ARCC Rejects Military Withdrawal in Tontokrom Mining Dispute

The Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC) has officially rejected all calls to remove military and police forces stationed in Tontokrom, deep inside the Amansie South District, while a long-standing dispute over a mining concession remains unresolved. In a statement issued on August 2, 2025, ARCC declared the deployment necessary to maintain order amid escalating tensions between Asanko Gold Ghana Ltd. and local youth mining illegally on contested land. Traditional authorities, district officials, and residents had earlier demanded that security forces withdraw immediately; ARCC refused, citing the risk of violent clashes without adequate supervision. Located near Manso Tontokrom town in the Amansie South District, the disputed concession has been the scene of recurring unrest. The Minerals Commission has never formally gazetted the land for large-scale mining, according to community leaders; they claim local residents have mined there for decades—long before Asanko […]

Ama Pratt Slams Critics on Veep’s Alleged Chartered Flight Use

The Press Secretary to the Vice President, Ama Pratt, has fiercely dismissed claims that Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang used a chartered private jet upon her return to Ghana, calling the speculation baseless and irrelevant. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem show on August 1, 2025, Pratt stated there’s no confirmation a private jet was used—only that standard governmental travel protocols were followed. She questioned why critics are fixated on the flight type, especially given that the Vice President was on medical leave in the UK and recently returned home for service. “At the end of the day, our Vice President was sick […] she returned home to serve. What did they expect her to come with?” Pratt probed. She noted that critics who previously supported extravagant charter flights now object to a flight reportedly “without a bath”—calling for […]

Agyapong Says Party Used His Words Against Him Over ’10 Sins’

Former NPP flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong revealed that he stayed silent during a critical phase of the last campaign because his own party weaponized his past criticisms of the NDC—calling them his “10 sins”—to undermine his presidential ambition. Agyapong explained that remarks once celebrated when directed at the opposition became political liabilities when he sought office. Party insiders reportedly flagged these as sins, prompting him to apologize publicly to President John Mahama as tensions mounted. In humor-laced reflection. Agyapong likened the labels to the Biblical Ten Commandments and joked that he refused to let people add an eleventh or twelfth “sin” to his name—leading to his deliberate campaign silence.

Ilorin Islamic Cleric Sentenced to Death for Ritual Student Murder

The Kwara State High Court in Ilorin has sentenced Islamic cleric Abdulrahman Mohad (also known as Mohammed A. Bello) to death by hanging for the ritual murder of Hafsoh Lawal Yetunde, a final-year student at the Kwara State College of Education. The victim, aged 24, disappeared after answering a phone call during a naming ceremony on February 10, 2025, and was later found dead—having been killed and dismembered for ritual purposes. Investigators traced the last call on her phone to Mohad, who confessed to belonging to an occult group and carrying out the crime. The presiding judge, Justice Hannah Ajayi, condemned the act as an extreme case of human wickedness and rejected Mohad’s defense claims as fabricated. Four co-defendants were acquitted due to insufficient evidence linking them to the offense. This ruling represents a rare execution-level conviction in Nigeria, underscoring […]

Ekow Assafuah Slams OSP Bail Conditions: ‘Jesus Christ’ Required Next?

The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, sharply criticized the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) during an appearance on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem program, describing the bail conditions imposed on former GACL board chair Paul Adom-Otchere as excessive and unreasonable. He mocked the requirement for two landed properties as sureties, warning that such standards could escalate absurdly: “If we’re not careful, very soon we’ll be asking for Jesus Christ, Noah’s Ark, or even the dove that returned after the Flood, as bail condition.” Assafuah stressed that Adom-Otchere poses no flight risk and questioned how a detainee could produce property documentation. He urged the OSP to exercise restraint and uphold fairness to preserve public trust in Ghana's justice system.

NASPA Executives Petition NSA over Delayed Dues & Elections

The regional presidents of the National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) have petitioned the Director-General of the National Service Authority (NSA), expressing serious concerns over ongoing delays in disbursing NASPA dues and allowances. The August 1, 2025 petition warns that the prolonged funding gap is crippling operations at regional and district levels, undermining personnel welfare initiatives across Ghana. The executives also challenged the indefinite postponement of NASPA’s national elections, calling for transparency and immediate publication of a revised election calendar. Signatories include all ten regional NASPA presidents, who have given the NSA until August 6, 2025 to respond; failure to do so would trigger further actions. Copies of the petition were shared with NSA Board members, Deputy Directors, Regional Directors, and the NASPA National Executive Committee.

Ghana Threatens DStv Licence Over Subscription Price Dispute

The Communications Minister, Samuel Nartey George, has issued a stern ultimatum to MultiChoice Ghana, warning that unless DStv subscription fees are slashed by 30%, the company could face licence suspension effective August 7, 2025. The move responds to growing public frustration as the Ghanaian cedi has appreciated about 30% over five months—yet DStv prices have not reflected this strengthening currency. Despite a recent price hike in April, consumers complain of outdated content and poor value for money. During an “Accountability Series” briefing, Minister George said: “We cannot continue to sit idle while Ghanaians are short-changed.” MultiChoice Ghana has reportedly argued that prior depreciation of the cedi over eight years validates their pricing, but George rejected that, calling for fairness. MultiChoice has until July 21 to formally respond to the demand. If they fail to comply, the NCA will suspend DStv's […]
