Adamus Resources presents evidence of sustained crackdown on illegal mining

0

Adamus Resources Limited (ARL) has presented what it describes as incontrovertible evidence of its sustained and uncompromising campaign against illegal mining activities on its concessions, leading to multiple arrests and ongoing prosecutions of suspects.

In a statement issued by the company, Adamus Resources rejected claims contained in a letter revoking its mining leases at Akango, Salman and Nkroful, particularly references to alleged Chinese illegal miners.

According to ARL, the Chinese nationals cited in the revocation letter were never linked to Adamus Resources Limited but were instead associated with a separate company licensed by the Minerals Commission (MinCom) to provide mining services.

The company further stated, on record, that it was one Ebenezer Okyere who facilitated bail for the alleged Chinese illegal miners. Adamus Resources emphasised that Mr. Okyere has never had any association with the company.

“With all the emphasis we can muster, Ebenezer Okyere has never been linked to Adamus Resources Limited,” the statement stressed.

Adamus Resources recalled several instances where its security task forces, often at great personal risk, confronted heavily armed illegal miners operating particularly at Akango East.

These confrontations, the company said, underscore its commitment to operating responsibly and strictly within Ghana’s mining and environmental laws.

According to ARL, such actions demonstrate its zero-tolerance stance on illegal mining and its determination to protect both its concessions and the environment.

The company detailed a major security operation carried out on Thursday, 19 February 2026, between 0100hrs and 0300hrs, following intelligence on illegal mining activities at the Old Salman Community Mining Site.

Upon arrival, ARL’s Security Operations Team discovered four excavators—two SANY and two XCMG—parked at the site, with no operators present.

Further inspection revealed that all four excavators had their control boards and monitors disconnected. One XCMG excavator, with Serial Number 1535/8144391.00, was secured and trammed to the ARL Plant Site (Traffic) for safe custody.

Subsequently, on Monday, 23 February 2026, between 1203hrs and 1250hrs, four individuals—Doc Mends Annor, Abdul Rahaman, Nuhu Sheik, and Nazir Abdullah—purportedly representing Namova Ghana Limited, led by Abraham Kwofie, met with ARL management to claim ownership of the confiscated excavator.

During the meeting, Mr. Caleb Mends alleged that their company had been informed by the Ellembelle District Chief Executive (DCE) to undertake a reclamation project at Awulezo–Bamiankor, and was later invited to carry out similar activities elsewhere within the district, including at Old Salman.

ARL management declined to release the excavator, stating that no formal or written communication had been received from the DCE confirming such an arrangement.

The delegation was advised to submit any claims or proposals through official written correspondence for proper assessment. The company has since requested further police investigations into the matter.

In another operation on Thursday, 23 April 2026, between 0710hrs and 0940hrs, a joint Security Operations Team comprising AU Fields and ARL Security, led by the Security Superintendent, conducted a special patrol at Akango South following intelligence on illegal mining activity.

The team encountered five excavators, one bulldozer, and several wooden structures with both Ghanaian and Chinese nationals present.

Four of the five excavators were successfully trammed to the ARL Plant Site (Traffic), and three excavator keys were retrieved. One excavator and the bulldozer, both rendered unserviceable due to missing control boards, were left on site.

Security personnel apprehended six suspects identified as Ibrahim Moro (42), Isaac Donkor (52), Abdalah Ibrahim (17), Almond Tweneboah (40), and Luo Zhiqiang (42), a Chinese national. The illegal structures at the site were subsequently demolished.

All suspects were handed over to the Axim Divisional Police for further investigations, while the retrieved excavator keys remain in ARL’s custody.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects admitted to working at the illegal mining site and claimed they were employed by Namova Ghana Limited, which allegedly introduced them to the location.

They further stated that the seized excavators belong to Namova Ghana Limited.

Adamus Resources Limited reiterated its commitment to lawful mining operations and cooperation with state security agencies to ensure that illegal mining activities are completely eradicated from its concessions.

We want you to know that we have heard your voice, and that addressing the reliability challenges is our singular operational priority”.

Watch disturbing video of ‘Okada’ riders sexually harassing a minor

0

A viral video has surfaced of two Okada riders sexually harassing a minor who was hawking avocados.

Reports suggest the incident happened in Manso in the Ashanti Region.

In the viral video, the Okada riders were captured grabbing the girl’s skirt, holding her around the breast area, and also grabbing her waist towards their private area.

The girl in the video was shown to be visibly uncomfortable and distressed, repeatedly trying to free herself from the young men.

A voice was also heard in the video, encouraging the Okada riders to kiss the minor.

The news shared by EDHUB read, “Two men operating commercial motorbikes (Okada) sexually harassed an undêrage g!rl who was hawking avocados at Manso in the Ashanti Region”.

The video clearly depicted an inappropriate and non-consensual act by the Okada riders.

The viral video has since caused a fury on social media, with netizens calling for the arrest of the Okada riders.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the video expressed their displesure saying, stating, “The street belongs to everyone, but the safety of a child is the priority of the neighbourhood. Just imagine two grown men on a bike versus one little girl with a tray of fruit…the math of a coward.”

Another X user added, “@GhPoliceService pls arrest these guys. They probably have been harassing people. FOOLS LIKE THESE ARE NOT MEANT TO BE ROAMING FREELY. PLEASE”.

An X user quizzed, “So how did they feel after making a video of thisss and posting it afterwards???🤮😭 They wanted applause and appraisals from us??

These guys need to be arrested ASAP!!

This is sexual abuse”.

“And we expect the count to progress when generational clowns are a complete mistake by the women who brought these clowns into this world) They are still around in society instead of being in jail”, an X user added.

A netizen added, “I doubt Ghana police would do anything about this. I hardly see them act when it comes to matters like this. We’ve mentioned them a few times over issues of this nature, and they did nothing. Very alarming, but they gloss over it quite often. I pray they do something this time”.

“And that’s the biggest problem with our culture and how boys are socialised.

One X user also noted, “To them, there’s no harm; it’s just fun and games.

Even if she’s to report, a lot of people would tell her it was just a joke.

We need to do better, and public education has to increase”.

One more Ghanaian advised, “Women, please, when you spot things like this in your environment, speak up immediately.

Get the child away from these men.

I know you’ll be scared because Nigerians are enablers of paedophiles, groomers & rapists, they’ll tell you the rapists are just joking.

Pls don’t look away”.

“Akosombo’s fourth unit successfully brought into operation” – John Jinapor announces major power boost

0

Energy Minister John Abdulai Jinapor has announced that the Akosombo, fourth unit, has been successfully brought into operation, which will boost Ghana’s power generation.

According to the Energy Minister, the additional unit at the Akosombo Dam has been successfully restored to boost operation.

In a brief update on Tuesday night, John Abdulai Jinapor disclosed that “at 9:09 pm, the fourth unit at Akosombo Dam was successfully brought into operation,” describing it as “an encouraging step that strengthens power generation.”

Earlier, the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition spokesperson, Richmond Rockson, revealed that the Akosombo Dam has been completely shut down.

According to Richmond Rockson, the development follows the fire outbreak at the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) substation at Akosombo.

John Abdulai Jinapor highlighted that the fire caused massive damage to critical infrastructure at the substation, explaining that the mage disrupted operations and forced authorities to temporarily shut down the Akosombo Dam.

Speaking in an interview with Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, April 27, the Energy Ministry spokesperson, Richmond Rockson, explained, “The switch yard, which is at the Akosombo Substation, is completely burnt down and it is not salvageable. The primary control room for the switch yard is completely gone. It was even difficult for us to walk there when we got there to assess the situation.

“And when that happened, we had to shut the Akosombo Dam completely, and so that is what caused the outages in many parts of the country as we are seeing. Because Akosombo is a major component when it comes to our power generation.”

He further disclosed that it will take several months to fully rebuild the damaged Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) Akosombo Substation.

On Thursday, April 23, the fire incident reportedly occurred at 2:01 p.m. when the substation, a vital installation within Ghana’s electricity transmission network, was suddenly engulfed by flames.

Meanwhile, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hameed, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), has compiled a list of twenty-one excuses the John Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) has given for the current power outages (dumsor) in the country.

RNAQ ex-wife cousin levels fresh allegations against him following Delay’s interview

An alleged cousin of Joana Quaye, the ex-wife of Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ), has dropped more allegations against the businessman.

According to the cousin, RNAQ is influencing his ex-wife’s media access in the aftermath of their divorce.

She alleged that attempts by Joana to tell her side of the story have been blocked by RNAQ.  

A netizen sharing the development on X wrote, “A woman who says she is a cousin of Joana Coffie has alleged that businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye is influencing media access in the aftermath of their divorce.

Speaking in a TikTok interview with content creator Trouble Carlos, she claimed attempts to help Joana Coffie tell her side of the story were repeatedly blocked.

“We tried to secure interviews for her, but the efforts kept getting frustrated,” she said.

According to her, one planned interview with vlogger Zion Felix did not go through at the final stage.

She also alleged that discussions were held in March 2025 with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso for Joana Coffie to speak publicly.

“We had an agreement for her to share her side, but it didn’t happen,” she said. “Instead, Delay later interviewed him.”

The woman further claimed that efforts to follow up after that interview were unsuccessful.

“Afterwards, we couldn’t reach her again. We were blocked on all platforms,” she alleged.

She accused Richard Nii Armah Quaye of using his influence to shape the narrative.

“He is using his power to control access and make it difficult for her to be heard,” she said.

The claims come amid ongoing public discussion about the separation, which continues to generate reactions on social media.

However, Lawyers for Joana Quaye have refuted allegations made by her ex-husband, businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ), during an interview with Delay, labelling the claims as “substantially untrue”.

According to Joana Quaye’s Lawyers, Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s self-serving ex post facto interview with ‘Delay’ cannot change the fact, arguing that the interview was a publicity stunt.

Lawyers for Joana Quaye detailed that the allegations made by RNAQ unfairly castigated the reputation and integrity of their client, Joana Quaye.

The lawyers detailed that the marriage between the parties in 2010 soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns now) is a matter of public record – record of proceedings of the High Court, Accra dated 13th March, 2024 – and cannot be changed by a self-serving ex post facto interview with “Delay”.

They further urged the public to disregard the wild and unfounded claims of “richness before marriage” made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye, adding that their client will surely get justice for the wrongs and abuses she has suffered one fine day.

He has been fitted with an electronic monitoring device on his ankle; he can’t travel or move outside a defined parameter and is required to report regularly to ICE.

His next immigration hearing has been scheduled for 27th April.

What I still don’t understand is why the US authorities are sitting on Ghana’s extradition request. They received this 3 months ago. And the AG’s department has provided them with everything necessary.

The obstruction seems to be coming from the US State Department. I hope our Foreign Minister will ask them for answers.

Shalom”.

“How can you call for an interview and pay bloggers to post your videos?” – RNAQ mocked

A netizen on X has mocked Ghanaian businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ) over his interview with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, commonly known as Delay.

According to the netizen, RNAQ called for an interview with Delay and later paid bloggers to post his videos.

The netizen asserted that the RNAQ interview was a publicity stunt to clear his name following the brouhaha surrounding his divorce.

In a post shared on X, the netizen wrote, ” They expose RNAQ, coz how can you call for an interview and pay bloggers to post your videos”.

Meanwhile, Ghanaian TikToker Trouble Carlos has expressed his disappointment with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, commonly known as Delay, following her interview with Ghanaian business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ.

According to the TikToker Trouble Carlos, he is disappointed with Delay, highlighting that Richard Nii Armah’s wife approached Delay first for an interview, but she refused.

He revealed that Delay claimed she did not want to get involved in their issue, but later gave RNAQ her platform to come and defend himself, and in defending himself, a lot of questions were left out.

Speaking in an interview shared on TikTok, TikToker Trouble Carlos detailed, “I am not going to lie, I am kinda disappointed in Delay, because of the things I have heard that even Richard Nii Armah’s wife approached Delay first for an interview, but she refused. Apparantely delay said, she did not want to get involved in their issue, but all of a sudden, Delay is giving the man a platform to come and defend himself, and in defending himself, a lot of questions were left out. This evening I will talk to my sister again, whatever the case, the public will know. It is just sad, the industry, maybe you guys are just there to support the truth or … it is two things, either you are in or you are out.

Because watching the interview, anyone who knows Delay will know there was something wrong, and it is bad”.

He further detailed that the RNAQ interview was staged, adding that the two-hour interview was with empty questions.

He stressed that for the first time, Delay couldn’t press her interviewee, alleging that the interview was calculated as the host opted to leave out loads of questions.

TikToker Trouble Carlos added, “I have watched Richard Nii Armah and Delays’ interview fully. When I watched the interview, I had a whole load of questions to ask. Two hours of an interview with empty questions.

This is a first-time delay that couldn’t push the person to ask the person the questions she wanted to ask.  Or is it because the question being asked was really calculated?

Where are we here when the news dropped that there is evidence that Richard Nii Armarh evicted the woman from his home? Delay could not ask the reason why he opted to evict her from the house”.

He further added, “The car he gifted her, he went back for it, Delay rather choose to ask if he will buy a car for his ex-wife. There were a whole lot of questions; it was more like this interview was planned to make Richard Nii Armah look good. Even with that, if you are open-minded and you watch the interview, there was a whole lot of contradiction during the interview.

Anyone who has watched my interview with the sister, the things she said were the same things Richard Nii Armah also repeated, but the difference was that the lady was taken out of the picture for it to look like he hustled alone to make it”.

Julius Debrah, Ato Forson, Asiedu Nketia, or Prof Jane Naana will defeat Bawumia in 2028 – Edudzi Tameklo claims

0

Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority, has boldly claimed that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has multiple candidates capable of defeating the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Edudzi Tameklo, the NDC is well-positioned with credible alternatives ready to contest Dr Bawumia as the party’s depth goes beyond John Dramani Mahama.

He highlighted that Julius Debrah, Ato Forson, Asiedu Nketia, or Prof Jane Naana will defeat Bawumia in 2028.

Speaking on Channel One TV on Sunday, April 26, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo stated, “I am so happy, and I say this with so much pride, that today the NDC can produce all these great men who are fit to lead this Republic. Nothing excites me more than hearing the names you have mentioned”.

He further argued that the emergence of multiple potential contenders reflects strength, not division, within the NDC ahead of the contest.

“All the individuals you’ve named, any one of them can beat Dr Bawumia,” he added.

Also, Alamzy Billa Nikyema, the National Democratic Congress(NDC) Member of Parliament for Chiana-Paga, has claimed the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) and it Presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia cannot even win an SRC election.

According to Alamzy Billa Nikyema, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the current NPP lack the political strength needed to win public support, doubting the party’s ability to regain political power in the future.

The NDC MP stressed that NPP members still confidently speak about winning the 2028 general elections when the party is struggling to maintain credibility among Ghanaians.

Alamzy Billa Nikyema stressed that the NPP failed Ghanaians in government, which left public dissatisfaction with the party, adding that the NPP will face challenges in convincing voters at the grassroots.

Speaking on the floor of parliament, Alamzy Billa Nikyema stated, “These people failed us with audacity, they failed us with audacity, and the most bizarre part is that any time they are making contributions, they will tell us that when we win power in 2028. Mr Speaker, my question is with which party and with which candidate?

“Mr Speaker, your current party, and your current candidate, you cannot even use the party and your current candidate to win SRC elections,” Mr Nikyema said.

Meanwhile, Sammi Awuku, the former Director-General of the National Lottery Authority and Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, has revealed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) plans to win the 2028 election.

According to Sammi Awuku, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will shift strategy to win the 2028 elections.

Sammi Awuku explained that the NPP will shift its strategy to prioritise deeper grassroots mobilisation, more structured communication, and sustained engagement with party members.

He detailed that the party intends to move closer to communities to better understand their challenges, making sure that their political policies and messaging reflect realities on the ground.

Sammi Awuku further revealed that the NPP is reviewing its previous campaign strategies to adopt new methods to enhance voter engagement efficiency.

Speaking on the AM Show on April 22, the former NPP National Organiser explained, “There will be a shift in strategy to win 2028”.

“Dr Bawumia is engaging with people to understand their problems and know how they are doing. The focus is to listen more, engage more, and organise better,” he said.

“The BASE could bring down the NPP” – Dr Stephen Amoah warns

0

Dr Stephen Amoah, commonly known as Sticka, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso and a member of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team, has warned that ‘The BASE’ party could bring down the NPP.

Sticka advised that the elections are over, so disgruntled NPP members should come together and sacrifice for the NPP instead of breaking away to form a new party.

He further detailed what the former MP told him regarding leading “ The Base party”.

According to Dr Stephen Amoah, Ken Agyapong told him he is not interested in the Base Movement.

Sticka also cautioned that breaking away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would be a wrong move.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Dr Stephen Amoah stated, “The BASE could bring down the NPP. I will advise everyone that we are done with the elections, so we should come together and sacrifice for the NPP. So, the Base and all those things, we should stop and work together as NPP people, because for me, there is nothing that I would not sacrifice for the NPP”.

“I have personally asked Kennedy Agyapong about ‘The Base’, and he has said he is not interested. As for me, nothing will make me leave the NPP, ” he added.

Also, Lawyer Godlove Adjei Tenkorang has advised veteran Ghanaian Actor, Agya Koo and supporters of The Base party, the former Assin Central Member of Parliament, will never join their party.

According to the lawyer, Agya Koo, and supporters of The Base party, they must stop the jokes and consider doing something more.

He highlighted that the idea of a third political force in Ghana is unrealistic within the current political landscape of Ghana.

He further asserted that one cannot use just a few years to make the NPP and NDC irrelevant.

Speaking on Angel FM, Kumasi, Lawyer Godlove Adjei Tenkorang explained, “If they are planning on having any third force in Ghana, I am sorry to tell them, there cannot be any third force in Ghana, especially not in the life of this generation”.

“It may be possible in another generation, but not now,” he clearly stated.

“Other jurisdictions like the US, South Africa, UK, and Nigeria operate largely on two dominant parties, and they have helped shape their countries over time; the same applies to Ghana, ” he added.

He added, “You cannot use just a few years to make the NPP and NDC irrelevant; it is a total joke. Their objectives are not even clear; I can even say they do not have objectives”.

“The youth do not need swimming pools to bathe in, but rather better policies to improve their lives”.

He further boldly declared that the former Assin Central MP, Ken Agyapong, will not leave the NPP to join ‘The Base’ party as they are unorganised.

“I am very sure Kennedy Agyapong will never join them, considering how unorganised they are”, he added.

Meanwhile, Agya Koo, one of the lead promoters of The Base party, has dismissed reports linking it to businessman and defeated NPP presidential aspirant Ken Agyapong.

Agya Koo explained that Ken Agyapong’s membership in ‘The Base’ party remains unconfirmed.

He highlighted that  Ken Agyapong is not even aware of most of the things being done within the BASE party.

Methodist Church Pastor labelled ‘a thief’ by member loses election

0

The Methodist Pastor labelled in a viral video as ‘a thief’ by one of his church members has lost the Methodist Church Ghana, Kumasi Diocese election for the position of Diocesan Bishop.

The result shared by the Methodist Church Ghana on its official Facebook page on April 25, 2026, detailed that Very Rev Dr Solomon Bruce of the Methodist Church in Kumasi secured 111 votes, while Very Rev Dr Kris Awontomah obtained 8 votes.

The winner, Very Rev Benjamin Anson, emerged with 176 votes.

It will be recalled as a dramatic moment of a congregant confronting a pastor over some church directives, which has been shared on social media, with a woman firing shots at the Methodist pastors and elders.

Reports suggest the dramatic incident occurred at the Wesley Cathedral Methodist Church in Sunyani during an open forum where the woman confronted Methodist pastors and elders over some church directives, including the non-support of members who do not pay tithe, calling him and the leadership of the church thieves.

She disclosed that although she is a working woman and capable of paying tithes, she has decided not to because she feels the system does not reflect fairness in how support is offered to church members.

The woman questioned the rationale behind paying large amounts as a tithe, only to receive minimal support when a family emergency or bereavement occurs.

Speaking during the open forum, a Methodist church member stated, “You mentioned that the Bible says someone who does not pay their tithe is an armed robber. If that is the case, then when we are talking about armed robbers, it starts from you, Bishop, and the elders of the church; you are all armed robbers”.

“I work, and I can afford to pay a huge tithe, but I won’t. I’d rather use that money for something else. If my mother is about to die and not yet dead, and you expect me to bring GH¢5,000 as tithe, only for the church to give GH¢500 to support me, I won’t do that,” she said.

The woman further recounted that when the church contributed smaller amounts, sometimes as little as GH¢10, towards members’ welfare, when the auditorium was often full, yet members who do not pay tithe are still not given any welfare benefits.

According to her, the current approach has led to some members no longer attending the church as support is reportedly tied strictly to tithe payment, discourages participation and raises questions about fairness and membership support.

Meanwhile, Most Reverend Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church, Ghana, has broken the church’s silence on the viral video of a churchwoman confronting a minister over tithing.

According to the Methodist Church, the viral video is an old video and not a recent occurrence.

In an official response shared on the Methodist Church’s  X page on April 22, 2026 stated, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see and those who do see may become blind” (John 9:39).

This was Jesus’ response to the rather hypercritical stance that the Pharisees took against him and a blind man he healed.

The Methodist Church of Ghana, through its appropriate agents, has extended love and compassion to a member seen in a viral video in exchanges with a minister over tithing. It’s an old story, not a recent occurrence.

We thank God for the maturity demonstrated by the minister in not continuing the exchanges, and we are grateful to the member for her apology. She is hurting from the public attacks.

Mama, our love for you is unconditional. It is the gracious forgiveness of Jesus that keeps us all. Blessings”.

“Whether NPP or NDC, politcians care more about cars, houses and women than citizens” – Dr Stephen Amoah

0

Dr Stephen Amoah, popularly known as Sticka, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, has shockingly revealed the hard truths about Ghanaian politcians .

According to Dr Stephen Amoah, whether NPP or NDC politcians car more about cars, houses and women than about citizens.

He asserted said Politics has become an enterprise, adding that from his observations, both his party and the incumbent NDC are incapable of transforming Ghana into a developed nation.

He asserted that he is not convinced that even 10% of politicians, whether NDC or NPP, are genuinely interested in developing the country.

Stephen Amoah noted that many politicians are driven more by personal gain, seeking to afford their own homes, cars, and taking women to Dubai.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Stephen Amoah stated, “Politics has become an enterprise. From my observation, in my opinion, I’m not convinced that even 10% of politicians, whether NDC or NPP, are genuinely interested in developing the country; many are driven more by personal gain, seeking to afford their own homes, cars, and taking women to Dubai”.

Are you sure NPP and NDC know the number of street children in Ghana? Citizens don’t look at some things. Let me ask you the two parties do they have any research institutions that look into Ghana’s problem?

I am NPP. To me, NPP is better than the NDC, but the two have problems. NPP is better than NDC in terms of our social issues for Ghanaians, but for almost 35 years are we been solving our problems? We don’t even know the number of street children in Ghana; we haven’t had any research institution for about 35 years or 40 years to look into our problems of unemployment, cedi, corruption”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the NPP MP’s shocking revelation stated, “People are attacking the personality that’s fine, but ignoring the truth is a major problem. If after 20 years we don’t have stable electricity, then it means none of these parties cares. That is what we need to look at and think about. Hhhmmm, only Nkrumah cared”.

One netizen added, “Make he kommot there plus ein four by one hundred liked HEAD.

He thinks he’s smart aa ma.

Wasn’t he the one crying about rescuing the country prior to the 2016 elections? What happened after they got the chance to lead this country?

He turned into Bruce Lee at some point and even told us they were going to pass the E-levy whether we liked it or not.

Ne kwasia sei”.

An X user added, “It takes only a patriotic citizen to reason with him and find details and solutions to his submission. But it’s long overdue provided his years in parliament. Anyway, nothing is late, we can still do it and get there.

People are in politics today for their selfish reasons”.

“When individuals are in government, they are completely imprisoned by the status quo. However, he is now out of confinement to spill and rant as much as he can”, a netizen noted.

One more X user wrote, “You cried on a show. We should think about the poor, we should think about the poor, but when you had chanced. You told us the e-levy and betting tax were going to transform Ghanaians ‘ lives, and the NDC wants to oppose it. Forcefully passed this neck-choking bill on us. U’r e worse”.

“This is the hardest truth, but my sincere question is, when did he realise this? Because his power is not in power today?? And lastly, wasn’t he the same person who was crying in 2016 for Ghanaians to vote for them?? May God have mercy on us all”, a Ghanaian wrote.

One last X user added, “The politicians themselves know this, that they don’t have the ordinary citizens in mind. The ordinary Ghanaian who has no job and a decent place to live will come on social media and defend these people. Hmmm”.

Adamus officials to face criminal prosecution – CEO of Minerals Commission

0

Isaac Tandoh, the Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, has announced that officials of Adamus Resources Limited will face criminal prosecution following their involvement in illegal mining activities (galamsey).

According to the CEO of the Minerals Commission, they are working with the Attorney-General to prosecute Adamus officials.

He detailed that some Chinese illegal miners got arrested at their mine, and Adamus officials went back to bail these Chinese nationals, which raises serious concerns.

Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, April 27, 2026, Isaac Tandoh stated, “So yes, the Chinese nationals got arrested, and the unfortunate thing is that Adamus officials went back to bail these Chinese nationals. So I think we don’t get the gravity of the situation”.

“If we have arrested illegal Chinese miners on your mine and you go around to go and bail them, I mean, what are you telling us as a country?” he asked.

“So that is why we said there is also a portion we’ve cancelled the lease, but there is that prosecution portion, that criminal portion that we are going to follow. We are working with the Attorney-General,” he stated.

He noted, “If your lease is gone, your lease is gone. We are not using any… It’s no longer your property, and it’s a lease. It wasn’t sold to Adamus. It belongs to the government”.

“I said we gave you a lease. It’s… we didn’t sell it to you. It’s for the government. So if you stop following rules, those leases revert back to the government,” he added.

“If your assets are fully depreciated, they get back to the government. Those that are not fully depreciated, we work through the numbers, and if there should be compensation, we will deal with that,” he said.

The development comes on the heels of the government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, revoking the mining lease of Adamus Resources.

On Sunday, April 26, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources made this announcement.

The Land Ministry’s actions follow investigations by the Minerals Commission.

According to the  Land Ministry,  Adamus Resources’ mining lease was revoked for engaging in illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.

The Lands Ministry detailed that the decision was based on findings that Adamus engaged in unauthorised mining operations and multiple regulatory breaches.

These multiple regulatory breaches include subcontracting mining activities without ministerial approval in violation of Section 14 of the Minerals and Mining Act, operating without approved mining plans and permits from the Chief Inspector of Mines, and failing to secure required environmental approvals.

Also, the investigations claimed the involvement of foreign nationals in illegal mining activities, operations outside approved concession areas, and significant environmental damage, including threats to water bodies and ecosystems.

They further cited the severity of the violations, adding that the Minister acted on the recommendation of the Minerals Commission under Section 100(2) of Act 703, stating that the revocation was necessary in the public interest.

“In view of the gravity and deliberate nature of these breaches… immediate revocation of the mineral rights is warranted in the public interest,” the Ministry said.

According to the Lands Ministry, the decision does not prohibit possible criminal prosecution of the company, its directors, and management, adding that measures would be taken to protect affected workers.

The Lands Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to tackling illegal mining and enforcing strict compliance across Ghana’s mining sector.

Meanwhile, Adamus Resources Limited has rejected the government of Ghana through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, announcing a revocation of the company’s mining leases following investigations by the Minerals Commission.

According to Adamus Resources Limited, the decision was taken without due process and is based on allegations, maintaining that it operates as a duly licensed entity under valid permits issued within Ghana’s regulatory framework.

The company also raised concerns about what it described as a breach of due process, highlighting that it was neither formally notified of the allegations nor allowed to respond.

In a statement, Adamus Resources Limited revealed it had taken note of the revocation of its leases covering the Akango, Salman, and Nkroful concessions and was responding “in the interest of accuracy and public clarity.”

The statement stated, “The company strongly rejects the allegations that have been cited as the basis for the revocation and states that they do not reflect the true facts surrounding its operations”.

“The company was not formally notified of the specific allegations and was not afforded the opportunity to address the same as required by the mining laws of Ghana,” it stated, adding that the move undermines “established principles of fairness and administrative justice”.

“The company categorically denies any involvement in illegal mining activities or unlawful subcontracting,” it said, adding that it remains committed to “strict adherence to Ghana’s laws and regulations.”

They further disclosed that they are engaging relevant authorities to resolve the matter and are confident that “a full and fair examination of the facts will demonstrate its compliance with applicable law.”

Adamus further signalled its intention to take all necessary steps to protect its legal rights, adding that they are maintaining constructive engagement with stakeholders.

RNAQ and ex-wife both established Quick Credit after their marriage – Lawyers for Joana Quaye

Lawyers for Joana Quaye have refuted allegations made by her ex-husband, businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ), during an interview with Delay, labelling the claims as “substantially untrue”.

According to Joana Quaye’s Lawyers, Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s self-serving ex post facto interview with ‘Delay’ cannot change the fact, arguing that the interview was a publicity stunt.

Lawyers for Joana Quaye detailed that the allegations made by RNAQ unfairly castigated the reputation and integrity of their client, Joana Quaye.

The lawyers detailed that the marriage between the parties in 2010 soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns now) is a matter of public record – record of proceedings of the High Court, Accra dated 13th March, 2024 – and cannot be changed by a self-serving ex post facto interview with “Delay”.

They further disclosed that of the joint establishment of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011 by the couple after their marriage, with both Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Joana Quaye being the original shareholders.

They further urged the public to disregard the wild and unfounded claims of “richness before marriage” made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye, adding that their client will surely get justice for the wrongs and abuses she has suffered one fine day.

In a statement issued on Monday, April 27, by the law firm Messrs. Dame & Partners, the legal read, “The attention of the firm of Messrs. Dame & Partners has been drawn to a media interview granted by Mr Richard Nii Armah Quaye to a broadcaster, Deloris Frimpong Manso, also known as “Delay” on her show dubbed the “Delay Show” featured on a number of television stations in Ghana and widely circulated on the worldwide web. We hold the instructions of our client, Joana Quaye, to react as follows:

1. We note that the said interview was granted by Richard Nii Armah Quaye during the pendency of an appeal filed against the “Final Orders” of the High Court, Accra dated 20th January, 2026. In the interview, Mr. Quaye made allegations, which are all substantially untrue, relating to certain matters in contention between the parties to proceedings actively pending before the Court of Appeal. The allegations also unfairly castigated the reputation and integrity of our client, Joana Quaye,

2. Whilst denying all the allegations made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye as untrue, We state that the fact of the marriage between the parties in 2010 soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns now) is a matter of public record – record of proceedings of the High Court, Accra dated 13th March, 2024 – and cannot be changed by a self-serving ex post facto interview with “Delay”.

3. Similarly, the record of the joint establishment of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011 by the couple after their marriage with both Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Joana Quaye being the original shareholders, the subsequent secret and illegal transfer of Joana Quaye’s shares by Richard Nii Armah Quaye without the knowledge of our client, the use of Quick Credit to acquire properties and set up other companies, are also matters of public record and documented in court proceedings. This cannot be altered by Richard Nii Armah Quaye through a media interview with “Delay”.

4. We note that Richard Nii Armah Quaye granted the interview to “Delay” whilst the appellate proceedings in the Court of Appeal are active. We consider this as an effort to unfairly prejudice the minds of the public against our client and undermine and impede a fair administration of justice in the case. The appeal filed by Joana Quaye was duly served on Richard Nii Armah Quaye about two weeks ago, with the record of appeal subsequently settled in accordance with the rules of court. Mr Quaye’s illicit motive to obstruct the course of justice with the publication of prejudicial statements in the media is all too glaring.

5. Our client, Joana Quaye, will continue to maintain her silence and place her faith in the justice system of Ghana in the hope that she will get justice for the wrongs and abuse inflicted on her by Richard Nii Armah Quaye, as well as an equitable distribution of all the properties acquired during the marriage between the parties, as required under the laws of Ghana.

6. We entreat the public to disregard the wild and unfounded claims of “richness before marriage” made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye (highlighted by his claim of alleged ownership of a VW Passat), as well as the attacks on the reputation of our client, as a mere publicity stunt. Joana Quaye will surely get justice for the wrongs and abuses she has suffered one fine day. ENDI!!”

Their rebuttal comes after RNAQ had claimed 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.

Speaking in an interview with Delay, circulating on social media on April 24, 2026, Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.

I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.

Man awarded GH¢800,000 compensation after wrongfully spending 19 years in prison

0

A Ghanaian bar owner who was wrongfully convicted has been awarded compensation of GH¢800,000 by the Supreme Court after wrongfully spending 19 years in prison.

Yaw Appiah, a 48-year-old Ghanaian bar owner, was awarded GH¢800,000 in compensation by the Supreme Court after being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned.

Reports suggest that Appiah was initially acquitted and discharged by the Court of Appeal in 2025 after serving years in prison for an offence he did not commit.

Yaw Appiah was convicted in 2011 and handed a 45-year sentence for robbery. When he was 29 years old, he had already spent five years on remand following his arrest in 2006.

After his acquittal, his lawyers, Augustine Obour and Claudia Coleman, filed an application at the Supreme Court seeking compensation of GH¢2,020,800.

However, the prosecution, led by Principal State Attorney Nana Adoma Osei, argued for a lower amount, proposing between GH¢75,000 and GH¢100,000.

A five-member panel of the Supreme Court, presided over by Justice Avril Lovelace-Johnson, fixed the compensation at GH¢800,000, citing the legal principle in the Dodzi Sabbah case.

The Supreme Court panel also included Justice Prof Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu, Justice Samuel Asiedu, Justice Yaw Darko Asare, and Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo.

In a post shared by SIKAOFICIAL, read, “Yaw Appiah, a 48-year-old Ghanaian bar owner, has been awarded GH¢800,000 in compensation by the Supreme Court after being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned.

He spent 19 years in custody for a robbery offence he did not commit, following his arrest in 2006 and subsequent 45-year sentence in 2011. His conviction was overturned by the Court of Appeal in 2025, which described the case as a grave miscarriage of justice.

After his acquittal, his legal representatives pursued over GH¢2 million in damages. However, the Supreme Court, applying established legal principles, determined that GH¢800,000 constituted appropriate compensation”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the developments stated, “If the Court of Appeal can call this a grave miscarriage in 2025, what exactly were the judges doing in 2011 when they handed a man a 45-year sentence for something he didn’t do”.

One X user added, “The court that wrongfully convicted him faces zero consequences. That’s not compensation, that’s a receipt”.

“It’s pathetic and very insulting. For all the painful years with unimaginable emotional trauma, back in prison for a crime you definitely know did not commit? And with all the wasted years. GHS800,000.00 is just not enough”, one X user added.

One netizen who took out his calculator wrote, “19 years. For a crime he didn’t commit. 

GH¢800,000 for 19 years = GH¢42k per year. GH¢115 per day for wrongful imprisonment. 

Is that justice? Or just legal paperwork? 

No money can buy back time. But Ghana owes him more than cash. We owe him reform”.

Ntim Fordjour’s lawyers chase Angel Maxine to retract and apologise alleged ‘gay’ claims

Rev John Ntim Fordjour, Legal counsel, has given social media personality Angel Maxine a seven-day ultimatum to retract and apologise for alleged defamatory claims.

According to Kwesi Botchway Jnr, a lawyer for Assin South MP,  the allegations circulated on TikTok, Instagram, and X by Angel Maxine, which suggested that the MP is gay and had sexual relations with the trangender, are completely false.

In letter dated Monday, April 27, 2026, and signed by Botchway read, “We make reference to your vile and defamatory material of and concerning our client which you published, and/or caused to be disseminated multiple times worldwide through the deliberate use of widely accessible digital platforms, including Instagram, TikTok and Twitter (X), falsely asserting as fact that our client is gay and has had sexual intercourse with you.”

“These statements are categorically denied, are entirely without factual foundation and were made recklessly, maliciously, and with a complete disregard for the truth,” it added.

“Our Client has boldly stated that you are a complete stranger to him. He has at no material time met, seen, communicated with, associated with or engaged in sexual intercourse or any form of sexual contact with you. Your assertion is an improvisation of your wild imagination, and that he has never been involved in the dirty act of intimacy with a fellow man or any indecent sexual activity,” the letter stated.

The statement further added, “Your vile and unguided statements culminated with the flagrant abuse of digital publishing platforms have exposed our client to public ridicule, contempt, and opprobrium, and have caused substantial and ongoing damage to our client’s personal and professional standing”.

“We have the full instructions of our Client to demand you immediately and permanently cease and desist from making any further defamatory statements about our Client,” it demanded.

“Take notice and notice is hereby given that if you fail, refuse and/or neglect to comply with the terms of this letter, seven (7) clear days from 27th April, 2026, our Client shall seek legal redress without further recourse to you,” it stated.

Meanwhile, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, the New Patriotic Party MP for Assin South, has boldly rejected the allegation of an alleged relationship with transgender musician Angel Maxine.

According to Ntim Fordjour, he has never engaged in any such act, as his beliefs aligned with relations ordained between Adam and Eve.

Speaking during deliberations on the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, on Thursday, April 23, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour stated, “Maxine, in her old or present life, contrary to her claim that she has had intercourse with me, I have never engaged in any such act.”

Ntim Fordjour’s remarks come after Samuel Nartey George cited the allegations during a clause-by-clause consideration of the Bill by the Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs of Parliament.

According to Sam George, “Individuals who publicly identify as part of the LGBTQ community could face prosecution if the bill is passed into law.”

He further suggested,  “could face prosecution under the proposed law for allegedly presenting himself as a member of the LGBT community and promoting such conduct.”

“He now claims that he is having sexual intercourse with Hon. Ntim Fordjour and that Hon. Ntim Fordjour is his gay lover. That person is making such claims. Why are we saying that this individual is not prosecutable?” he questioned.

Earlier, Rev John Ntim Fordjour rejected allegations suggesting he is part of the LGBTQ+ community.

According to Rev Ntim Fordjour, it is never true that he is gay.

He further quizzed if he was gay, why would I champion the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill that seeks to criminalise the activities?

Speaking in an interview on Okay FM’s Adea Akyea Abia on April 19, 2026, Rev Fordjour stated, “That guy making the accusations is a man turning himself into a woman.

“Such a person is the one making these allegations against me. It is never true that I am gay. If I were gay, why would I champion the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill? Have you ever seen an armed robber calling for laws to arrest robbers? What he is saying is never true.”

A young Ghanaian soldier has died in a tragic motorcycle accident in Wa.

The Ghanaian soldiers have been identified as Abdul-Rahman Suhuyini, who was stationed at the 10th Mechanised Battalion in Wa.

Reports suggest the tragic incident happened on Saturday, April 25, 2026.

In a post shared by SIKAOFFICIAL on X, he wrote, “ A young Ghanaian soldier stationed with the 10th Mechanised Battalion in Wa, Abdul-Rahman Suhuyini, has reportedly died in a tragic motorcycle accident on Saturday, 25th April 2026.

He is described by many as an ardent football lover who played with some local youth teams before his recruitment into the Ghana Army”.

Reports suggest Abdul-Rahman Suhuyini was a former student of Yendi Senior High School.

Yakubu Daney Iddrisu Mion, a former classmate, in a tribute shared on Facebook wrote, “He was my classmate back at Yendi Senior High School in Arts ‘A’ class around 2013. We later all joined the security services in service to God and the Motherland, Ghana. His passing is deeply saddening.”

Meanwhile, some Ghanaians reacting to the news stated, “What a tragedy? Soo young and hopefully with a lot of dreams and aspirations for himself and his community.

May his soul rest in perfect peace”.

One netizen added, “For me, if anyone dash me motorcycle, I will sell i don’t i don’t like motorcycle”.

In related news, two police officers have reportedly died following a road accident on the Ofoase–Ayirebi road.

The deceased officers have been identified as G/LCpl. Anti Isaac and G/Const. Thomas Allonyor were said to be riding a motorbike when it collided with a packed tricycle.

Reports suggest the officers were off duty at the time of the collision, which reportedly resulted in their deaths.

According to reports, Lance Corporal Anti died instantly at the scene; however, Constable Thomas, who sustained serious injuries and was bleeding heavily, was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at the Brenase Health Centre for medical attention.

The information gathered suggests the owner of the tricycle fled the scene after realising that the victims were police officers.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident.

Mineworkers Union rejects gov’t local contract mining directive

0

The Mineworkers Union has rejected the local contract mining directive by the Ghana Minerals Commission.

Reports suggest Ghana’s Minerals Commission has set December 2026 as a deadline for mining companies to shift operations to local firms.

Sources and documents say the mining companies’ failure to comply with these directives could result in fines and mine shutdowns.

However, Newmont, AngloGold and Zijin have all requested extensions, but the regulator rejected, sources and documents say.

The Mineworkers Union have argue multinationals offer better conditions of service, respect workers’ rights and comply consistently with legal obligations.

In a post by Joy FM, the Mineworkers Union were quoted to have said, “Mineworkers Union rejects local contract mining directive, argues multinationals offer better conditions of service, respect workers’ rights and comply consistently with legal obligations”.

According to a Reuters report, “Ghana’s mining regulator has given international companies Newmont, ‌AngloGold Ashanti and Chinese-owned Zijin until December 2026 to shift mining operations over to local contractors or face sanctions, according to five sources with direct knowledge of the matter and documents”.

The Reauter report added, “The three companies currently operate the mines with their own staff. They are the only ones still doing so after many firms outsourced mining operations ahead of Ghana, Africa’s top gold ​producer, revising local ownership rules in January 2025 and requiring all miners to switch to contract mining.

Under the rules, surface mining must ​be undertaken by fully Ghanaian-owned firms, while underground mining must be carried out by companies with at least ⁠50% Ghanaian ownership.

Apart from Newmont, Zijin and AngloGold Ashanti’s smaller Iduapriem gold mine, almost all large miners in Ghana have already transitioned to ​contract mining, two government officials and three mining executives said.

African governments have been tightening mining rules to extract more revenue against a backdrop of rising prices ​for minerals and metals produced. Mali ended a nearly two-year standoff with Barrick in November over enforcement of its new mining code”.

They further reported that Ghana’s Minerals Commission has asked Newmont, AngloGold and Zijin to fully comply with the contract mining requirements by December 2026.

In separate letters sent to the companies in October and January, reporters are reporting that the companies had separately requested extensions to allow full compliance.

However, the regulator has warned that miners who failed to meet ​the deadline could face sanctions, the letters showed.

“Zijin’s Ghana unit said it has been engaging with the Minerals Commission since November 2025 to comply with the ‌local content ⁠rules, including preparing tenders and technical frameworks for a shift to contract mining, while rolling out new technologies that require initial benchmarking before a full tender process.

Newmont and AngloGold did not immediately respond to requests for comment”, the report added.

“It is too early to call for a load shedding timetable” – ECG tells Ghanaians

0

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has told Ghanaians calling for a load shedding timetable that it is too early.

 According to the ECG, the recent power disruptions are due to the fire outbreak at the Akosombo GRIDCO substation.

He explained that engineers are working to restore the full electricity supply.

Speaking on Channel One Newsroom on Sunday, April 26, Dr Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku, ECG’s General Manager for External Relations, explained, “After Akosombo, the fact is that it blocked about 1000 megawatts, but I am sure you also understand that even after losing 1000 megawatts, we have still been consistent with power supply within some parts of the country”.

“The question is, the current situation at the Akosombo GRIDCO substation is a work in progress. As I speak to you, there is a resolution; there are some of the issues that have been resolved, some parts of the country are back on full supply pending other lines that will be restored,” he stated.

Dr Charles Nii Ayiku Ayiku  added, “So if we start talking about a load shedding timetable right now, don’t you think it is too early to call for a load shedding timetable?”

“The engineers have assured us that very soon we are getting back on supply. I would once again urge the general public and our customers to remain calm and be assured that the situation is under control,” he said.

“I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience our cherished customers are facing. The incident wasn’t expected. It was a major incident which has rendered the entire control room affected and down, and we sincerely apologise to our customers,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, spokesperson, Richmond Rockson, has revealed that the Akosombo Dam has been completely shut down.

According to Richmond Rockson, the development follows the fire outbreak at the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) substation at Akosombo.

John Abdulai Jinapor highlighted that the fire caused massive damage to critical infrastructure at the substation, explaining that the mage disrupted operations and forced authorities to temporarily shut down the Akosombo Dam.

Speaking in an interview with Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, April 27, the Energy Ministry spokesperson, Richmond Rockson, explained, “The switch yard, which is at the Akosombo Substation, is completely burnt down and it is not salvageable. The primary control room for the switch yard is completely gone. It was even difficult for us to walk there when we got there to assess the situation.

“And when that happened, we had to shut the Akosombo Dam completely, and so that is what caused the outages in many parts of the country as we are seeing. Because Akosombo is a major component when it comes to our power generation.”

On Thursday, April 23, the fire incident reportedly occurred at 2:01 p.m. when the substation, a vital installation within Ghana’s electricity transmission network, was suddenly engulfed by flames.

Also, Richmond Rockson has announced that Ghana has lost 1,000MW of power generation due to a fire outage at the Akosombo Dam.

In a post he wrote, “We have lost over 1,000MW of power generation due to a fire outage, which has led to the shutdown of the Akosombo Dam. Engineers are actively working to restore the power supply as quickly as possible. 

Please bear with us as we work through this situation. We appreciate your patience and understanding”.

“I feel the emotional torture” – NDC man cries over being neglected by party

0

Gabby Asumin, a Veteran National Democratic Congress (NDC) communicator, has cried out over being neglected by his party and the current John Mahama government.

According to Gabby Asumin, despite his long years of service to the NDC, he has been sidelined both during opposition and now in government.

He disclosed that he feels emotionally tortured and sometimes cries.

Gabby Asumin further disclosed that one of his children quizzed him on what he had done to the NDC party and the president, for them to ignore him.

Speaking in an interview on Adom FM, the NDC man stated, “Before the government lost in 2016, I was sacked because I spoke for the NDC. Till now that our government has come to power, I was hoping to get something to take care of my family, but nothing. I was in opposition with no work, and now that I am in government, still no work”.

“I feel the emotional torture. Sometimes I cry. One of my children asked me what I have done to the NDC party and the president that they have ignored me. I have served the party for long,” he said.

Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has called on party members who are yet to receive political appointments to remain calm and committed to the party’s long-term vision.

Asiedu Nketia quizzed the NDC member if one did not get an appointment when the government had 120 ministers, what are their chances of getting a position when the government is now running on 60 ministers.

He, however, acknowledged the disappointment among some party faithful but urged them to adopt a long-term perspective.

The NDC chairman emphasised that benefits in politics are not always immediate or evenly distributed.

Speaking in a video shared by TV3 on April 21, 2026, Asiedu Nketiah stated, “And when President Mahama suggested reducing ministers from 120 to 60, we were all clapping”.

“If you didn’t get an appointment when the government had 120 ministers, what is your chance of getting a position when we now have 60 ministers?” he asked.

He further added, “I beg you, those who do not have an appointment, those who feel disappointed, in politics, you may join, but your benefit will not come at the same time as others.

“Some may not benefit directly from joining the NDC, but your children may benefit in the future. There are others who will get their benefit today, but in future their children will not get any benefit”.

“If you say because you were not appointed, you will undermine those who were, then you will be destroying the party and all of us,” he cautioned.

Earlier, Johnson Asiedu Nketia told disgruntled party members that President John Mahama cannot appoint everyone.

According to Asiedu Nketia, appointments under the current Mahama administration are limited; however urged party supporters who are yet to receive appointments to remain calm and exercise patience.

The NDC National Chairman further stressed that it is practically impossible to appoint all deserving members at the same time, citing the constitutional restrictions placed on the president’s appointment.

Asiedu Nketia further urged party members to avoid resorting to anger or public criticism and to use internal channels to seek redress for their grievances.

Speaking during his Thank You Tour at Winneba in the Effutu Constituency on Thursday, February 12, Asiedu Nketia, stated, “I am aware that some of you are unhappy because you did not get to be appointed to any position upon our return to power. This is understandable. It is the reason why I am embarking on this ‘Thank You Tour’, to explain issues for your understanding

“The challenge is that, given the number of appointments that the constitution permits President Mahama to make, not all members of the NDC can be taken care of. So be patient. There is no need to be angry with the party.”

“You have elected a good president who is doing a good job. Everyone acknowledges this fact, including some members of the opposition. So, I urge you to be patient with the government. If you have any concerns that have not been addressed yet. There is time for everything. Your concerns will be addressed. All you need to do is to channel them through the right quarters and it will be resolved,” he assured.

Disregard RNAQ’s wild and unfounded claims of richness before marriage – Lawyers for Joana Quaye

Lawyers for Joana Quaye have told the Ghanaian public to disregard their client’s ex-husband, businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s ‘RNAQ’ wild and unfounded claims of wealth before marriage.

According to the Lawyers for Joana Quaye, their client will surely get justice for the wrongs and abuses she has suffered one fine day.

The lawyers detailed that the marriage between the parties in 2010 soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns now) is a matter of public record – record of proceedings of the High Court, Accra dated 13th March, 2024 – and cannot be changed by a self-serving ex post facto interview with “Delay”.

In a statement issued on Monday, April 27, by the law firm Messrs. Dame & Partners, the legal read, “The attention of the firm of Messrs. Dame & Partners has been drawn to a media interview granted by Mr Richard Nii Armah Quaye to a broadcaster, Deloris Frimpong Manso, also known as “Delay” on her show dubbed the “Delay Show” featured on a number of television stations in Ghana and widely circulated on the worldwide web. We hold the instructions of our client, Joana Quaye, to react as follows:

1. We note that the said interview was granted by Richard Nii Armah Quaye during the pendency of an appeal filed against the “Final Orders” of the High Court, Accra dated 20th January, 2026. In the interview, Mr. Quaye made allegations, which are all substantially untrue, relating to certain matters in contention between the parties to proceedings actively pending before the Court of Appeal. The allegations also unfairly castigated the reputation and integrity of our client, Joana Quaye,

2. Whilst denying all the allegations made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye as untrue, We state that the fact of the marriage between the parties in 2010 soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns now) is a matter of public record – record of proceedings of the High Court, Accra dated 13th March, 2024 – and cannot be changed by a self-serving ex post facto interview with “Delay”.

3. Similarly, the record of the joint establishment of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011 by the couple after their marriage with both Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Joana Quaye being the original shareholders, the subsequent secret and illegal transfer of Joana Quaye’s shares by Richard Nii Armah Quaye without the knowledge of our client, the use of Quick Credit to acquire properties and set up other companies, are also matters of public record and documented in court proceedings. This cannot be altered by Richard Nii Armah Quaye through a media interview with “Delay”.

4. We note that Richard Nii Armah Quaye granted the interview to “Delay” whilst the appellate proceedings in the Court of Appeal are active. We consider this as an effort to unfairly prejudice the minds of the public against our client and undermine and impede a fair administration of justice in the case. The appeal filed by Joana Quaye was duly served on Richard Nii Armah Quaye about two weeks ago, with the record of appeal subsequently settled in accordance with the rules of court. Mr Quaye’s illicit motive to obstruct the course of justice with the publication of prejudicial statements in the media is all too glaring.

5. Our client, Joana Quaye, will continue to maintain her silence and place her faith in the justice system of Ghana in the hope that she will get justice for the wrongs and abuse inflicted on her by Richard Nii Armah Quaye, as well as an equitable distribution of all the properties acquired during the marriage between the parties, as required under the laws of Ghana.

6. We entreat the public to disregard the wild and unfounded claims of “richness before marriage” made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye (highlighted by his claim of alleged ownership of a VW Passat), as well as the attacks on the reputation of our client, as a mere publicity stunt. Joana Quaye will surely get justice for the wrongs and abuses she has suffered one fine day. ENDI!!”

Meanwhile, Ghanaian TikToker Trouble Carlos has expressed his disappointment with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, commonly known as Delay, following her interview with Ghanaian business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ.

According to the TikToker Trouble Carlos, he is disappointed with Delay, highlighting that Richard Nii Armah’s wife approached Delay first for an interview, but she refused.

He revealed that Delay claimed she did not want to get involved in their issue, but later gave RNAQ her platform to come and defend himself, and in defending himself, a lot of questions were left out.

Their rebuttal comes after RNAQ had claimed 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.

Speaking in an interview with Delay, circulating on social media on April 24, 2026, Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.

I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.

“I’m disappointed in Delay” – TikToker rants on “PR” interview with RNAQ

Ghanaian TikToker Trouble Carlos has expressed his disappointment with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, commonly known as Delay, following her interview with Ghanaian business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ.

According to the TikToker Trouble Carlos, he is disappointed with Delay, highlighting that Richard Nii Armah’s wife approached Delay first for an interview, but she refused.

He revealed that Delay claimed she did not want to get involved in their issue, but later gave RNAQ her platform to come and defend himself, and in defending himself, a lot of questions were left out.

Speaking in an interview shared on TikTok, TikToker Trouble Carlos detailed, “I am not going to lie, I am kinda disappointed in Delay, because of the things I have heard that even Richard Nii Armah’s wife approached Delay first for an interview, but she refused. Apparantely delay said, she did not want to get involved in their issue, but all of a sudden, Delay is giving the man a platform to come and defend himself, and in defending himself, a lot of questions were left out. This evening I will talk to my sister again, whatever the case, the public will know. It is just sad, the industry, maybe you guys are just there to support the truth or … it is two things, either you are in or you are out.

Because watching the interview, anyone who knows Delay will know there was something wrong, and it is bad”.

He further detailed that the RNAQ interview was staged, adding that the two-hour interview was with empty questions.

He stressed that for the first time, Delay couldn’t press her interviewee, alleging that the interview was calculated as the host opted to leave out loads of questions.

TikToker Trouble Carlos added, “I have watched Richard Nii Armah and Delays’ interview fully. When I watched the interview, I had a whole load of questions to ask. Two hours of an interview with empty questions.

This is a first-time delay that couldn’t push the person to ask the person the questions she wanted to ask.  Or is it because the question being asked was really calculated?

Where are we here when the news dropped that there is evidence that Richard Nii Armarh evicted the woman from his home? Delay could not ask the reason why he opted to evict her from the house”.

He further added, “The car he gifted her, he went back for it, Delay rather choose to ask if he will buy a car for his ex-wife. There were a whole lot of questions; it was more like this interview was planned to make Richard Nii Armah look good. Even with that, if you are open-minded and you watch the interview, there was a whole lot of contradiction during the interview.

Anyone who has watched my interview with the sister, the things she said were the same things Richard Nii Armah also repeated, but the difference was that the lady was taken out of the picture for it to look like he hustled alone to make it”.

Meanwhile, RNAQ in the interview with Delay finally broke his silence over the brouhaha surrounding his divorce with her ex-wife, Joana Quaye.

According to RNAQ, 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.

Speaking in the interview with Delay, circulating on social media on April 24, 2026, Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.

I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.

Also, RNAQ refuted claims that he never physically abused his ex-wife.

According to RNAQ, he cannot even beat his children, let alone beat his wife, adding that he has never beaten his wife before.

RNAQ stated, “I can’t even beat my children, not to even beat my wife. I have never beaten my wife before.”

“I have seen that video circulating, which talks about me beating my wife, and, as I said, there is a clear agenda on me. I don’t know where they got that video from,” he stated.

He added, “In today’s world, people can even do makeup that looks like someone has been beaten. Second, she may have had an encounter with someone and gotten a swollen face and used it as a video. Because you see, that purported video that I saw, people believe in it, there were none of me in that video.”

“I keep watching the video, and I asked myself, does it mean anyone who comes to make allegations about me or accuse me would be believed? How can we live in a society like this? This is cruelty. I think anyone who believed her by watching that video where I did not show up and made a conclusion has made a great injustice to me.”

This is a first-time delay that couldn’t push the person to ask the person the questions she wanted to ask.  Or is it because the question being asked was really calculated?

Where are we here when the news dropped that there is evidence that Richard Nii Armarh evicted the woman from his home? Delay could not ask the reason why he opted to evict her from the house”.

He further added, “The car he gifted her, he went back for it, Delay rather choose to ask if he will buy a car for his ex-wife. There were a whole lot of questions; it was more like this interview was planned to make Richard Nii Armah look good. Even with that, if you are open-minded and you watch the interview, there was a whole lot of contradiction during the interview.

Anyone who has watched my interview with the sister, the things she said were the same things Richard Nii Armah also repeated, but the difference was that the lady was taken out of the picture for it to look like he hustled alone to make it”.

Trouble Carlos added, “I am not going to lie, I am kinda disappointed in Delay, because of the things I have heard that even Richard Nii Armah’s wife approached Delay first for an interview, but she refused. Apparantely delay said, she did not want to get involved in their issue, but all of a sudden, Delay is giving the man a platform to come and defend himself, and in defending himself, a lot of questions were left out. This evening I will talk to my sister again, whatever the case, the public will know. It is just sad, the industry, maybe you guys are just there to support the truth or … it is two things, either you are in or you are out.

Because watching the interview, anyone who knows Delay will know there was something wrong, and it is bad”.

Meanwhile, RNAQ in the interview with Delay finally broke his silence over the brouhaha surrounding his divorce with her ex-wife, Joana Quaye.

According to RNAQ, 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.

Speaking in the interview with Delay, circulating on social media on April 24, 2026, Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.

I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.

Also, RNAQ refuted claims that he never physically abused his ex-wife.

According to RNAQ, he cannot even beat his children, let alone beat his wife, adding that he has never beaten his wife before.

RNAQ stated, “I can’t even beat my children, not to even beat my wife. I have never beaten my wife before.”

“I have seen that video circulating, which talks about me beating my wife, and, as I said, there is a clear agenda on me. I don’t know where they got that video from,” he stated.

He added, “In today’s world, people can even do makeup that looks like someone has been beaten. Second, she may have had an encounter with someone and gotten a swollen face and used it as a video. Because you see, that purported video that I saw, people believe in it, there were none of me in that video.”

“I keep watching the video, and I asked myself, does it mean anyone who comes to make allegations about me or accuse me would be believed? How can we live in a society like this? This is cruelty. I think anyone who believed her by watching that video where I did not show up and made a conclusion has made a great injustice to me.”

Dumsor is not about ‘heads rolling’ – Mahama gov’t told

0

Kwasi Kwarteng, a spokesperson for Ken Agyapong’s campaign and NPP communicator, has told the John Mahama-led government that dumsor is not about ‘heads rolling’ 

His remarks follow the YEA CEO, who had boldly stated that Ghana’s recent power outages, commonly known as dumsor, will be resolved soon.

According to Malik Basintale, John Jinapor is rolling heads, which will soon solve the recent power outages.

Malik Basintale, in a Facebook post, wrote, “John Abdulai Jinapor is rolling heads…Our power issues will be restored! Super man..Kudos”.

His remarks follow: John Abdulai Jinapor, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, has ordered the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), Ing. Mark Awuah Baah, to step aside.

Ing. Mark Awuah Baah has been ordered to step aside pending investigations into a fire outbreak at the Akosombo Power Control Centre.

In an announcement made by Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, on X on Sunday, April 26, 2026, read, “Minister for Energy and Green Transition has asked the CEO of GRIDCo to step aside pending investigations into fire incident at Akosombo power control centre”.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu further disclosed that there has also been a major shake-up in the leadership of the ECG in the Ashanti Region.

His post added, “Also, there has been a major shake-up in the leadership of the ECG in the Ashanti Region”.

He further disclosed that, “ At 2 pm tomorrow, Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon John Jinapor, will hold a major briefing on recent developments in electricity distribution”.

However, Kwasi Kwarteng, an NPP communicator, stressed that dumsor has never been about “heads rolling” or administrative reshuffles.

He explained that, dumsor is fundamentally a fuel supply and financing problem within a thermal-heavy generation mix.

In a post on X, Kwasi Kwarteng wrote, “Dear Malik Basintale

Dumsor has never been about “heads rolling” or administrative reshuffles. It is fundamentally a fuel supply and financing problem within a thermal-heavy generation mix, where over 70% of capacity depends on reliable gas and liquid fuels.

The real challenge here is the persistent shortfall in fuel procurement, gas supply constraints, and deep-rooted liquidity issues in the sector and not a question of authority or leadership. In fact, you can even include Mary Awusi’s head, and dumsor will still not be solved. 

Given your proximity to the Energy Minister and your role in government, one would have expected a more informed grasp of these structural realities.

Unfortunately, you’ve been clueless and ignorant from day one!”.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition spokesperson, Richmond Rockson, has revealed that the Akosombo Dam has been completely shut down.

According to Richmond Rockson, the development follows the fire outbreak at the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) substation at Akosombo.

John Abdulai Jinapor highlighted that the fire caused massive damage to critical infrastructure at the substation, explaining that the mage disrupted operations and forced authorities to temporarily shut down the Akosombo Dam.

Speaking in an interview with Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, April 27, the Energy Ministry spokesperson, Richmond Rockson, explained, “The switch yard, which is at the Akosombo Substation, is completely burnt down and it is not salvageable. The primary control room for the switch yard is completely gone. It was even difficult for us to walk there when we got there to assess the situation.

“And when that happened, we had to shut the Akosombo Dam completely, and so that is what caused the outages in many parts of the country as we are seeing. Because Akosombo is a major component when it comes to our power generation.”

He further disclosed that it will take several months to fully rebuild the damaged Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) Akosombo Substation.

Netizen punches holes in RNAQ interview with Delay, labels it ‘PR gimmick’

A netizen on Facebook has punched holes in the Business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ interview with Delay.

In the said interview, RNAQ made a lot of revelations and finally broke his silence over the brouhaha surrounding his divorce with her ex-wife, Joana Quaye.

According to RNAQ, 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.

Speaking in the interview with Delay, circulating on social media on April 24, 2026, Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.

I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.

However, the netizen highlighted that after watching the interview, it was a PR gimmick just to manage RNAQ’s public image or do damage control.

Adding that the interview is coming out at the time the RNAQ character is questioned.

She highlighted that everything sounded like the interview was done to help RNAQ clear his name and build a good image of the good person he wanted the public to believe.

She further called for the RNAQ ex-wife to be given the same chance by being interviewed by Delay.

“I hope your ex-wife gets the chance to sit in that same seat”, the netizen stated. 

In a long post shared on Facebook, the netizen identified as Akua Yeboah wrote, “Dear Joan,

Your husband says…………

1. He was rich before he met you.

2. You were an SSS graduate.

3. You never contributed to your wedding.

4. Your career was just as a cashier even in the bank.

5. You are the reason why your kids don’t have a visa.

6. He never abused you physically, mentally, emotionally, etc .

7. You just want to destroy his name because he doesn’t financially provide for the kids.

8. You have shared custody of the kids, 4 days at your end and 3 days at his end.

9. You never wanted a settlement but rather went to court.

10. If you come begging him, he will settle with you.

11. You have been influenced by others.

12. One woman was a problem, so he is going to marry two.

13. Superstar Hajia 4 real was an artist he signed, but after business started pleasuring each other. Manager and artist relationship.

14. Hajia 4 real is now the future first wife who will agree to a co-wife.

These are coming from just a few of the videos I have chanced on, and from all indications, you were the problem in the marriage.

JOAN……. The video of him cutting to the doors whiles yourself n the kids were asleep, you staged it.

The video with your clothes in Ghana must throw them outside the roadside, was staged by you?

The video of you being prevented from entering your marital home was staged by you?

The video of you being nicely beaten with a swollen mouth and face was also staged by you?

Joan, why didn’t you take up the cashier job he offered you in his bank when he wanted to devalue you?

Joan, why did you quit your cashier job 11 plus years ago to become a stay-at-home mother?

Joan, so u know you didn’t build him, and you wanted to destroy his name?

Joan, Richard was such a good, loving husband and father, so why didn’t you continue to stay married to him n make things work?

Osikanie Richard ……… we believe you paaaaa because you are a peace maker.

In fact, your wife contributed nothing to your life; you woke up on day, and you became a millionaire. On the other hand, she never liked good things, so she decided to walk away from a kind, loving, generous husband and father.

Ayoooo, but wait, you met your current girlfriend in

2020. She came to your office with her music catalogue

You saw her potential, signed her, and after that business, she became your girlfriend who later moved in with you. At the time, you already had an issue with your wife. Interesting

You are known to have owned different kinds of businesses, including a financial firm ( quick loans) and others in which you own shares.

In 2023, your girlfriend, Hajia 4 real, was arrested for Romance scam in London and was extradited to America.

That scam was in millions of dollars…. She was lucky to have hired six-figure lawyers. A good legal team that pleaded guilty and had to pay $1,000,000 (1 million dollars) in restitution, plus served a one-year jail term and some days.

From the look of things, you waited for her; she must be some special kind of woman in your life, much more than your wife, who started life with you. Anaaa, she went to jail on your behalf??

In fact, around the time she was released, that was when you had the biggest birthday party and invited international artists, total strangers, etc., etc., in fact, that was when you outdoored yourself for public validation, approval, admiration, acceptance, attention and adoration. 

Rumours have it that you had that party to welcome your ex-con girlfriend from jail, but coincidentally met your 40th birthday grand celebrations. And ever since you both have been inseparable as a power couple.

Richard, the bank owner & Hajia 4 real ex-con Romance scammer. The question on my mind and that of many will be answered someday, but not under this post.

To have admitted to dating her on a public TV, looking at the kind of business, especially a financial firm which thrives a lot on integrity, is somewhat worrisome, but then again, it’s Ghana 🇬🇭 and Africa where ppl sleep and wake up billionaires.

And whoever dares to question sources of money is tagged as a hater or jealous……… that is another story on its own.

Osikanie Richard, did you know you were going to be polygamous in those days, or did you just find out you could actually become one after becoming rich?

How competent are you to manage two wives if you couldn’t manage one, but rather call it a problem, and you just want to compound your life with two problems at a go?

From where I sit, that interview was a PR gimmick just to manage your public image or do damage control.

Your interview is coming out at the time your character is questioned, and the platform you chose is one of the platforms that has earned the credibility of asking panellists tough and difficult questions, but in this case, it had a lot of gaps with the host’s posture. Everything sounded like the interview was done to help u clear your name and build a good image of the good person you want the public to believe.

I hope your ex-wife gets the chance to sit in that same seat.  🗣️

THERE ARE SPECIAL WOMEN MEN CAN WAIT FOR EVEN IF THEY ARE EX CONVICTS COS THEY KNOW HOW TO TAKE RISKS AND RICH MILLIONAIRE MEN LOVE SUCH WOMEN.

Having babies, cooking, cleaning, mothering, etc., are not risk-taking or help or anything, nor are they paid services. Know where to invest ok”.

“I have received a lot of threats” – Former NPP financier says after forming ‘The Base party’

0

George Oti Bonsu, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) financier, has disclosed that he has received a lot of threats following the formation of the Base party.

According to the former NPP financier who is now the founder of ‘The Base Party’, he had been cautioned against taking the NPP backwards and therefore needed to desist.

Speaking in an interview on Adekye Nsroma on UTV, George Oti Bonsu stated, “I have received a lot of threats that if I don’t take care, they would kill me because I have been taking the NPP backwards. Some people have even come out publicly to say so. I don’t want to talk about NPP people but rather the Base party. If I even die and the Base party survives, I am okay with that,” he said.

George Oti Bonsu has also stated that he would personally vote for any businessman who contests an election.

“In this country, if any businessman stands for any election, I will vote for that person. If Ibrahim Mahama, Kennedy Agyapong, or any businessman who can provide jobs for the youth contests, that person should be supported,” he stated.

He further added, “The Base has come for the youth. We are done with life and have nothing to gain anymore, but you are the future leaders of this country”.

Meanwhile, Dr Stephen Amoah, commonly known as Sticka, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso and a member of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team, has warned that ‘The BASE’ party could bring down the NPP.

Sticka advised that the elections are over, so disgruntled NPP members should come together and sacrifice for the NPP instead of breaking away to form a new party.

He further detailed what the former MP told him regarding leading “ The Base party”.

According to Dr Stephen Amoah, Ken Agyapong told him he is not interested in the Base Movement.

Sticka also cautioned that breaking away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would be a wrong move.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Dr Stephen Amoah stated, “The BASE could bring down the NPP. I will advise everyone that we are done with the elections, so we should come together and sacrifice for the NPP. So, the Base and all those things, we should stop and work together as NPP people, because for me, there is nothing that I would not sacrifice for the NPP”.

“I have personally asked Kennedy Agyapong about ‘The Base’, and he has said he is not interested. As for me, nothing will make me leave the NPP, ” he added.

Also, Lawyer Godlove Adjei Tenkorang has advised veteran Ghanaian Actor, Agya Koo and supporters of The Base party, the former Assin Central Member of Parliament, will never join their party.

According to the lawyer, Agya Koo, and supporters of The Base party, they must stop the jokes and consider doing something more.

He highlighted that the idea of a third political force in Ghana is unrealistic within the current political landscape of Ghana.

He further asserted that one cannot use just a few years to make the NPP and NDC irrelevant.

Speaking on Angel FM, Kumasi, Lawyer Godlove Adjei Tenkorang explained, “If they are planning on having any third force in Ghana, I am sorry to tell them, there cannot be any third force in Ghana, especially not in the life of this generation”.

“It may be possible in another generation, but not now,” he clearly stated.

“Other jurisdictions like the US, South Africa, UK, and Nigeria operate largely on two dominant parties, and they have helped shape their countries over time; the same applies to Ghana, ” he added.

He added, “You cannot use just a few years to make the NPP and NDC irrelevant; it is a total joke. Their objectives are not even clear; I can even say they do not have objectives”.

“The youth do not need swimming pools to bathe in, but rather better policies to improve their lives”.

He further boldly declared that the former Assin Central MP, Ken Agyapong, will not leave the NPP to join ‘The Base’ party as they are unorganised.

“I am very sure Kennedy Agyapong will never join them, considering how unorganised they are”, he added.

I never exaggerated, I washed more than 5,000 plates – RNAQ defends his earlier claims   

0

Ghanaian businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, has explained his claim of washing 5000 plates in a hotel in the United Kingdom.

According to RNAQ, he never exaggerated, adding that he was even charitable with the 5,000 figure.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso on The Delay Show, RNAQ explained, “Some people have never travelled before. Others travelled but never worked, so they cannot relate to my narrative,” he said. “I think I was even conservative about the 5,000 figure because I washed more than that in a day.”

“There are hotels in the West with over 2,000 rooms; some even have 5,000 rooms,” he said. “Let’s say the hotel I worked in had 1,000 rooms. If occupants from those rooms come for breakfast, you’re dealing with thousands of people.”

He further added, “When you go for breakfast, how many plates do you use? A lot. And beyond that, the food has to be prepared, which also uses many dishes,” he explained. “By the time you finish preparing food for about 3,000 people, a lot of dishes would have been used—and that’s just breakfast. There is lunch as well.”

“People disputed this and were using calculators doing computations,” he said. “I’ve come to realise that a lot of people are confidently ignorant. I never exaggerated. I was even charitable with the 5,000 figure.”

Also, the Ghanaian businessman has said he is unfazed by criticism and backlash surrounding his wealth and his personal life.

According to RNAQ, good people do not lack enemies, adding that he expected people to talk about him.

He stated, “I sleep. I’m not bothered in any way. One of my principles is that good people do not lack enemies, and all winners have haters. I’ve always expected people to talk about me.”

He further asserted that his mentor, prominent businessman Osei Kwame Despite advice him that God doesn’t give wealth to anybody who cannot carry it.

“He told me that God doesn’t give wealth to anybody who cannot carry it,” Quaye said. “The fact that I’ve been given this much means I’m capable of carrying it, so I should be bold and expect whatever comes.”

In other news, RNAQ has finally broken his silence over the brouhaha surrounding his divorce with her ex-wife, Joana Quaye.

According to RNAQ, 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.

Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.

I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.

He highlighted that  Ken Agyapong is not even aware of most of the things being done within the BASE party.

Speaking in a radio interview, Agya Koo stated, “The BASE party is not exclusive to Kennedy Agyapong, and his membership in the party remains unconfirmed at this time.”

“Kennedy Agyapong has not even come out to speak on his allegiance, yet there are speculations. He is not even aware of most of the things being done within the BASE party we have set up.”

Also, Agya Koo has called for experts, professionals, and entrepreneurs to join the party from the 16 regions of the country to steer its affairs.

He added, “We need experts, professionals, and entrepreneurs on board, and we hope to get a leader after mobilising across all 16 regions”.

“The Base party is made up of youth from different political parties and social groups who have come together to put our leaders in check.” He revealed

“We are coming as a third force to make sure leaders do their bidding for the country since they have refused to listen to the voices of the youth.”

“We have not even come out to say if he is part of the party or not; we are still organising ourselves.”

Meanwhile, Lawyer Godlove Adjei Tenkorang has advised veteran Ghanaian Actor, Agya Koo and supporters of The Base party, the former Assin Central Member of Parliament, will never join their party.

According to the lawyer, Agya Koo, and supporters of The Base party, they must stop the jokes and consider doing something more.

He highlighted that the idea of a third political force in Ghana is unrealistic within the current political landscape of Ghana.

He further asserted that one cannot use just a few years to make the NPP and NDC irrelevant.

Adamus ‘fight’ gov’t denies involvement in galamsey or unlawful subcontracting

0

Adamus Resources Limited has rejected the government of Ghana through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, announcing a revocation of the company’s mining leases following investigations by the Minerals Commission.

According to Adamus Resources Limited, the decision was taken without due process and is based on allegations, maintaining that it operates as a duly licensed entity under valid permits issued within Ghana’s regulatory framework.

The company also raised concerns about what it described as a breach of due process, highlighting that it was neither formally notified of the allegations nor allowed to respond.

In a statement, Adamus Resources Limited revealed it had taken note of the revocation of its leases covering the Akango, Salman, and Nkroful concessions and was responding “in the interest of accuracy and public clarity.”

The statement stated, “The company strongly rejects the allegations that have been cited as the basis for the revocation and states that they do not reflect the true facts surrounding its operations”.

“The company was not formally notified of the specific allegations and was not afforded the opportunity to address the same as required by the mining laws of Ghana,” it stated, adding that the move undermines “established principles of fairness and administrative justice”.

“The company categorically denies any involvement in illegal mining activities or unlawful subcontracting,” it said, adding that it remains committed to “strict adherence to Ghana’s laws and regulations.”

They further disclosed that they are engaging relevant authorities to resolve the matter and are confident that “a full and fair examination of the facts will demonstrate its compliance with applicable law.”

Adamus further signalled its intention to take all necessary steps to protect its legal rights, adding that they are maintaining constructive engagement with stakeholders.

The development comes on the heels of the government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, revoking the mining lease of Adamus Resources.

On Sunday, April 26, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources made this announcement.

The Land Ministry’s actions follow investigations by the Minerals Commission.

According to the  Land Ministry,  Adamus Resources’ mining lease was revoked for engaging in illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.

The Lands Ministry detailed that the decision was based on findings that Adamus engaged in unauthorised mining operations and multiple regulatory breaches.

These multiple regulatory breaches include subcontracting mining activities without ministerial approval in violation of Section 14 of the Minerals and Mining Act, operating without approved mining plans and permits from the Chief Inspector of Mines, and failing to secure required environmental approvals.

Also, the investigations claimed the involvement of foreign nationals in illegal mining activities, operations outside approved concession areas, and significant environmental damage, including threats to water bodies and ecosystems.

They further cited the severity of the violations, adding that the Minister acted on the recommendation of the Minerals Commission under Section 100(2) of Act 703, stating that the revocation was necessary in the public interest.

“In view of the gravity and deliberate nature of these breaches… immediate revocation of the mineral rights is warranted in the public interest,” the Ministry said.

According to the Lands Ministry, the decision does not prohibit possible criminal prosecution of the company, its directors, and management, adding that measures would be taken to protect affected workers.

The Lands Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to tackling illegal mining and enforcing strict compliance across Ghana’s mining sector.

“I want to have two wives” – RNAQ

Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, a Ghanaian business magnate, has revealed he wants to marry two women.

RNAQ disclosed that he wants to have two wives with two homes.

According to RNAQ, he tried one-on-one and did not work, so he wants to try one to two, to see if it will work for him.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso on The Delay Show, RNAQ stated, “It is not true. I have heard all those things. I have heard people trying to attack Mona. When you were talking, you mentioned a lot of women’s names, but they have left all of them, and they are mentioning her name. I think it is a tactic that her lawyers have deployed.

I even feel sad for Mona because, at the time my wife was breaking up with me, we never had a Mona discussion between us. The answer I am giving you is in respond with the time”.

RNAQ further disclosed, “But I want to marry two women, I am not joking, I am serious, I have grown up to come to realise that I want to have two wives and two homes. That is what I currently believe in.

I have tried one-on-one, and it did not work, so I want to try one-on-two to see if it will work”.

Also, Richard Nii Armah Quaye has refuted claims that he physically abused his ex-wife.

According to RNAQ, he cannot even beat his children, let alone beat his wife, adding that he has never beaten his wife before.

RNAQ added, “I can’t even beat my children, not to even beat my wife. I have never beaten my wife before.”

“I have seen that video circulating, which talks about me beating my wife, and, as I said, there is a clear agenda on me. I don’t know where they got that video from,” he stated.

He added, “In today’s world, people can even do makeup that looks like someone has been beaten. Second, she may have had an encounter with someone and gotten a swollen face and used it as a video. Because you see, that purported video that I saw, people believe in it, there were none of me in that video.”

“I keep watching the video, and I asked myself, does it mean anyone who comes to make allegations about me or accuse me would be believed? How can we live in a society like this? This is cruelty. I think anyone who believed her by watching that video where I did not show up and made a conclusion has made a great injustice to me.”

Meanwhile, RNAQ in that same interview finally broke his silence over the brouhaha surrounding his divorce with her ex-wife, Joana Quaye.

According to RNAQ, 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.

Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.

I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.

Hajia4Reall is not the cause of my divorce – RNAQ

Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, a Ghanaian business magnate, has said that Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, a Ghanaian socialite-turned-musician, is not the cause of his divorce.

RNAQ disclosed that he feels sad for Mona because, at the time his wife was breaking up with him, Hajia4Reall was never discussed.

He further alleged that his ex-wife’s lawyers may have deployed those tactics because Hajia4Reall was popular.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso on The Delay Show, RNAQ stated, “It is not true. I have heard all those things. I have heard people trying to attack Mona. When you were talking, you mentioned a lot of women’s names, but they have left all of them, and they are mentioning her name. I think it is a tactic that her lawyers have deployed.

I have tried one-on-one, and it did not work, so I want to try one-on-two to see if it will work”.

However,  Hajia4Reall has been mentioned in the brouhaha surrounding the divorce of business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye and his former wife, Joana Coffie.

According to Joana Coffie, Richard Nii Armah Quaye gave their house in Trasacco to Hajia4Reall.

She also mentioned a Range Rover Velar (registration number M-2020) and a Bentley (DV 5268 E).

In the court documents, she stated, “In April 2021, the respondent deserted the marital home in Dansoman to stay with ‘Hajia4Reall’ in our Trasacco estate house. He did this after initially offering to relocate me to a new house, which I declined,” Joana Coffie stated in the document.

“In response to the claim that she denied him sexual intercourse, the petitioner contends that, for fear of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, she felt compelled to abstain from intimacy with the respondent because his womanising had become unbearable, and he was allegedly engaging in mostly unprotected relations with multiple women, including Hajia4Reall and others,” the document stated.

“She also claimed that the respondent was fond of inviting women to the East Legon house to entertain him, and he ended up engaging in intimate relations with many of them,” the document added.

In related news, Joana Quaye has hired former Attorney General Godfred Dame to appeal against a rather strange judgment of the High Court in Accra.

The High Court granted Mrs Joana Quaye only GHC300,000 out of the well-known vast fortune she built with the rich businessman.

She was married to Richard Nii Armah-Quaye for sixteen (16) years and has three (3) children with.

The information gathered suggests that RNAQ has been locked up in a bitter divorce case with Joana Quaye for the past four years.

The High Court presided over by Justice Kofi Dorgu on 20th January, 2026, in his final orders despite evidence showing that Richard Nii Armah Quaye established his famous company, Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Limited (renamed Bills Micro Credit Limited) with Joana Quaye as shareholders, out of which RNAQ built his wealth and established numerous other companies, the judge granted to the wife only one-third share of a house at Dansoman, GHC300,000 as financial provision and GHC5,000 to be paid by RNAQ each month for the upkeep of all the three children.

GRIDCo CEO ordered to step aside over Akosombo fire; netizen alleges SABOTAGE

0

John Abdulai Jinapor, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, has ordered the Executive Officer of the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), Ing. Mark Awuah Baah, to step aside.

Ing. Mark Awuah Baah has been ordered to step aside pending investigations into a fire outbreak at the Akosombo Power Control Centre.

In an announcement made by Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, on X on Sunday, April 26, 2026, read, “Minister for Energy and Green Transition has asked the CEO of GRIDCo to step aside pending investigations into fire incident at Akosombo power control centre”.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu further disclosed that there has also been a major shake-up in the leadership of the ECG in the Ashanti Region.

His post added, “Also, there has been a major shake-up in the leadership of the ECG in the Ashanti Region”.

He further disclosed that, “ At 2 pm tomorrow, Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon John Jinapor, will hold a major briefing on recent developments in electricity distribution”.

Following the news, netizens on X have alleged a plot to sabotage the Mahama government, resurfacing the NDC supporters’ concern over when they called for the removal of Ing. Mark Awuah Baah, a well-known NPP sympathiser, following President Mahama’s swearing in.

A post by the Ghana Chronicle on X stated, “Right after Mahama was sworn in, NDC supporters were calling for his removal because he is a well-known NPP sympathiser, who has even held party positions at the regional level.

As usual, he was playing politics with our electricity”.

“A die-hard NPP member working as the CEO of GRIDCo under the NDC is something I can’t understand.

The NPP would never keep a die-hard NDC member in such a position”, one more netizen added.

Meanwhile, some other netizens reacting to the development stated, “Why should you continue to wait for situations to get out of hand before actions are taken? Please, you guys should learn to be smart if you really want to transform the system”.

One X user added, “NDC party if always in government wants to be father for all, do you think if it were NPP will they allow these engineers to still be at post, the downfall of the Prof JEA Mills first team was allowing President JAK mmdce and the DCE to still be at post”.

A netizen added, “Don’t bring your dirty politics into ECG to hide your incompetence by targeting perceived NPP elements. If it is in your DNA to get rid of Ashantis in govt institutions, say so. We were told the problem emanated from Ghana Gas and later Akosombo Dam transformer, these are all lies”.

“A Country we live in bcus of some people political interest,they want the country to be destroyed. “

I say again, both the NPP and NDC must be put aside for once

I always imagine if Ghanaians had voted for a new party and all these are happening,

They would say they lack political experience”, one X user stated.

A netizen stated, “Every day, the Kwashieman enclave is always off from morning till the next day, while just a few distances away, there’s light. Kwashieman residents are bearing the brunt of power outages. We’re really tired. Achimota ECG is deliberately taking Kwashieman off the grid daily”.

One more Ghanaian wrote, “If there are truly saboteurs behind these power outages, then some people are genuinely evil. How wicked, heartless, and shortsighted can one be to deliberately sabotage something that benefits every Ghanaian, simply because your party is no longer in power? What kind of destructive nonsense have we normalised as citizens?”.

In the meantime, a spokesperson for the Energy Ministry, Richmond Rockson, has announced that Ghana has lost 1,000MW of power generation due to a fire outage at the Akosombo Dam.

In a post he wrote, “We have lost over 1,000MW of power generation due to a fire outage, which has led to the shutdown of the Akosombo Dam. Engineers are actively working to restore the power supply as quickly as possible. 

Please bear with us as we work through this situation. We appreciate your patience and understanding”.

Military personnel take over Adamus concession

0

Reports suggest that military personnel have taken over the premises of Adamus Resources Limited after the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources revoked its mining lease.

Reports by Citi News stated, “soldiers have secured the entire operational area, from the Esiama gate through to all sections of the concession, effectively placing the site under tight security control”.

The military personnel deployment comes just hours after the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources announced the revocation of Adamus’ mining leases covering the Akango, Salman, and Nkroful concessions.

On Sunday, April 26, the government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, revoked the mining lease of Adamus Resources.

The Land Ministry’s actions follow investigations by the Minerals Commission.

According to the  Land Ministry,  Adamus Resources’ mining lease was revoked for engaging in illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.

The Lands Ministry detailed that the decision was based on findings that Adamus engaged in unauthorised mining operations and multiple regulatory breaches.

These multiple regulatory breaches include subcontracting mining activities without ministerial approval in violation of Section 14 of the Minerals and Mining Act, operating without approved mining plans and permits from the Chief Inspector of Mines, and failing to secure required environmental approvals.

Also, the investigations claimed the involvement of foreign nationals in illegal mining activities, operations outside approved concession areas, and significant environmental damage, including threats to water bodies and ecosystems.

They further cited the severity of the violations, adding that the Minister acted on the recommendation of the Minerals Commission under Section 100(2) of Act 703, stating that the revocation was necessary in the public interest.

“In view of the gravity and deliberate nature of these breaches… immediate revocation of the mineral rights is warranted in the public interest,” the Ministry said.

According to the Lands Ministry, the decision does not prohibit possible criminal prosecution of the company, its directors, and management, adding that measures would be taken to protect affected workers.

The Lands Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to tackling illegal mining and enforcing strict compliance across Ghana’s mining sector.

In related news, the information gathered suggests there is a brewing grand plot by some faceless elements within the new John Mahama-led administration to capture Ghana’s entire mining sector.

It has been alleged that these faceless elements are using a certain Cabinet Minister as their puppet in this grand scheme.

Sources and documents suggest that these powerful and influential elements within the John Mahama-led government have been going after every large local mining firm and foreign mining firm in Ghana in their plots to capture Ghana’s entire mining sector to benefit just a few people and not the entire country.

It must be noted that Goldfields was taken over recently. Heath Gold, owned by Kwabena Duffuor, is facing orchestrated protests demanding their licenses to be terminated, with a newspaper headline saying, “Calls mount to terminate Heath GoldFields lease”.

Adamus is also facing similar protests, with reports by the Daily Guide stating “Tension Over Adamus Mines”

Sam Jonah, Angela List, Kwabena Duffuor, Newmont, Zijin, and AngloGold have all been attacked by these faceless individuals within the Mahama government due to their greed to capture Ghana’s mining sector to benefit themselves.

Gov’t revokes mining lease of Adamus Resources

According to the Lands Ministry, the decision does not prohibit possible criminal prosecution of the company, its directors, and management, adding that measures would be taken to protect affected workers.

The Lands Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to tackling illegal mining and enforcing strict compliance across Ghana’s mining sector.

Meanwhile, Adamus Resources reaffirms its commitment to the Nzema communities and denies allegations of leasing concessions to foreigners.

In a statement, management of the Ghanaian-owned mining company emphasized that it remains fully dedicated to addressing the concerns of local communities and will not shirk its responsibilities. The company highlighted its local ownership, noting that its status as a wholly Ghanaian enterprise should inspire national pride and constructive engagement rather than confrontation.

Adamus also strongly denied media reports suggesting that it has leased portions of its concessions to foreign nationals for mining activities. According to the company, such claims are “bereft of any grain of truth,” insisting that it has not bypassed local interests in its operations.

The company disclosed that more than 60 per cent of its workforce is drawn from communities within its operational areas—one of the highest local employment ratios in the mining sector.

Across its group of companies, Adamus says it employs over 3,000 Ghanaians and plans to increase that number as it expands operations in Nzema and other regions.

Addressing concerns over access to mining opportunities, Adamus revealed that it has allocated hundreds of acres of its concessions to local community mining groups since it began operations in 2017. Beneficiaries include the Nkroful Small Scale Mining Association, which received 25 acres, the Akomu Small Scale Mining Association with 50 acres at Nvuma, and the Apataim community, among others.

The company further alleged that the recent demonstrations were orchestrated by individuals engaged in illegal mining who posed as community representatives. It stated that prior to the protests, it had already been in discussions with stakeholders to release additional concessions to local groups as part of its community mining and social responsibility initiatives.

While acknowledging the right of individuals to express grievances, Adamus urged concerned persons to pursue lawful channels rather than resorting to confrontation.

The company reaffirmed its willingness to engage stakeholders in dialogue and to resolve legitimate concerns within the framework of the law.

Adamus Resources Limited maintained that it remains committed to fostering sustainable development and shared benefits for mining communities in the Nzema area.

Energy Minister to address Ghanaians on DUMSOR today

John Abdulai Jinapor, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, will today, Monday, April 27, at 2 pm, address the nation over the recent power outages “dumsor”.

Mahama highlighted that the interruptions are necessary to allow for critical maintenance and upgrades to ensure long-term stability.

Speaking during the Resetting Ghana tour in the Northern Region on Sunday, April 19, 2026, John Mahama stated, “These outages are not dumsor. They are necessary steps to ensure a more reliable and stable power supply for all”.

“I have never beaten my wife before” – RNAQ denies ever assaulting ex-wife

Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, a Ghanaian business magnate, has refuted claims that he physically abused his ex-wife.

According to RNAQ, he cannot even beat his children, let alone beat his wife, adding that he has never beaten his wife before.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso on The Delay Show, RNAQ stated, “I can’t even beat my children, not to even beat my wife. I have never beaten my wife before.”

“I have seen that video circulating, which talks about me beating my wife, and, as I said, there is a clear agenda on me. I don’t know where they got that video from,” he stated.

He added, “In today’s world, people can even do makeup that looks like someone has been beaten. Second, she may have had an encounter with someone and gotten a swollen face and used it as a video. Because you see, that purported video that I saw, people believe in it, there were none of me in that video.”

“I keep watching the video, and I asked myself, does it mean anyone who comes to make allegations about me or accuse me would be believed? How can we live in a society like this? This is cruelty. I think anyone who believed her by watching that video where I did not show up and made a conclusion has made a great injustice to me.”

Despite his claims, Lawyer for Mrs Joana Quaye, Godfred Dame, a former Attorney General, is chasing the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, over the status of assault and physical abuse complaints lodged against Richard Nii Armah-Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, some four months ago.

In a letter issued to the IGP with the Ministry of Interior and the Gender Minister copied in, Godfred Dame demanded to know the status of the complaint of assault and physical abuse lodged by his client, Joana Quaye, against the ex-wife RNAQ on 9th December, 2025.

Godfred Dame, in the letter, detailed how Ghanaian businessman Richard Nii Armah-Quaye kicked, slapped, punched, and whipped her ex-wife whenever she complained about his infidelity.

The former Attorney General’s law firm wrote, “We act for Ms Joana Quaye, until 20th January, 2026, the wife of Richard Nii Armah Quaye. Our client is also the mother of three children of the marriage.

Our instructions are that in reaction to persistent abuse and violence she suffered at the hands of Mr Richard Quaye, over a period of about eleven years, she was compelled to lodge a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service dated 9th December, 2025.

Our client’s complaint bordered on reprehensible instances of physical violence unleashed on her by Mr Quaye whenever our client had cause to complain about his unbridled infidelity. The alarming tendency of Mr. Richard Nii Armah Quaye to kick, slap, punch our client and whip her with his belt whenever she complained about his unrestrained infidelity is supported by video evidence and recorded in judicial proceedings instituted by our client for a dissolution of the marriage between the couple.

In a horrible show of chauvinism and to subject our client to further grave indignity and humiliation, Mr Quaye would, on certain occasions, seek to compel our client to have sex with him on returning home after spending weeks away with his mistresses at various locations. A resistance by her resulted in merciless beating and withholding of financial upkeep for the home”.

He further disclosed that his client’s complaint was referred to DOVVSU, which began an investigation, but their client is concerned about the seeming apathy and lack of interest in complaints of violence lodged against Mr Quaye.

The letter further added, “We are instructed that our client’s complaint was referred to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU), which commenced investigations.

We are further instructed that an earlier complaint lodged by our client relating to Mr. Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s brute effort to cut down (at midnight) a door to our client’s bedroom in a house at Dansoman, Accra, has been pending for the past three years, with little or no action having been taken.

Our client is seriously concerned about the seeming apathy and lack of interest in complaints of violence lodged against Mr Quaye. Whilst recognising the prerogative of your outfit to investigate matters bordering on the commission of crimes in Ghana, we implore you to, as a matter of urgency, take steps to deliver justice to our client.

The deplorable actions of Mr Richard Nii Armah Quaye violated our client’s dignity and rights as a citizen under the laws of Ghana. The manner in which the Police Service handles the complaints lodged against it has far-reaching implications for the confidence the ordinary Ghanaian woman has in the criminal justice process in cases of domestic violence and abuse”.

Dame’s letter further demanded to know the current status of the investigations into the complaints saying, “In this regard, we respectfully request you to confirm the current status of the investigations into the complaints of physical violence, abuse and other criminal conduct lodged by our client against Richard Nii Armah Quaye (including the Dansoman incident of three years ago) and steps being taken to bring the suspect to justice in accordance with the criminal laws of the Republic.

We take this opportunity to renew the assurances of our highest esteem”.

“Stop opening your mouths, if you cannot think beyond party” – Rev. Prof Mante blasts politicians 

0

Rev. Prof Joseph Obiri Yeboah, the former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has fumed over the attacks on clergymen.

The respected cleric stressed that if people cannot think beyond party, they should stop opening their mouths.

Speaking during a sermon on Sunday, April 26, at the Victory Congregation of the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Prof Mante stated, “Tell that woman we’re not afraid of her. It’s not about the party. We’re not afraid of anybody. Like the Pope said, I am not afraid of Trump’s administration… If something is a sin, it is a sin, whether it is under Akufo-Addo or under Mahama or whoever. If it is evil, it is evil,” he declared.

“You Ghanaians, you sit there and let the galamsey go on, all your children and grandchildren will die early. The thing is so evil. I don’t understand why.”

Rev. Prof Mante added, “I do remember when I was Chairman of the Christian Council, I went with the current Church of Pentecoast head, we went to the then President and told him that galamsey they should stop.

“I was the one who led the delegation. We talked and talked about it. It’s not just during this administration. It’s not about party issues at all. If people cannot think beyond party, they should stop opening their mouths… We’re not afraid of anybody, no party. We were there before there was a party,” he stressed.

His remarks come after the Ghana Free Zones Authority and a senior National Democratic Congress (NDC) member issued a stern warning to the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye.

According to Dr Mary Awusi, Apostle Eric Nyamekye’s statement is a highly political statement.

She warned that if the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost descends to that level again, they will deal with him as a politician.

Speaking in an interview on Accra FM on April 23, 2026, Dr Mary Awusi stated, “He is a man of God, so we will forgive him, but next time he shouldn’t come so low to that level.

Next time, when he stoops so low and tries to do politics, they will deal with him as a politician. I’ve shown him respect this time as a man of God, but he should know that the statement he made is a highly political statement”.

She further questioned Apostle Eric Nyamekye’s consistency of criticisms about galamsey across different political administrations.

She added, “When Nana Addo was President, if you went to the mining communities, the rivers were like mud. At that time, was he in Ghana or wasn’t he in Ghana? Did he see that or did he not see how the rivers were then?”

“So as a pastor, if the truth is there and you wouldn’t say it, and instead put aside your pastoral duties and put on a political lens to talk, then next time we will treat him as a politician,” she added.

Dr Mary Awusi’s remarks come after Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, lamented how illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, has hampered traditional water baptism.

According to Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, galamsey activities have hampered traditional water baptism in some mining communities.

He highlighted that the Church of Pentecost have now shifted to synthetic rubber pools in several districts to carry out the ordinance.

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, speaking during his State of the Church Address at the 48th General Conference on April 22, 2026, highlighted the persistent destruction of Ghana’s water.

The Chairman of the Church of Pentecost stated, “The extensive pollution of water bodies due to illegal mining has hampered traditional water baptism in some mining communities, necessitating a shift to synthetic rubber pools in several districts to carry out the ordinance,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Apostle Eric Nyamekye has addressed the comments made by Dr Mary Awusi, CEO of the Ghana Free Zones Authority and a senior National Democratic Congress (NDC) member.

According to Apostle Nyamekye, he holds no grudges, suggesting the situation ultimately brought more attention to the church and its mission.

In a post by TV3 Ghana on X stated, “Following a tearful apology from the Chief of Staff on behalf of the government, Apostle Eric Nyamekye has addressed the comments made by Dr Mary Awusi.

Apostle Nyamekye stated he holds no grudges, suggesting the situation ultimately brought more attention to the church and its mission”.

“NDC afraid of Office of the Special Prosecutor” – Paul Adom-Otchere

0

Paul Adom-Otchere, the Host of Good Evening Ghana, has said that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) are afraid of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

According to Adom-Otchere, the NDC’s posture toward the OSP is driven less by legal concerns but rather by the fear of the OSP’s perceived independence from political control.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue, Paul Adom-Otchere argued, “The reason why they are complaining about the OSP now is because of the OSP’s indicative independence from politicians. They saw the OSP do it to NPP.

“They enjoyed it. They have seen that this OSP is not shifting. He will do it to NDC, and they are afraid,” he said.

In related news, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority in parliament, at a press conference, has alleged that there are political weapons aimed at dismantling the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

According to the Minority, the legal and political actions targeting the Office of the Special Prosecutor are a coordinated effort aimed at weakening the institution.

The Member of Parliament for Gushegu and Ranking Member on Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee, Hassan Tampuli, speaking on behalf of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority at a press conference, highlighted a series of petitions, parliamentary moves and court cases as the “political weapons” aimed at dismantling the OSP.

Hassan Tampuli, addressing the press, stated, “The petitions were not serious legal instruments. They were political weapons designed to harass, delegitimise, and remove from office a public servant whose crime was that he was doing his job”.

He also alleged that the petitions submitted to President John Mahama seeking the removal of the Special Prosecutor were “coordinated and strategically timed”.

“Three referred formally to the Chief Justice. Zero prima facie case established,” he stated.

According to him, there is the “third phase” of a sustained strategy to weaken the institution through different legal channels, with a private legal practitioner challenging the constitutionality of the OSP’s prosecutorial powers.

“When you cannot kill an institution by statute, you attempt to do so through constitutional litigation,” he argued.

It will be recalled that the Accra High Court ruled that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has no authority to prosecute cases.

The High Court ruling stripped the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) of its prosecutorial powers, handing them to the Attorney General (AG) to take over all criminal prosecutions.

On Wednesday, April 15, the High Court ruling was delivered, representing a significant development in Ghana’s legal and anti-corruption landscape.

Also, the court declared that all ongoing prosecutions initiated by the OSP are null and void, a decision that immediately halts multiple high-profile and ongoing cases being tried in various courts across the country.
