Ashaiman court remands man for posing as police officer

The Ashaiman District Court has remanded 54-year-old Kofi Boakye Frimpong into custody for allegedly impersonating a public officer by posing as a police chief inspector without lawful authority, contrary to Section 237 of the Criminal Offence Act, 1960 (Act 29). Frimpong’s plea was not taken as investigations continue to determine whether he was previously a police officer. According to the prosecution, led by Inspector Henry Nartey Tetteh, the complainants were officers of the Zenu-Attadeka Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) who arrested Frimpong. On September 17, 2025, at about 9:00 am, the officers encountered him at the Zenu Star Fuel Station dressed in a tactical black police uniform with a chief inspector’s rank badge. Suspicious of his identity, they engaged him briefly, during which Frimpong reportedly jumped onto a motorbike and ordered the rider to speed off. After a chase, […]

Scrap National Placement Centre – GNACOPS Director

Executive Director of the Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS), Obengfo Nana Kwasi Gyetuah, has called for the scrapping of the National Placement Resolution Centre, arguing that it undermines the work of regional and district education offices tasked with resolving Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) issues. The Ghana Education Service (GES) established Placement Resolution Centres across districts and regions to assist students, parents, and guardians facing challenges with Senior High School (SHS) placements. However, Mr. Gyetuah contends that the national centre continues to overshadow these local offices, resulting in unnecessary congestion whenever placements are released. His comments follow chaotic scenes at the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall in Accra on Tuesday, September 23, where hundreds of parents and students gathered to address placement difficulties. Speaking on Channel One TV on Saturday, September 27, he argued […]

The National Concerned Small-Scale Miners Association, Ghana (NCSSMAG), has inaugurated an Anti-Galamsey Taskforce to intensify the fight against illegal mining on rivers and streams nationwide.

Parliamentary Committee Visits Gnani and Kukuo Camps, Pledges Support for Witchcraft Victims

The Parliamentary Select Committee on Human Rights, in collaboration with several civil society organisations (CSOs), has visited the Gnani Camp in the Northern Region to assess living conditions and document the situation of residents. The visit formed part of a three-day fact-finding mission to alleged witches’ camps, ahead of the passage of the Criminal Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2025, also known as the Anti-Witchcraft Accusations Bill. Alhassan, leader of the Gnani Camp, briefed the delegation on challenges faced by residents, citing stigma, limited resources, and lack of access to education and healthcare as the most pressing concerns. He explained that the camp provides refuge for individuals accused of witchcraft who face rejection and threats in their home communities. The Committee later visited the Kukuo Camp, where they met residents and paid homage to the local chief as part of cultural protocol. […]

Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings Demands Action on CMB-Abuja Market Land Dispute

The Member of Parliament for Klottey-Korle, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, has urged immediate and coordinated government action to resolve the long-standing dispute over the CMB-Abuja market land, also known as the Railways land. Despite being government property, the land has been the subject of private claims for more than eight years, with repeated attempts to evict over 3,000 people who live and work there, including GPRTU drivers, market women, and traders. At a press conference, Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings stressed that the issue extends beyond land ownership, framing it as a matter of livelihoods, community survival, and national food security. “The CMB Abuja Market is a vital hub where thousands of Ghanaians shop daily for affordable food and where traders, drivers, and families earn their living. Any disruption here will not only devastate livelihoods but also undermine food security and economic stability far […]

The Minister of Labour, Jobs and Employment, Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, has assured that the government is actively working to resolve the indefinite strike declared by the Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU) of the Trade Union Congress (TUC). Speaking on JoyNews, Dr. Pelpuo explained that the government has taken note of TEWU’s grievances and is pursuing a broader solution that addresses not only their concerns but also those of other unions considering strike action. “The Ministry of Finance is leading the effort to find a solution, and the government is hopeful that a mutually beneficial agreement can be reached,” he stated. Dr. Pelpuo emphasized that addressing demands individually could create further complications within Ghana’s labour force, hence the decision to adopt a comprehensive approach. He confirmed that engagements with TEWU leadership are underway to explore possible resolutions. TEWU-TUC declared the […]

GTEC orders UCC Vice-Chancellor to step aside

The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has directed Professor Johnson Nyarko Boampong, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), to step aside for exceeding the mandatory retirement age. In a statement issued on September 19, 2025, GTEC announced the appointment of Professor Denis Worlanyo Aheto as acting Vice-Chancellor. The Commission explained that Prof. Boampong, who remains in office despite being over 60, is in violation of Article 199(1) of the 1992 Constitution. “Article 199(1) states that a public officer shall, except as otherwise provided in this Constitution, retire from the public service on attaining the age of sixty years,” GTEC noted. It added that the Vice-Chancellor’s role is considered part of the public service under the University of Cape Coast Act, 1992 (PNDCL 278), and must therefore comply with the retirement provision. The Commission also referenced Statute 8.2 of […]

Kantamanto Market boss denies leadership confusion

Kantamanto Market Coordinator Kakari Mensah has rejected claims of leadership confusion, stressing that the market functions under established rules and recognized leadership structures. During an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem while visiting the market, Mensah clarified that no executives had secretly elected a new chairman, countering recent rumors. “The Kantamanto Market has leaders, and we have rules and regulations governing us.

We don’t fight in this market, and we don’t invoke curses,” he stressed. He assured both traders and the public that the […]

Estonia blasts Russia over brazen airspace violation

Estonia’s foreign ministry has accused Russia of violating its airspace, calling the incursion by Russian fighter jets “brazen” and “extremely dangerous.” According to officials in Tallinn, three Russian MiG-31 warplanes entered Estonian airspace without permission on Friday, flying over the Gulf of Finland for a total of 12 minutes. The aircraft reportedly had their transponders switched off, a move seen as a direct provocation against a NATO member state. In response, Estonia summoned Russia’s chargé d’affaires to lodge a formal protest. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the incident as “an extremely dangerous provocation,” while Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna called it “unprecedentedly brazen.” “Russia’s increasingly extensive testing of boundaries and growing aggressiveness must be met with a swift increase in political and economic pressure,” Tsahkna warned in a statement. Estonian officials noted that Russia has violated the country’s […]

TikTok US-China deal nears as Trump, Xi weigh terms

A long-awaited deal over TikTok may be within reach, with US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping set to discuss terms on Friday. Officials from both countries struck a “framework” agreement this week that could see TikTok’s US operations sold to a group of American firms, including Oracle and investment giants Andreessen Horowitz and Silver Lake. Reports suggest US users could soon get a new American-specific version of the app. Experts say the deal would mark a “rare breakthrough” in strained US-China trade negotiations, potentially easing years of tensions around the app’s future. For TikTok’s 170 million American users, however, the biggest question remains: what happens to the algorithm? Often described as TikTok’s “secret sauce,” the recommendation engine is the core of its global appeal. While Instagram’s Reels and YouTube’s Shorts have tried to copy it, they fall […]
