platforms under false pretences.

Victims were often elderly and engaged in romantic but physically distant relationships with perpetrators. The perpetrators built trust through frequent, intimate conversations by phone, email, and messaging platforms. They then requested money or valuables under false pretenses, such as urgent medical needs, travel expenses, or investment opportunities. Relying on these misrepresentations, victims were persuaded to send funds or valuables, which were then directed to co-conspirators posing as third parties.

The indictment also alleges that after the victims transferred funds, Kumi worked with a network of co-conspirators to distribute the money from Ohio and across the United States to associates in the Republic of Ghana and other locations.

Kumi has been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, and a forfeiture specification, and faces up to 20 years in prison”.

It further added, “If convicted, a defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after a review of factors unique to this case, including a defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, his role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentences will not exceed the statutory maximum, and in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt”.

Watch Man reward Nigerian resident with a new smartphone, after she found his lost phone

A Ghanaian man rewards a Nigerian resident with a brand new Samsung smartphone, after she found his lost phone and returned it to him despite not having a smartphone herself.

The man expressed excitement over her honesty and urged others to emulate such goodwill.

According to the man, he lost his phone at Lapaz and traced it down to a location where the lady named Chioma was keeping it for him.

Speaking in a viral video, the man stated, “I lost my phone at Lapaz. I traced it down and eventually went to the location where it was being kept. When I arrived, a lady named Chioma had the phone with her, and she was waiting for me to claim it. I found her and took the phone”.

“The most interesting part is that Chioma, who found the phone, didn’t have a smartphone herself. That shows the level of her sincerity, and for such good conduct, I wanted to show her my appreciation by gifting her a brand new Samsung smartphone,” he said.

He added, “I had been looking for her since Friday because the phone I bought for her was ready then, and I couldn’t wait to gift it to her. On Friday, I came to give her the phone, but she wasn’t around. I came back on Saturday, but I still couldn’t find her. Thankfully, today being Monday, I tried my luck, and by God’s grace, I found her”.

Chioma, the Nigerian lady, expressed her gratitude to the man, saying, “Thank you! My God will bless you in Jesus’ name. Everything you intend to do will prosper in Jesus’ name.”

Some netizens reacting to the viral video stated, “Why do I feel like they’re sitting in another and got caught, and this is the cover-up?”

A netizen added, “The story no dey add up to me. Based on the info he is giving, there is nothing that shows she was willing to give the phone back to him. So he means he never called back, or no one called for her to answer to find out who had the phone, but just traced where the phone lost. Ah well”

One more X user added, “She doesn’t even look Nigerian. I must believe she’s lived here for many years, as the environment has changed her to become more Ghanaian. Trust me, if she were new in Ghana, the phone wouldn’t have come back”.

A Ghanaian added, “Actually, there are some good Nigerians, but the bad ones are plenty, I swear.. if most Nigerians are patriotic and sincere like Chioma, Nigeria will be a better country”

One more netizen added, “Not all Nigerians are bad people, tho. I have about 3 Nigerians who are very good. Ebi some people wey dey spoil demma name”

“Abu Trica could take legal action against the Ghanaian officers” – Lawyer details

Samuel Kissiedu, a private legal practitioner, has revealed that Frederick Kumi, also known as Abu Trica, can take legal action against the Ghanaian officers who were interrogating him.

In a viral video, Abu Trica was captured struggling to answer a question following his arrest.

The Deputy Commissioner of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), Alexander Twum Barimah, questioned Abu Trica about his source of income.

Abu Trica was spotted handcuffed and seated, and fumbled when quizzed about his work.

Abu Trica, however, insisted he had already provided the information to another officer, adding that he does “a lot of jobs.

Read a narration of the conversation between Twum Barimah and Abu Trica:

“NACOC’s Twum Barimah: What work do you do? I am the one asking the question. I don’t care about what you told somebody in my absence.

Abu Trica: My lawyer should answer the question. I have already done this thing. Ask the other people.

NACOC’s Twum Barimah: We are asking you questions under arrest about your work, and you want your lawyer to answer that? The lawyer cannot answer that question for you.

Abu Trica: The last time your officer came here, I answered the same question.

NACOC’s Twum Barimah: I am asking you. Just answer.

Abu Trica: The last time I explained it to the senior man. I keep saying it. I have not done any transaction for me to be handcuffed.

NACOC’s Twum Barimah: I haven’t asked about any transaction. I need the work that you do, so just say it.

Abu Trica: The jobs that I do are a lot”.

The lawyer reacting to the viral video stated, “Hardly will you see that the police will arrest you and immediately proceed to interrogate you… I believe they should have removed the handcuffs from him [Abu Trica], and as it stands, they subjected him to inhumane treatment”

“To be honest, I think he could take legal action against the officers involved, as it appeared he was being tortured during the interrogation. The law says that once you arrest a person, the first thing is to inform them in a language they understand, a reason for their arrest and his rights to a lawyer of his choice. These are things you cannot take away from the suspect”.

Samuel Kissiedu added, “They asked him what work he does, and he replied that his lawyer will provide the answers. It is not the duty of the suspect to assist the police officer in doing their investigations”.

“If you claim the person has committed an offence, you must conduct your own investigations, gather evidence and take them to court, but cannot force them to give answers hoping to help the investigation… when that happens, it appears as forcing the person [suspect] to incriminate himself,” he said.

He added, “I think the officer was out of order and his behaviour was unlawful. Was recording him and putting out the video an attempt to disgrace him [Abu Trica]? Presumption of innocence is key in the Constitution Article 19 (2) (c).

“The person is presumed to be innocent until the court proves finds him guilty or he pleads guilty, and arresting them based on an allegation does not mean they are guilty. I think the conduct of the officers was wrong and unlawful, and so he [Abu Trica] should take steps to take legal action against them,” he concluded.

“My son Cletus Avoka, be very careful” – Otumfuo warns Zebilla MP over Bawku conflict

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has warned the Member of Parliament for the Zebilla Constituency, Cletus Avoka, over his public comments on the Bawku conflict.

Reports suggest Cletus Avoka had claimed that the Mahama government and Otumfuo are being intimidated in the ongoing Bawku peace mediations.

He is quoted by Accra FM to have said, “The government of the day, led by President Mahama, and Otumfuo are being intimidated”.

Speaking during the presentation of the mediation report to President John Dramani Mahama at the Jubilee House on December 16, 2025, the Asantehene cautioned Cletus Avoka about his public statements.

He highlighted that the MPs’ public statements tend to heighten tensions and undermine the peace efforts currently underway.

The Asantehene stated, “My son Cletus Avorkah, if he is here, he has to be very careful about the pronouncements he makes publicly.

It is not right. It is a dicey situation, and we are all trying to make amends and bring people together as brothers and sisters”.

He added, “It seems he is making various pronouncements that will not lead to the peace we want. I will tell him that we want peace… we don’t make pronouncements on the radio that will incense the other side. I will invite him personally and tell him. We have reached the reconciliation stage”.

Also, the Asantehene clarified that his role in efforts to resolve the protracted Bawku conflict was strictly mediation and not arbitration.

He added, “I’m here not to give a judgment as to who was wrong and who was right. I’m here to present the facts as they are for us to have peace”.

“Almost a year ago, the people of Ghana handed the mandate of the governance of Ghana to your Excellency, and you wasted no time in reaffirming the mandate of the Bawku mediation. By the grace of God, we are able to assemble here for us to present to your excellency the report of the mission you entrusted to us,” he said.

“We present the report for your kind consideration, whatever action you and your government consider appropriate,” he added.

He further reiterated, “Like I said, it was a mediation. It wasn’t an arbitration, and I’m not here to say that this one was wrong or this one was right. I’ll present the facts as they are, and that’s what it should be, binding on all of us.”

Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in his presentation of the final Bawku mediation report, recommended that his brother, the Overlord of Mamprugu, the Nayiri, accept Asigri Azoka as the Chief of Bawku and the head of the Kusasi Traditional Area.

The Otumfuo recommended that Seidu Abagre, who was recently installed by the Mamprusi side as a rival chief to the Bawku Naba, Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, should be recalled to Nalerigu.

Speaking during the presentation of the mediation report to President John Dramani Mahama at the Jubilee House on December 16, 2025 stated, “The final resolution of the Bawku Matters requires that Mr Seidu Abagre be recalled to Nalerigu by the Nayiri to be reassigned to play another traditional role at the Palace of the Nayiri, assisted by the State.

Alternatively, he may choose to stay in Bawku as an ordinary citizen of the community but not to pose as Bawku Naba”.

He added, “I recommend that my brother, the Nayiri, accept Asigri Abugrago Azoka as the Chief of Bawku and the head of the Kusasi Traditional Area”.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Interior has announced a renewed curfew for Bawku Municipality, effective Monday, December 15, before the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, submitted his report to President Mahama.

According to the Ministry of the Interior, the curfew will run from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am, as part of ongoing efforts to maintain peace and security in the area.

Authorities have urged chiefs, elders, opinion leaders, youth, and residents to exercise restraint and channel their energies through non-violent means to ensure stability.

The Otumfuo recommended that Seidu Abagre, who was recently installed by the Mamprusi side as a rival chief to the Bawku Naba, Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, should be recalled to Nalerigu.

According to the Otunfuo, Seidu Abagre, in his recommendation, must be recalled to Nalerigu and reassigned to perform a different traditional role at the Palace of the Nayiri in Nalerigu, or if he chooses to stay in Bawku, he should stay as an ordinary citizen.

Speaking during the presentation of the mediation report to President John Dramani Mahama at the Jubilee House on December 16, 2025, stated, “The final resolution of the Bawku Matters requires that Mr Seidu Abagre be recalled to Nalerigu by the Nayiri to be reassigned to play another traditional role at the Palace of the Nayiri, assisted by the State.

He added, “I recommend that my brother, the Nayiri, accept Asigri Abugrago Azoka as the Chief of Bawku and the head of the Kusasi Traditional Area”.

Also, the Asantehene has said the Bawku mediation report should bind on all parties.

He described the Bawku Peace Mediation process as a fact-finding effort aimed solely at restoring lasting peace.

The Asantehene stated, “We present the report for your kind consideration, whatever action you and your government consider appropriate,” the Asantehene said.

“There’s nothing more grievous than the peace and security of the land. Like I said, it was a mediation. It wasn’t an arbitration, and I’m not here to say that this one was wrong or this one was right. I’ll present the facts as they are, and that’s what it should be, binding on all of us.”

He added, “At the commencement of the hostilities, the government of former President Akufo-Addo issued a statement on the legal position.

“Both President Akufo-Addo and now President John Dramani Mahama came to the conclusion that historically, governments have intervened without lasting peace, and that court pronouncements have not been respected by either side if they went against them.”

“Both governments took the position that I should define a solution to the Bawku situation using mediation, and that my recommendations or conclusions shall be enforced by both governments at all times as a traditional solution to the problem,” he said.

“I bought a $500,000 house for Atta Akyea, he rented the house to Okyenhene, pocketing $4000 as rent – Ken Agyapong

Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful, has said he bought a house for Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, he bought a house for Atta Akyea worth $500,000 but he rented it out to the Okyenhene, pocketing $4000.

The former Assin Central MP also added that he recently gave Atta Akyea $50,000 for him to acquire the office, which he was renting.

Speaking on UTV, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “I am not going to respond to anyone; they should all speak, but if I decide to fire, they will run away from the evidence I will produce. I just don’t talk.

I will give you evidence. With Atta Akyea, when I said Heathrow Airport…, he said I don’t understand English, someone who does not understand English. I was able to buy a house worth $500,000 during Kufuor’s time at the AU village and gifted it to him”.

He added, “He was taking rent from the Okyenhene and was paying $4000 to you. Where is your wisdom, if someone who does not understand English can buy a house and gift it to you?

When he was hiring his office, when they decided to sell it to him, I gave him $50,000, I left it to fate. Everyone should say theirs. For now, I am not hard; at an appropriate time, I know everything about them”.

Kennedy Agyapong also fired Dr Bawumia, saying, “As a presidential candidate, when you were going around during the campaign, you did not even speak about the economy, you just spoke about digital, digital, the steer should be given to me, is it the steer that we sent to elections?”.  

 In related news, Kennedy Agyapong has said, Samuel Atta Akyea used filthy words against Akufo-Addo.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, Atta-Akyea insulted Akufo-Addo and told him that Akufo-Addo was not fit to be president.

Speaking on Skyy FM, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “Atta-Akyea, I could have responded to him, but I am not going to respond to him because, even President Akufo-Addo, he insulted him. he told me at Heathrow Airport that he is not fit to be president at that time Akufo-Addo won.

So, I was surprised when Akufo-Addo appointed him as minister; he accepted it, before I would have replied to him. The filthy words he says when I go to the UN…”

Kennedy Agyapong reiterated, “The filthy words he used to describe Akufo-Addo at the London Heathrow Airport were scary. So if he can criticise someone coming from his own hometown, when he does it to me, I am nobody, so I am not going to respond. But he should remember the things he told me at Heathrow Airport, it was so nasty.

If I had told Akufo-Addo, he would never have made him a minister, but I was quiet; I am not responding to anybody, I am just staying focused. These are distractions because they do not have a message, so they go about saying Kennedy Agyapong is not presidential material”.

Meanwhile, Atta Akyea warned NPP delegates not to vote for Kennedy Agyapong.

Speaking at a gathering of party faithful at Mpraeso in the Eastern region, Atta Akyea stated, “Someone just reminded me, if you gamble and vote for this man (Kennedy Agyapong) and he goes to the United Nations, you will hear motherfucker, Ghanaians will hear motherfucker, Ghanaians will hear a President saying motherfucker.

Have you heard Dr Bawumia ever say motherfucker before? I beg of you, don’t go and gamble”.

“Special prosecutor and the Deputy cannot be fired at the will of the president” – Sammy Darko

Sammy Darko, the Director of Strategy, Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), has said President John Mahama cannot fire the Special Prosecutor and Deputy at his will.

According to Sammy Darko, the Special Prosecutor is granted a seven-year nonrenewable tenure.  

He recounted that the First Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, also faced petitions seeking his removal, but they were dismissed.

Speaking on the Law programme on Joy News Sunday, December 14, Sammy Darko stated, “The lawmaker also granted fixed tenure of office for the special prosecutor, which is that the special prosecutor currently enjoys a seven-year nonrenewable tenure.

He cannot be fired at the will of the president, so the difference between the special prosecutor and the other agencies, such as the IGP or the EOCO head or the NIB head, is that whereas they can be fired at the will of the president, the special prosecutor cannot be fired at the will of the president.

The special prosecutor and the Deputy cannot be fired at the will of the president; that is why, in the past administration, two persons filed a petition to remove Martin Amidu, the first Special Prosecutor, but both petitions were dismissed as not having any grounds to initiate even investigations into the matter”.

He added, “Currently, you have other people who have filed other petitions that want to remove [Kissi Agyebneg]. That tells you the mechanism they put in place in the law, that is, the special prosecutor cannot be fired or hired at the will of the president. So tomorrow, for instance, the president, if he is not happy with the A-G or the EOCO boss, can fire them, but not the Special Prosecutor and the Deputy.”

“So far, the OSP has done remarkably well, if you look at how young it is. We do appreciate that people often want to measure the OSP from 2018 when it was set up, but the OSP has had teething problems with its setup. We see that the first Special Prosecutor did not complete his tenure and left office”.

Sammy Darko added, “[Kissi Agyebeng] decided to rebuild the office. What people do not know is that we have been building this office from scratch, which means apart from an empty building that was donated to the office, the office has to be built from scratch, which means you need to develop all the divisions of the office, employ people, you need to put in the infrastructure to be able to investigate.

“Kissi Agyebeng took over in 2021, and it was not until 2023 that the office had its full staff with realistic logistics to be able to work. Remember that the office was also set up without an establishment budget, so the office is being built from the annual budget, which is not enough. Even as we speak, we do not have a forensic lab.”

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama, on December 10, 2025, had said that it is premature for the closure of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

During a courtesy visit by the National Peace Council, Mahama urged that the office be given more time to operate, whilst also encouraging the OSP to accelerate some of its investigations and demonstrate its continued relevance to the public.

Speaking during a meeting with the National Peace Council on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, explained, “I think it’s premature to call for the closure of that office. The unique thing about that office is it is the only anti-corruption agency that has prosecutorial powers to be able to prosecute themselves without going through the Attorney General and so people had mistrust for the Attorney General because the Attorney General normally is a member of government and is a Minister of State and so they believe that the Attorney General would be very reluctant to prosecute his own.

“But if there’s an independent office like the Office of the Special Prosecutor, it won’t matter who you are because they have security of tenure and they have prosecutorial powers whether you’re a member of government or you’re a member of a previous government or you are anybody who has misappropriated public funds, they have the law is behind them to be able to prosecute you”, he stated.

Man in viral video assaulting wife granted GH₵100,000 bail with two sureties

John Odartey Lamptey, a man in a viral video, assaulting wife, has been granted bail of GH₵100,000 with two sureties by the Accra Circuit Court.

Earlier, the Divisional Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) District Court in Accra refused bail for businessman John Odartey Lamptey, who was captured in a viral video assaulting his wife.

John Odartey Lamptey pleaded not guilty to seven charges after a viral video showed him assaulting a woman, alleged to be his wife.

However, in a subsequent court appearance, John Odartey Lamptey was granted bail of GH₵100,000 with two sureties by the Accra Circuit Court, with one to be justified.

A restraining order has also been issued against John Odartey Lamptey.

Recall, in a viral video shared on social media, the landlord was captured in a disturbing scene beating his wife with a large stick.

John Odartey Lamptey, alias Nii Adjei and two others, identified as his siblings, were remanded by the Magistrate Court at DOVVSU for assault and conspiracy to commit a crime.

The three reappear in court on 3rd December 2025, as the Ghana Police Service intensifies efforts to find the victim and has urged anyone with information about the victim to come forward, promising confidentiality.

The Ghana Police Service, in a statement providing an update, stated, “The Magistrate Court at the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service has remanded accused persons, John Odartey Lamptey, alias Nii Adjei and two others into police custody. The accused, who was captured in a viral video physically assaulting a woman believed to be his wife, has been charged with Physical Assault, contrary to Sections 1(b)(i) and 3(2) of the Domestic Violence Act, 2007 (Act 732).

The two others, Louis Odartey Lamptey and Grace Kushie Lamptey, have also been charged with Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, to wit “threat of harm” contrary to Sections 23(1) and 74 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), after they attempted attacking a female tenant, they suspected of recording and circulating the viral video”.

Meanwhile, Harriet Amuzu, the woman in a viral assault video, has recounted more harrowing ordeals meted out to her by her husband, John Odartey Lamptey.

According to Harriet, her husband assaulted her by smearing pepper on her private parts and later forced himself on her.

The victim also revealed she had separated and moved out of the matrimonial home, but the husband deceived her with the pretence that their child was ill.

Harriet Amuzu further revealed that the viral video was not the first time she was abused, adding that she had constantly filed complaints with evidence at the Tesano and Ofankor Police Stations against her husband, but nothing was done by the Police.

Speaking to TV3’s Portia Gabor, Harriet Amuzu narrated, “He went to the kitchen for pepper and accused me of sleeping around, he opened up my thighs, stripped me naked and peppered my private part”.

She further narrated what led to the recent viral video, saying, “I was at a funeral on Saturday in my hometown when he called to say that my younger son was ill and that I must return to care for him. I only came home to find the kids playing, and I asked why he had lied to me. At night, he wanted to have sex with me, but I refused because we had been estranged for five months.

“He beat me because I refused to have sex with him. I was separated from him for 5 months after he physically assaulted me. He hit me with sticks and threatened to kill me after accusing me of sleeping around. I reported several times to the  Police, but they didn’t come to my aid”.

She further added that she had planned to return to her village the following morning, but when she approached her children, Odartey Lamptey prevented her and intentionally lured her back.

She narrated that Odartey Lamptey called another child, Daniel, to take the children out and then locked the door, with her estranged husband then assaulting her.

She added that  Odartey stripped her naked, removing her underwear and waist beads, claiming ownership of them and later beat her with a stick, stepped on her, and threatened her with a knife to cut off her hand.

“Ghanaians will not forgive NDC if Ken Ofori-Atta is let off the hook” – NDC communicator 

Prof Benedicta Yayra Fosu-Mensah, Communication Team Member, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has warned the party that Ghanaians will not forgive them if the former finance minister is let off the hook.

The NDC communicator is quoted by Metro TV Ghana to have said, “Ghanaians will not forgive NDC if Ken Ofori-Atta is let off the hook”.

It will be recalled that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Kissi Agyebeng, declared Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive for failing to appear for interrogation into corruption-related investigations.

Ken Ofori Atta has been accused of causing financial loss to the state in several dealings, including the construction of the famous National Cathedral and Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA’s) – Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML), Termination of a contract between the Electricity Company of Ghana Limited and Beijing Xiao Cheng Technology (BXC) for the Distribution and Ambulance Procurement: A Ministry of Health contract with Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.

Also, the OSP has since arraigned Ken Ofori-Atta and seven others in connection with the 78 charges filed against them in connection with the Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) revenue assurance contract with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

Additionally, Manasseh Azure Awuni, an Investigative journalist, has revealed that former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta had three visas when he left Ghana.

The Investigative journalist highlighted that Ken Ofori-Atta left Ghana on January 4, 2025 and had a valid visa to the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Manasseh further detailed that the embattled Ken Ofori-Atta’s U.S. visa will expire on February 14, 2026, his UK Visa will expire on April 21, 2032, with his Canadian visa will also expire on May 31, 2031.

In a post shared on X by Manasseh Azure on November 24, 2025, read, “My investigation has also revealed that Ken Ofori-Atta, whose date of birth is November 7, 1959, left Ghana on January 4, 2025. He departed from Terminal 3 of Kotoka International Airport and travelled on United Airlines Flight 997 to Washington, D.C., in the United States.

Ken Ofori-Atta travelled on a Ghanaian passport and has valid visas to the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Ken Ofori-Atta’s U.S. visa will expire on February 14, 2026, about three months from now. His UK Visa will expire on April 21, 2032, and his Canadian visa will expire on May 31, 2031”.

Meanwhile, the Office of the immediate past president of Ghana has said Akufo-Addo is concern of the fate of his cousin and former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.

According to the Office of the former President, Akufo-Addo is personally concern of Ken Ofori-Atta’s fate but will not interfere with the rule of law.

Akufo-Addo’s office further dismissed media reports which suggest he is seeking safe passage for his cousin and former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, from President John Mahama, labelling the media reports a “total fabrication”.

“When they say my English can’t get Ghana loans from IMF, tell them …” – Ken Agyapong

Kennedy Agyapong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate hopeful, has replied crtics who claimed his English is bad.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, when his critics tell Ghanaians his English cannot get loans from the IMF, they should tell them Ghanaians need employment, not loans.

Kennedy Agyapong is quoted by GHOne to have said, “When they say my English can’t get Ghana loans from IMF, tell them Ghanaians need employment, not loans”.

Some netizens reacting to Kennedy Agyapong’s remarks stated, “This man speaks to real issues. Ghanaians don’t wake up craving IMF loans; they want jobs, dignity, and opportunity. Leadership is about production, not dependency. That clarity is refreshing and necessary at this moment in our politics”.

“I have said, continue to say.. KEN is the kind of Leader we need..

I would vote for Ken on an NPP ticket any day.

He embodies that Trump no-nonsense that we need..”, a netizen added.

One more X user added, “English is the language of colonial criminals. When uncivilised British criminals colonised Ghana, they forced GH to speak English for governance affairs so they could know what we do & control…70+yrs after they left, we’re still reporting to criminals by speaking English. Adɛn?”

In related news, Kennedy Agyapong has said Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, does not exist in his life.

According to the former Assin Central MP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is behind Abronye and co who have been insulting him.

Speaking on UTV, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “I can survive with anything; I do not have time for them, but that does not mean they have to rig the election. I believe in the structures, and I know all the Electoral Commission officials my opponents have engaged with. They plan to use the party’s internal security to humiliate anyone who comes close,”

“I do not have time for Bawumia; in my life, he doesn’t exist. What Abronye and co is doing, Bawumia is behind it, but I just don’t want to say anything; all those insulting me, he knows them, but I don’t want to say anything”.

He further recounted a prior incident at the residence of former President Nana Akufo-Addo.

The former lawmaker added, “Some time ago, something happened at the residence of former President Akufo-Addo. I mentioned a certain man’s name; there was nobody there when I left. The next day, it was posted on social media, but I do not have anything against anybody”.

When asked if he will campaign for Dr Bawumia or not if he emerges victorious, Kennedy Agyapong added, “Did I not campaign for him during the recent election? After that, did he even call me to appreciate my efforts? His followers were even insulting me. The only loyal person from his camp was NAPO. I took him to my warehouse and gave out items freely. He had young boys who claimed that I never campaigned”.

Kennedy Agyapong further revealed he does not listen to social media and the news as he remains focused on his goals.

“Do you know what helps me? I don’t listen to social media, I don’t listen to the news, I stay focused”, he added.

“I have submitted my petition for the removal of Special Prosecutor” – Kpebu

Martin Kpebu, a Private legal practitioner, has announced he has finally submitted his petition seeking the removal of Kissi Agyebeng as Special Prosecutor.

The lawyer revealed he has submitted a petition to the President for the removal of the Special Prosecutor and expects action to be taken.

Lawyer Kpebu is quoted by TV3 to have said, “I have submitted my petition for the removal of the Special Prosecutor to the President. I expect action to be taken on it”.

It will be recalled that Martin Kpebu, after his release from the OSP, hinted at having 15 allegations against the Special Prosecutor,

Speaking to TV3 shortly after his release, Lawyer Kpebu stated, “I know I have not done anything wrong, so I knew I would be released”.

He revealed that his arrest stemmed from a verbal confrontation with a military officer stationed at the OSP.

Mr Kpebu recounted, “Then the next thing, the soldier said I am stupid, so I also turned and said he is also stupid, and so we exchanged words”.

“I know I have not done anything wrong, so I knew I would be released,” he stated.

“Then a colleague of his, another soldier, shouted that next time I do that, I will see. In Ghanaian English, ‘you will see’ means he will cause me some harm, or there will be consequences, even if not physical.

So I turned and gave the same answer; he had no right. I’m not a suspect, and even if I was, could he do that? So I said he had no right”.

“Then the next thing I knew, he said I’m stupid. That’s what the soldier said. So I turned back and told him he is also stupid. We exchanged a few words, and then one of my lawyers pulled me so we could go in,” he added, stating he would never attack any officer who had done nothing to him.

He added that his arrest confirms that Kissi Agyebeng is incompetent.

“I will petition for his removal. I have 15 allegations against him,” he once again revealed.

Also,  Martin Kpebu has labelled the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, as a double agent.

According to Martin Kpebu, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is engaged in double agent work, which Ghanaians cannot continue to deal with.

He boldly claimed that Kissi Agyebeng appears to be working for the people of Ghana, and at the same time serving the former finance minister Ofori-Atta’s interest.

Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb, Martin Kpebu stated, “This double agent work, we cannot continue to deal with double agency. You are either working for the people of Ghana or you are not. But to be working, to appear to be working for the people of Ghana, and also be serving Ofori-Atta’s interest, we can’t accept that,” he said.

He added, “Because he said, ‘I intercepted the letter, I intercepted the letter,’ and you sat down and you allowed him to go.”

Additionally, Kpebu claimed Kissi Agyebeng was handpicked by Gabby Otchere-Darko, the former Attorney General Godfred Dame and former President Akufo-Addo to do their bidding.

He further alleged, once again, that Kissi Agyebeng colluded with former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta to allow him to travel out of the country.

Speaking to JoyNews on December 4, 2025, Martin Kpebu stated, “… The story remains that Kissi Agyebeng sat on his hands and allowed Ofori-Atta to run out of this country, when Ofori-Atta had five cases pending before Kissi Agyebeng, which leads to a reasonable suspicion of collusion.

In the past, Kissi Agyebeng had worked for Ofori-Atta, and also Kissi Agyebeng used to work for Gabby Otchere-Darko, who is related to Ofori-Atta,” he alleged.

He added, “We always have to mention because we are connecting the dots. Kissi Agyebeng was hand-picked because he’s close to Gabby Otchere-Darko, Godfred Dame and Akufo-Addo. He was hand-picked so that he would do their bidding. He wasn’t picked as an independent person.

Martin Amidu was the one who was picked as an independent person, and see how Martin Amidu stung Akufo-Addo as the mother serpent of corruption. So, Akufo-Addo said ‘No, henceforth I’ll pick somebody who will play ball with me,” Kpebu claimed.

Petition against Justice Kulendi did not disclose a prima facie case – Kwakye Ofosu

The Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has said a petition sent to President John Dramani Mahama for the removal of Justice Yonny Kulendi did not establish a prima facie case.

According to Felix Kwakye, the petition was forwarded to the Chief Justice in accordance with Article 146 of the Constitution.

He added that the Chief Justice wrote to the President, indicating that the petition did not disclose a prima facie case.

In a post on X, he stated, “In the matter of a petition brought against Justice Yonny Kulendi, the following facts suffice.

1) The President forwarded the petition to the Chief Justice to determine whether or not there was a prima facie case in accordance with Article 146 of the Constitution.

2) The Chief Justice wrote to the President, indicating that the petition did not disclose a prima facie case.

3) The President has communicated what Chief Justice  said to the petitioner”.

In addition, the Secretary to the President, Dr Callistus Mahama, in a letter dated 4 December 2025, wrote to the petitioner, Daniel Marfo Ofori-Atta.

The letter stated, “I have the instructions of His Excellency the President to respond to your petition dated 30 September 2025 on the above matter”.

“By a letter dated 2 December 2025, the Chief Justice informed His Excellency the President that no prima facie case had been established by the petition to warrant any further investigation,” the letter said.

Chief Justice’s determination, the letter noted: “In the circumstances, the Petitioner’s own evidential material undermines and collapses the factual foundation of the allegations.

“When compared against the sworn testimony of Mr Jakpa, the petition’s claim that Justice Kulendi abused his office to secure bail for his cousin and that he sought to inappropriately influence the outcome of the case is exposed as a clear distortion of the record and fails to disclose any evidentiary basis upon which a prima facie finding can be properly grounded.

“In conclusion, it is my determination that this petition fails to meet the evidential threshold required to establish a prima facie case under Article 146(3) of the Constitution. Accordingly, I find that no prima facie case has been established against Justice Yonny Kulendi by the Petitioner.”

Dr Mahama added, “In view of the Chief Justice’s determination that the constitutional threshold under Article 146(3) has not been met, no further steps are required in respect of your petition. The matter is therefore concluded.”

Meanwhile, the petition was sent to John Mahama, seeking the removal of Supreme Court Judge, Justice Yonny Kulendi, over alleged judicial misconduct.

The petition was filed by Daniel Marfo Ofori-Atta on September 30, 2025.

Daniel Marfo Ofori-Atta accuse Justice Kulendi of improper interference in the ambulance scandal case, Republic v. Cassiel Ato Forson & 2 Others.

According to the letter, Mr Ofori-Atta claimed that the alleged actions of Justice Kulendi flout provisions of the Code of Conduct for Judges and Magistrates.

Reports suggest the petition has been duly filed and acknowledged by the Presidency.

Court fines Agradaa GHS12K; ordered to pay GHS50K compensation to Osofo Biblical over nude photos

Patricia Asieduaa, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has been convicted in her nude photo distribution case of fellow pastor Osofo Biblical.

In court on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Agradaa was fined GHS12,000 and was also ordered to pay GHS50,000 as compensation to the complainant, Osofo Biblical.

The court decision follows a plea bargain agreement reached between Agradaa and the State.

The case spanned nearly three years.

It will be recalled that Agradaa was charged for allegedly broadcasting nude images of Pastor Appiah Fumum on her television station and social media platforms.

The Prosecutors revealed that the nude images were aired during a live programme where panellists mocked the complainant.

After the court proceeding, Agradaa’s lawyer said the decision by the court was opt for a plea bargain rather than a full trial, which brought finality to the matter.

Speaking to the media after the ruling, counsel for Nana Agradaa stated, “This case has been running for the past three years. Choosing the plea bargain option brought it to an end”.

Meanwhile,  Agradaa is serving a 15-year jail term after she was sentenced for two counts of defrauding by false pretences.

She was sentenced by Her Honour Evelyn Asamoah of the Circuit Court.

Agradaa was also fined GH¢300 for one count of charlatanic advertisement, with a 30-day custodial sentence in default of payment.

Her charges stem from a televised advertisement she aired in 2022.

In the ad, Agradaa claimed she has the power to double the money for her congregants at the Godsway International Heaven Church, misleading them into surrendering their money during an all-night church service at her Weija-based ministry in Accra.

According to the Judge, Evelyn Asamoah, Agradaa skilfully executed the offences and showed no remorse during proceedings.
