Afigya Kwabre South taskforce beat Mason to a pulp

A weird video obtained by Akoma FM shows a group of seven well-built guys dressed in military uniforms thrashing a young man.

The victim of the claimed cruel conduct by the task force team, identified as John Okyere, exclusively talked on Akoma FM’s current events and politics show GhanAkoma on Wednesday, June 15 and explained that he is a mason and was working on a project site at Kodie.

“While I was working at the site, some people came in a branded pick-up truck with the Assembly’s mark stamped on the left and right sides of the truck,” he said to the show’s sit-in presenter JB. They urged me to stop working, so I decided to gather my equipment; however, they prevented me from doing so, and they jumped on me, pounding me left, right, and center.”

After hitting him, the taskforce squad left him unconscious and fled, according to the young man.

He noted that a different story might have been told if it hadn’t been for the prompt intervention of some neighboring people who expressed worry and took him to the hospital.

John Okyere also called for a prompt police inquiry in order to ensure that justice is served.

During an off-air interview, the area’s District Chief Executive, Adu Poku Christian, said that he had just come across the footage and that he would summon those responsible for appropriate sanctions.

After prior attempts failed, the Privileges Committee will summon Adwoa Safo through “relevant media.”

The Chairman of Parliament’s Privileges Committee has ordered that Adwo Safo, a Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, be summoned to appear before the Committee for her absenteeism.

The Chairman claims that the action is in compliance with Article 103 (6) of the Constitution and Standing Order 205 of Parliament.

In a news statement dated June 14, 2022, the Director of Public Affairs in Parliament, Kate Addo (APR), stated, “This comes after all attempts by the Committee to reach the Honorable Member failed.”

“The summons are part of the Committee’s work, which was referred to it by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, pursuant to Article 97(1)(c) of the Constitution and Orders 15 and 16 (1) of the Standing Orders of Parliament, for consideration and report to the House, on a member’s absence from Parliament for more than fifteen Sittings, without permission in writing to the Speaker, during the First Meeting of the Second Session of the Eight Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Shatta Wale boasts, “I single-handedly put an end to bogus prophecies in Ghana.”

Controversial Shatta Wale, a Ghanaian artiste and dancehall singer, claims to be the sole enforcer of false and doom prophecies in Ghana.

Shatta Wale was arrested by the authorities in October 2021 for fabricating a gunshot event in which he faked his own death, as readers may recall.

According to Wale, his stunt was in response to a doom prophecy by one prophet, Jesus Ahuofe, who predicted that the rapper would be shot to death in the same manner as Lucky Dube, a South African reggae icon.

The police also apprehended Prophet Jesus Ahuofe to aid with the investigation.

In December of that year, shortly after the Shatta Wale-Jesus Ahuofe saga, the Ghana Police Service issued a press statement prohibiting prophets from openly prophesying disaster without evidence.

There have been no clear doom forecasts from any prophet in the country since the Ghana Police Service issued that remark.

In this context, Shatta Wale has claimed credit for the abolition of fraudulent prophecies in Ghana.

Shatta Wale pondered why Ghanaians are always against him during a Facebook live session, despite the fact that he personally put an end to false and doom prophecies in the country.

Shatta Wale also urged music lovers not to compare him to other singers since he is in a league of his own.

“Abeg, don’t compare me to any of those your singers. Go and ask Sarkodie if he is my size. Go and ask Stoneybwoy, is he my size? Go and ask that your boy be Black Sherif, “he bragged.”

Don’t blame your misery on Satan; it was produced by politicians — Yvonne Nelson

The standard of living in Ghana has now risen to unsustainable levels. Fuel and other necessities are becoming more expensive by the day.

In a tweet, the actress stated that politicians, not Satan, should be blamed for the issues mankind is facing on Earth.

“Do you believe Satan is here on Earth to make your life difficult?” I can promise you that it’s a politician!.”

However, some people who disagreed with her views made derogatory remarks about the actress.

In response to the remarks, Yvonne Nelson stated that the people deserve to suffer because they refuse to hold politicians and those in positions of power accountable.

Police officer detained for possessing substance alledged to be Indian hemp

Sergeant Lotsu Agbeko, a police officer, was arrested for allegedly possessing Indian hemp-like compounds.

On Tuesday, June 14, the incident occurred.

When officers on duty signaled him to stop at a Police barrier at Have in the Volta Region, the officer, who is stationed at the Formed Police Unit (FPU) in Accra, refused.

As a result, the on-duty cops, Inspector Azumah Komla Justice and Felix Diameh, pursued the suspect, who was engaged in an accident on the Kpeve Mountain. He sustained an injury to his left hand.

The suspect is being treated at the Police Hospital under police guard, according to a statement made by the police on Tuesday. As soon as Sergeant Lotsu Agbeko is released, he will be brought before the court.

“From his car, police discovered 84 packets of compressed dry leaves believed to be Indian hemp. The exhibits have been kept, and the investigation is still ongoing, according to a police statement.

The two policemen have since been promoted by the Service for their role in the arrest of their coworker.

The officers were also praised by the Service for their patriotism, vigilance, and commitment to duty. The driver who loaned his car to be used in the pursuit of the suspect was praised as well.

Dampare’s Ghana Police Service is sick and needs to be healed– Sam George

The Ghana Police Service, according to Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram Sam George, is sick and in need of healing under the leadership of George Akuffo Dampare.

Police in the Ashanti Region opened fire on students at the Islamic Senior High School who were demonstrating to raise awareness about the need for speed ramps and bridges to keep them safe from speeding vehicles.

In total, 30 students were sent to the hospital after police used weapons and tear gas to strike them.

Sam George, who has been critical of the Ghana Police Service, has reacted to the incident by saying that the Ghana Police Service’s terrible performance is concerning.

According to him, the Service must sit up and ensure that their level of professionalism is at the highest level possible.

Residents of Tamale, enraged, demolish an LGBTQ+ billboard

A billboard in Tamale promoting tolerance for the lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) population has been taken down after citizens express their discontent with the billboard’s placement in the city.

“Love, tolerance, and acceptance” were written on the billboard, which used colors associated with the LGBTQ+ community. The occupants, on the other hand, had no patience for it and tore it apart in a fit of rage.

Samuel Nartey George, a leading opponent of the legalization of LGBTQ+ rights in Ghana, hailed the inhabitants, MP, youth, and elders of Tamale for their quick action.

“Salute to Tamale Central’s Youth and Elders, as well as their tireless MP, Comrade Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, for acting quickly when duty demanded in defense of our culture, tradition, and Constitution.”

We’d have the energy and zeal to tear down those nasty billboards as long as they had the money to put them up. “May Article 3 of the 1992 Constitution live long and prosper,” he wrote.

A similar billboard in Accra was also taken down when a portion of the public expressed their dissatisfaction. The elimination infuriated the LGBTQ+ community.

Ghana is a predominantly conservative country that appears to be hostile to LGBTQ+ people.

Gyakye Quayson’s injunction review was unanimously dismissed by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has denied Member of Parliament for Assin North James Gyakye Quayson’s request for a review.

The embattled politician was asking the Supreme Court to lift restraining orders issued by private person Michael Ankomah Nimfah against him.

Tsatsu Tsikata, the lead counsel for Assin North MP, urged the court to “defend the judicial integrity of this court by revisiting this decision.”

However, Ankomah Nimfah Frank Davis, the applicant’s attorney, opposed the application, claiming that the applicant had made no case that required a reconsideration of the court’s judgment.

Deputy Attorney General Diana Asonaba-Dapaah further stated that the apex court should dismiss the case since the grounds for review under Rule 54 had not been shown.

After hearing arguments from both sides, Court President Justice Jones Dotse denied the application, stating that the applicant (MP) did not meet the requirements for the court to exercise its discretion in his favor.

Justice Prof Nii Ashie Kottey and Justice Amadu Tanko, two new additions to the panel of justices, were in court on Tuesday.

Justices Jones Dotse, Agnes Dordzie, Nene Amegatcher, Mariama Owusu, Gertrude Torkornoo, Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu, and Yonny Kulendi make up the panel’s regular members.

Background

James Gyakye Quayson, the MP for Assin North, was seeking a review of the Supreme Court’s 5-2 majority verdict on April 13 that barred him from holding office as a lawmaker or performing parliamentary duties.

 Top regional officer removed, 2 others interdicted as Police acknowledge using a poor strategy.

The Ghana Police Service has admitted that there should have been a better way to deal with the incident at Kumasi Islamic Senior High School.

According to the Service, a more measured approach would have resulted in a far more significant resolution to the pandemonium, rather than the development saw in the Ashanti Region town on Monday.

As a result of this, several top police officers in the area have been arrested, including DCOP Kwasi Akomeah-Apraku, the Deputy Regional Police Commander.

At the time of the mayhem, he was serving as the Ashanti Regional Police Commander.

Two more police officers have been detained pending the outcome of the investigation.

About 25 children were sent to the hospital after police allegedly used tear gas on them as they protested frequent pedestrian collisions in front of the school.

During the protest, the victims were alleged to be members of a gang of students that stopped the Abrepo Junction-Barekese route.

The enraged students had gathered on the road in protest, demanding that speed ramps be built on that stretch of road.

All of the wounded were responding to treatment, according to Sommit Duut, Regional Director of the National Ambulance Service.

He did emphasize, however, that they did not treat any serious injury, such as gunshot wounds. Instead, he claims, the students experienced respiratory difficulty.

Dr George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), later paid a visit to the school to learn more about the situation firsthand.

The police administration was conducting investigations at the time of the visit.

Following his visit, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare informed students and school management that he would investigate the actions of police officers deployed for crowd control during the demonstration.

While speaking to the students, the IGP stated that an investigation into the matter would be done to ensure that the appropriate action is taken.

The preliminary report was released tonight. “Even though no one was struck by a bullet, the Police handling of the situation was unsatisfactory and fell short of our standard operating procedure on crowd management,” according to a statement issued by Police Director of Public Affairs Grace Ansah-Akrofi.

Nigel Gaisie is seen attempting to assault a 70-year-old landlady.

According to Kwaku Annan, host of Net 2 TV’s Seat Show, the prophet and his landlady had a furious argument over a garbage dump.

“In his attempt to beat up his landlady for trespassing on his land on June 8, 2022, he breached God’s vows. On tonight’s episode, Justice Kwaku Annan said, “We illustrate how ungodly, this false man of God is seen in the eye of the Lord.”

Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the founder and head of Prophetic Hill Chapel, was caught on camera in an altercation with his landlord.

“He claimed he’d beat up Grandma, Aunty! Gaisie, Nigel! You’re coming to bash up on my grandmother? “You’re insane,” a female voice yelled in the background.

“When the landlord protested, he became enraged and threatened to beat her to death,” Kwaku Annan continued. This man did not think that he is a Christian or that the 70-year-old woman could be his mother.”

“He (Nigel Gaisie) was given land to build on, and that is where he operates his church as I speak to you,” Kwaku Annan explained before showing the video of the altercation. The landlady did not charge you any money and gave you the land for free. You have your church building, while she has her piece. This preacher has turned the landlady’s half into a garbage dump. “
