The Chiefs and people of Nogokpo in the Ketu South Municipality have given the founder of Perez Chapel International, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare 14 days to appear before the traditional leaders.

This comes after a video of him categorising the town as the headquarters of demons in the Volta Region went viral on social media.

Earlier, the General Overseer said he had no intention to cast a slur on certain groups of people or their communities and had described “any misrepresentation or misinformation that has characterised the subsequent commentary and reportage” as unfortunate.

But the Chiefs insist that failure on the part of the man of God to appear before them would compel them to take another step of action.

According to them, the Archbishop must do the right thing after tarnishing the image of the town. 

At a press conference held in Nogokpo and read by Nufialaga, Mawufemor Nornyigbey noted that having listened to the second trending statement the Bishop made on Sunday, 28th May, 2023 he did not show any remorse, an indication that he deliberately decided to tarnish the good reputation of the people of Nogokpo.

Nufialaga Mawufemor Kobla Nornyigbey noted that, per the understanding, he explicitly meant Nogokpo is the headquarters of all wild, cruel and evil people in the Volta Region. 

He noted that based on evidence, the 1st President of Ghana, Dr Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah visited Nogokpo and sought divine assistance from the thunder deity, Torgbui Zakadza.

“That for evidence based testimony, we want to make it known to the general public that when Osagyefo Dr  Kwame Nkrumah, the 1st President, of Ghana, explored all avenues to gain independence for Ghana but couldn’t succeed, he finally visited Nogokpo and sought divine assistance from the thunder deity ,Torgbui Zakadza”  Mr Mawufemor Nornyigbey said.

He noted that the people of Nogokpo are very peaceful, tolerant and have been demonstrating a higher level of decorum and love to the neighbouring tribes, devoid of their negative tribal sentiments.

Mr Mawufemor Nornyigbey also noted that though Agyinasare’s comment is too irritating and condemnable enough to result in a direct confrontation, they still remain agents of peace. 

” His message that day was just calculated damage mechanism of the usual religious intolerance to weaken African Traditional Religion in the face of the congregation ” Mr Nornyigbey said.

Archbishop Charles Agyin-Asare, on the third day of a Summit held recently at the headquarters of Perez Chapel in Accra, preached about divine protection and the existence of evil forces.

The lives of pupils and teachers of Nandi Krom D/A school in the Krachi Nchurumu District in the Oti Region are in danger due to the deplorable state of their school structure.

The pupils are compelled to learn on stones and blocks due to lack of infrastructure to promote quality education.

During a visit to the school, Adom News observed that pupils were found learning under the mercy of the weather.

The tree shade served as classrooms for the school children and education activities came to an end whenever it rained.

Speaking to Adom News, some pupils expressed hope of becoming good leaders and officers, however, their ambitions could be shattered due to the situation, if their plight is not addressed.

The Effutu Traditional Council has called on authorities at the University of Education, Winneba, to smoke the peace pipe and ensure a smooth running of the institution.

This follows an order by a Winneba High Court for the reinstatement of some suspended officials of the University.

In a statement signed by the President of the Traditional Council, Neenyi Ghartey VII, the Council said it has taken note of the Court’s ruling on the longstanding impasse that has stained the reputation of the University.

According to the them, due to the prolonged conflict, Management of the University must take steps to end any dispute among the staff.

“The Effutu Traditional Council has been informed of the decision of the Winneba High Court in respect of reinstating some officers of the University. The fact that Council is being directed by the Court to ensure compliance, the Traditional Council looks forward to Council’s expeditious action in respect of the order without further litigation.

“In view of past turbulences which affected the image of the school and by extension Winneba, we also entreat Council to put in measures that will ensure a manifest reconciliation for peace to reign without further rancour,” portions of the statement read.

It will be recalled that in 2017, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba, Prof. Mawutor Avoke was instructed to vacate his post until a case against him and the University Council by Supi Kofi Kwayera has been determined.

The plaintiff alleged financial and procurement irregularities on the part of Prof. Avoke. He also claimed that the University Council’s mandate expired in 2013; however, the Education Ministry failed to constitute a new Governing Council.

Based on these concerns, the University interdicted Prof. Avoke and four others after it emerged that some vital documents at some offices at the centre of an ongoing investigation had disappeared. The decision by the University’s Governing Council was described by many as politically motivated.

Later on, a Fact-finding Committee that was set up to look into the matter suggested the dismissal of the named University officers in August, 2018. The Governing Council of the University then appointed Rev. Fr. Professor Anthony Afful-Broni as the substantive Vice-Chancellor for a limited period of three years.

However, on February 2, 2022, the Winneba High Court ordered the University to reinstate Prof Mawutor Avoke as the substantive Vice-Chancellor of the Institution. The Court presided over by Justice Aboagye Tandoh also charged the University to reinstate the other four principal officers who were “unlawfully” dismissed to their former grade.

The four are the Finance Officer, Dr Theophilus Senyo Ackorlie, Daniel Tetteh, Mary Dzimey and Frank Owusu Boateng. It also ruled that their salary arrears must be paid from the date they were removed from their respective positions.

Following this development, President of the Effutu Traditional Council, Neenyi Ghartey VII, in his statement expressed his well wishes to the Vice Chancellor and urged him “to be a father of all in spite of all that has happened in the past.”

A Policewoman has been crushed to death while on duty at the Gomoa Potsin checkpoint in the Central Region.

The deceased, identified as Comfort Freby, was stationed at the Gomoa Dominase Police Command and got married barely a year ago.

Police sources indicate the incident occurred at about 3:00 am on Wednesday while she was with other colleagues.

The suspect driver was reportedly driving a Toyota Fish passenger car with a registration number GS 4746-20 on top speed.

The driver, who was travelling from Accra to Cape Coast, is said to have driven through a first checkpoint despite attempts by the patrol team to stop him.

A signal, according to information gathered by Adom News‘ Kofi Adjei, was then sent to the deceased and her colleagues who were at the checkpoint ahead to be on the lookout for the driver.

However, he repeated his act and is said to have almost crashed the entire team to death but they narrowly escaped him.

Unfortunately, the vehicle veered towards where the policewoman was and killed her on the spot.

Meanwhile, the suspect driver is in police custody assisting investigations while the police have visited the bereaved family to commiserate with them.

A total of 386 suspected criminals have so far been arrested for various security infractions in the ongoing joint military operations in the Upper West, Upper East, Northern, North-East, and the Savannah Regions.

The number comprised 279 Ghanaians and 107 foreign nationals including Burkinabes, Malians, Togolese, Nigerians, and Nigeriens.

Brigadier General Emmanuel Okyere, the National Security Advisor, who disclosed this in a media briefing in Wa, said the multinational joint operation dubbed: ‘Operation Koudolgou’ was the fourth in the series since the Accra Initiative in 2017.

He noted that the main objective of the operation was to fight terrorism and transnational organised crimes within their common border to free it from both illegal and criminal activities within defined areas of operation.

Brigadier General Okyere said the operation took place in all five regions of northern Ghana and in the same areas of neighbouring Cote D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Togo.

He noted that due to the operation, there had been increased presence of security forces in the northern enclave, adding that these security activities were part of the planned programmes of the Accra initiative, which encompasses Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Niger and Togo.

“We are all aware of the terrorists’ activities in the sun regions and as the adage goes, ‘when you see that there is a fire in your neighbour’s house, you don’t wait for the fire to engulf you, but you fetch water and put it down in case the fire gets to you, you use it to quench the fire’,” he said.

The National Security Advisor said they were not waiting for any fire to get to them, but rather, they were doing whatever possible to prevent that fire from starting.

“So, all we are doing year in year out for this particular region is to prevent any terrorist attack on our land and this is a shared responsibility,” Brigadier General Okyere said.

He said they were providing a number of boreholes to about seven communities in the operational area as a social responsibility.

Brigadier General Okyere clarified that the operation was not targeted at any group of people but rather targeted at a network of criminals, adding that all their operations have been professional and intelligence-led.

The Asamankese Circuit Court has sentenced a 36-year-old farmer, Majid Seidu, to seven years imprisonment for defiling a 15-year-old girl at Oda Nkwanta.

His Honour, Abass Abubakari Adams, in his ruling said the convict will serve his jail term in hard labour.

The prosecuting officer, Detective Inspector George Oteng-Appau, said the complainant, Janet Abrokwa, is a resident of Oda Nkwanta and mother of the victim, whilst the accused is also a farmer in the same town.

He said about two weeks ago, the complainant observed that the victim was not in good condition so she inquired from the victim but she refused to tell the truth until October 24, where the victim informed her friend that she has been sexually harassed by Mr Seidu.

The friend of the victim informed the victim’s mother about the incident and upon interrogation by the complainant, the victim confirmed that he had defiled her on several occasions.

She said the convict warned her not to inform anyone after promising to give her money for trading and marry her when she grows up.

The complainant later reported the case to the Akyem Oda Police where the victim was given a medical form for examination at Oda Government Hospital.

On October 27, the police received a medical report endorsed by Dr Asuru Fouad at the Oda Government Hospital which said “on examination, she looked well but on vaginal examination, her hymen was breached indicative of penetrative sexual activity.”

The report further indicated that “urine pregnancy test, syphilis, hepatitis B and HIV test were all negative.”

Later, the accused was arrested and interrogated where he confirmed that he has been dating the 15-year-old girl for the past three months and had had sex with her only three times.

A new mum who peaked the scales at 21st lost seven stone after ditching her £800-a-month fast-food diet when doctors warned she might not live to see her daughter grow up.

Lillie Monro, 24, always struggled with her weight and would often have a takeaway burger for breakfast, as well as fast food for lunch and dinner.

Now, she’s swapped the burgers for salads, and as well as seeing her weight plummet, her finances also look healthier.

At her heaviest, her poor diet saw her reach 21st just before daughter Mila, two, was born, and a doctor warned the new mum she might not see her baby grow up.

Weighing 19st 1lb, and with her newborn baby in her arms, she pledged to change, and shrank 7st in a year, going from a size 22-24 to a 10-12.

She now weighs a healthy 12st.

The mum no longer spends £150-200 a week on fast food, meaning her food bills have halved, and she can climb the stairs without getting out of breath.

Lillie, an MOT, service and repairs adviser from Halstead, Essex said: “I literally lost a whole person worth of weight. My GP told me I wouldn’t see my daughter grow up so I knew I had to make rapid changes.

“I don’t think I’d have been able to do it if she hadn’t said that and I didn’t have Mila.

“I really enjoy just playing with her now: I wasn’t able to do that before.

“I didn’t do any exercise, just Slimming World. I actually really enjoyed it. I could still eat really big portions.

“I just changed the amounts of different foods so I was eating more of the right things and less of others, and cooked from scratch.

“At first I thought of it as a diet, but actually it’s a lifestyle change and that’s why it’s still working.”

As a 17st teen, Lillie said she didn’t like to go shopping with her friends, and first went to Slimming World aged 12 or 13.

She tried other diets too, but always found she put the weight back on afterwards, she said.

Lillie weighed 21st just before little Mila, now two, was born in February 2019, and 19st 1 shortly after.

The new mum was so uncomfortable about her weight she wouldn’t go out to the shops, or with her friends, and wouldn’t eat meals out, she said.

She went to her GP and was given medication for depression and anxiety, when Mila was three months old, in May 2019.

The female doctor told the mum her weight put her at risk of diabetes, heart failure, and other health risks, and she might not see her baby grow up, she said.

New-mum Lillie had feared losing little Mila when she was taken into neonatal intensive care with suspected sepsis just hours after being born, she said.

“You don’t expect your doctor to tell you you’re going to pop your clogs, but I’m so glad she did,” said Lillie.

“That was my wake-up call.https://get-latest.convrse.media/?

“When she said it, it reminded me of that fear of loss when Mila was in intensive care: it was so awful, really dreadful.

“I went home from the GP and cried my eyes out then decided to make changes.”

Lead counsel for 28-year-old Josephine Simons, who allegedly faked her kidnap and pregnancy, has said her client may spend not more than six months in jail if she is found guilty by the court.

“The charge against my client is a misdemeanour and it means that if she is found guilty and going to be sentenced, it will not be more than 6 months,” he told journalists after the court sitting on Monday.

Fiifi Buckman’s comment comes after she was granted bail by the Takoradi Habour Circuit Court.

Making her first appearance, following her alleged confession on Friday that gained the entire nation’s interest, the 28-year-old was admitted to a bail of GHC50,000 with sureties.

Charged with deceiving a public officer and publication of false news with intent to cause fear and panic, she pleaded not guilty when she appeared in court.

Her plea, however, goes contrary to a police report that she confessed to faking her kidnapping and pregnancy.

Her case has been adjourned to October 14, 2021.

But Mr Buckman said it is the court that would determine the actual confession of the suspect.

“If the confessions were final, my client would have been convicted and sentenced but it is the court that would determine the actual confession, and then we have to go through the mini-trial where the investigator will be made to stand in the box and will be cross-examined as to ascertain the veracity of the confession they claim the woman gave them,” he said.

President Nana Akufo-Addo has commended the media for its role in the coordinated fight against the coronavirus pandemic across the continent.

“We have recently had a good example of how the media can be a force for good, and that was manifested in how we have been dealing with Covid-19,” he said.

Without a lively press that worked hand-in-hand to deliver not only the news about the outbreak of Covid-19 but also to communicate the strategies and public health messages that had been put in place around the continent, the President added that Ghana, and, indeed, Africa, would be telling a different story today.

“Journalists did and continue to do a yeoman’s job in the public education of the citizenry about Covid-19 and vaccination efforts across the continent.

“Journalists, in this instance, were, and are partners, to governments across the continent and, through this joint effort, have helped save the lives of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of African citizens. I pay homage to the efforts of journalists,” he added.

President Akufo-Addo said this Tuesday when he delivered the keynote address at the Africa Journalists Leadership Conference, organised by the Federation of African Journalists, at the Alisa Hotel, in Accra.

With the diversity and free flow of news and information being fundamental to the healthy workings of any democracy, the President thanked journalists in Africa “for keeping our governments accountable. It is the media, above all, that has encouraged our people to become more and more discerning, vocal, and questioning as a civic public”.

In addition to this, the President outlined three other matters of continental and national significance, for which he appealed for the committed partnership of governments and the media.

These, he said, are the fight against terrorism and violent extremism, the fight against Climate Change, including the preservation of the integrity of our environment and the sanctity of water bodies; and the fight against the illicit flow of funds from Africa.

“These are all menaces to the health, progress and stability of our nations and continent. We should stand shoulder to shoulder in ridding our continent and nations of them,” he added.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged the leadership of various schools in Ghana not to convert the schools into battlefields for religious and ideological warfare.

Speaking during the Eid-Fitr celebration in Accra on Thursday, May 13, regarding the refusal of Wesley Girls School to allow a female Muslim student to fast during the Ramadan, he explained that schools in Ghana have evolved to to suit modern times.

He said: “The schools have evolved and adopted their practice to suit the times and I will urge we do not turn them into the place to fight ideological religious battles.”

Spokesperson of the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu, has assured President Akufo-Addo that Muslims in Ghana will not disturb the peace of Ghana.

He said the tension that arose between Muslims and Methodist Church had subsided.

He said:“Thankfully the tension that arose has subsided, we are thankful to God.

“As peaceful Muslims and law abiding citizens led by our national peace hero, National Chief Imam, we seek not to do anything to disturb the peace of the country. Suffice to say our interfaith, harmony and solidarity has suffered major setback by the recent media altercations on the religious freedom and justice.

“We wish to assure you and everybody that Muslims in Ghana under the able leadership of the meek and peace loving national Chief Imam whose sprit and predisposition give the indication unequivocally that his preferred choice all the time is peace.

“We will cooperate in any step and measure taken by all stakeholders and state authorities to bring finality to the misunderstanding.”

Dancehall musician, Shatta Wale, has sent out a word to colleague Samini after the latter allegedly said Shata was nobody before he met his former record label Chief Executive Officer, Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1.

According to Samini, Shatta Wale would have had nothing to talk about if NAM1 overlooked signing him to his Zylofon Music record label.

He wrote:

The living fool measures the success of a man by the size of a swimming pool. Living proof of the fact that depths of minds differ. A beneficiary always feels wisest until the benefactor becomes woke. Remember I did it all by myself without a ‘Nam1’ and no one is my don.

Antonela Santiago Padilla and her partner Victor had known each other since they were 14 year old teenagers growing up in northern Barranquilla. Life split them apart for a long time, but many years later, Victor called to commemorate the memory of her brother, who had passed away.

She started writing to him in September of last year, and soon their relationship became stronger and closer. However, Antonela knew that he was involved in a romantic relationship with another woman and didn’t want to break them up.

“It was all fake, yes, I invented everything and I did it out of love, for fear that I would lose the person I cared about, fear that he would stay with her, that’s why I did it and I take full responsibility,” Antonela today told Colombian newspaper El Heraldo.

So what exactly did this woman do? Well, consumed by her fear that Victor was going to leave her and harrased by his former partner who claimed that it was Antonela who split them up, she started devising a plan to keep her partner by her side. The mother of two – a boy, 13, and a 14-year-old daughter – knew that Victor didn’t have any children of his own, and thought that if she could at least offer him the illusion that she was going to give him a baby, it would make their relationship stronger.

“One day, in January, I told him I was pregnant and he innocently believed me,” Antonela told reporters.

“Honestly, everything was like a psychological pregnancy and when that happens, your belly gets bigger, you start to feel things that you shouldn’t, like when he called me ‘mommy’, I felt the baby move,” Antonela claims. “I felt nauseous, I wanted to vomit, I felt dizzy, I had cravings, sometimes I wanted to eat mojarra and I bought it, everything was psychological.”

This is where the story gets weird. According to some sources, Antonela deceived her partner and everyone else by wearing a cushion under her clothes and stuffing it with rags to make it seem like it was growing.

“She had a belly, it was small, but it never raised suspicions. My son lived with her, they slept together. But he never touched her belly or tried to bond with the baby,” Victor’s mother said. “We never suspected anything because although her belly was small, some pregnant women don’t have big bellies so we didn’t think anything was strange.”

But she does admit to fooling both Victor and their two families by making false doctor’s appointments and even producing fake evidence of her pregnancy, like an ultrasound downloaded from the internet.

“When I had doctor’s appointments, they were in fact medical checkups like cytology or general medicine, not pregnancy checkups,” the 37-year-old woman admitted. “Victor often told me that he was going with me, but I always had some excuse to prevent him from going, I told him not to worry, that I was going with my sister and stuff like that.”

Somehow, this fake pregnancy farce worked for the whole nine months, and friends and family had already prepared a baby shower to celebrate the birth of Mariangel, as Victor called the unborn girl. But as her due date approached, Antonela started devising a plan to explain why there was no baby.

Despite her refusal to got to the hospital to have this “backstreet c-section” checked out, Victor took her to the Nino Jesus de Soledad, and also notified the police about the crime. An operation to catch the alleged child traffickers was set in motion, and staff at the hospital scrambled to help the poor mother.

Everyone started to doubt Antonela’s story, after a hospital evaluation showed that she had suffered no cuts consistent with a forced caesarean. A blood test showed no traces of sedatives in her body, but also no evidence that she had ever been pregnant in the first place.

“The woman went around showing an ultrasound scan that she had taken form the internet, she simply modified it and deceived her sentimental partner. But at the hospital she took a test which showed she had never been pregnant,” police commander Mariano Cotero Coy told Al Dia.

Antonela kept insisting that she had been pregnant and that gang members had kidnapped her and cut her baby out of her belly, even though the evidence against her was overwhelming. However, in the interview published today by El Heraldo, she admits that she made up the part about the baby being removed from her womb, but insists that she really was kidnapped by gang members on September 22, and had all her money stolen.

After talking to doctors and police, Victor begged Antonela to tell him the truth, and she couldn’t keep lying anymore.

“He begged me to tell him the truth, to tell him if it was true, and I wasn’t able to look him in the eyes, it hurt me to see him like that, ” the teary-eyed woman told El Heraldo. “When I got home, I told him everything. I told him what I did, I talked about my insecurity, my fears, my love, we cried together. He said to me ‘I feel mocked, like a clown, why did you play with my feelings ? If you were not pregnant, I was not going to leave you, because I love you.’”

Antonela admits that Victor feels hurt by what she did, and that he told her to give him some space to recover from the recent shock, but she claims that they are still together and talk daily. The woman is currently seeing a psychologist to deal with the aftermath of the farce she kept up for so long.

Faking pregnancies appears to be very popular these days. Only last month we wrote about a young girl who also managed to fool her boyfriend that she was pregnant for nine months, only to then tell him that the bay had died at birth.

That was exactly what happened to a family in Sunyani when the corpse of the late 56-year-old Solomon Kwabena Korang, (aka Degor) vanished from the Best Care Mortuary when they went for it for burial and funeral rites.

The entire family was thus thrown into shock with some of them going on air to express disappointment about the turn of events after they had spent a huge amount of money to prepare for the funeral and burial rites for Korang.

But after the body had been mistakenly collected by a different family from Chiraa near Sunyani and buried for 18 days, the mistake was detected, leading to the exhumation of Korang’s body on August 21, 2018.

The Director of morgue of the facility, Mr Boakye Danquah, explained after the mistake had been detected, that the two bodies have a striking resemblance and that officials on duty that day should have done further checks before releasing the body to the family from Chiraa for burial.

According to him, due to the way bodies kept at the facility were treated, Korang’s body was intact three weeks after it had been buried when it was exhumed.

The body was sent back to the mortuary, while the family re-scheduled the date for its re-burial and funeral rites in Sunyani.

The Best Care Mortuary facility has accepted the blame and has since apologised to the two families for the blunder.

Re-burial and funeral rites

Last Friday, Korang’s body was re-laid in state at Area 2, Sunyani near Hon Yaw Brenya’s Street, for his second final funeral rites within a period of three weeks.

The body as it lay in state for the second time when The Mirror visited the family house, did not look like it had been exhumed, while family members wailed uncontrollably.

A spokesperson for the family, Mr Kusi Sakabo told The Mirror that “We are happy the body of our kinsman has finally been found”.

According to him, he went through an ordeal after the body got lost as some of the youth in the family accused him of conniving with officials of the mortuary to sell the body for GH¢20,000 for rituals.

He explained that in one instance, some of the youth attacked him by throwing stones during which a 36-year-old mason, Obeng Asiama-Kyeremeh, who was passing by was injured and rushed to the Sunyani Regional Hospital, where he was treated and discharged.

The late Korang, who was a farmer, left behind seven children.
