Ghana to Seek Extradition of Russian Suspect

Ghana says it intends to seek the extradition of a Russian national accused of secretly recording sexual encounters with several women and sharing the footage online without their consent. African and Russian media have identified the suspect as a self-styled “pick-up artist” and blogger in his 30s who travelled to Ghana and allegedly filmed his interactions with women. Some reports claim he used sunglasses fitted with a hidden camera, although officials have not confirmed that detail. Speaking to journalists on Saturday, Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, said he had summoned the Russian ambassador in Accra to discuss the matter. Earlier, Ghana’s Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection indicated that preliminary investigations suggested the suspect had likely left the country. The ministry stressed that his departure “does not reduce the seriousness of the alleged conduct […]

Ghana jails Nigerian man 10 years for trafficking sister, nine others

A Ghanaian court has sentenced a 29-year-old Nigerian man, Chukwudi Nwachukwu, to 10 years in prison for trafficking his younger sister and nine other girls from Nigeria to Ghana for prostitution. The victims, aged between 15 and 18, were deceived with promises of restaurant jobs but were forced into sex work upon arrival in Ghana. One of the victims was Nwachukwu’s own sister. Prosecutor Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Isaac Babayi told the court that the case began when Chief Calistus Eloziepuwa, a member of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) in Ghana, reported the incident and helped rescue the victims. According to Babayi, on June 7, 2024, the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of the Ghana Police Service received a report from the Nmai Dzorn Police Station that Nwachukwu had been arrested and the victims freed.

Agbogbloshie Residents Endure Extreme Heat and Toxic Air Amid Ghana’s Climate Push

As Ghana accelerates efforts to tackle climate change, national attention has largely focused on flood control and improved drainage systems. Yet, in Agbogbloshie—one of Accra’s most vulnerable and densely populated communities—residents are facing another silent but equally deadly threat: extreme urban heat compounded by toxic air pollution and overcrowded housing. Despite initiatives like the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project (GARID), which aim to enhance climate resilience in the capital, many argue that low-income neighborhoods like Agbogbloshie remain excluded from meaningful intervention. In Agbogbloshie, heat is not just an inconvenience—it’s a matter of survival. Narrow pathways, corrugated metal roofs, and poorly ventilated rooms trap unbearable temperatures, creating oven-like conditions that persist throughout the day and night. “My children have heat rashes every day. We pour water on the floor to cool the place, but it still feels like we’re […]

Unequal Climate Resilience: Odawna Residents Left Behind as Accra’s GARID Project Expands

As Ghana intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project (GARID) is transforming parts of the capital with upgraded drainage systems, cleaner waterways, and better living conditions in flood-prone communities such as Nima, Alajo, and Akweteman. However, residents of Odawna, just a few kilometers away, say they have been overlooked. Recurrent floods and rising heatwaves continue to disrupt daily life there, exposing deep inequalities in the country’s climate resilience drive. GARID, supported by the World Bank and the Ministry of Works and Housing, was launched to protect vulnerable urban communities from flooding and climate-related shocks. In areas like Nima and Alajo, its impact is clear: new concrete drains, raised walkways, and improved waste management systems have reduced waterlogging and improved sanitation. Residents report safer neighborhoods and a visible decline in flood damage. In […]

Ga Dances and “Oobakɛ” Greeting Surprise Travelers at Kotoka Airport

Arrivals at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Wednesday night, September 4, were greeted with spirited Ga dances and the traditional salutation “Oobakɛ,” in a colorful display celebrating Ga culture and language. The surprise welcome featured the Obaake dance and was streamed live on social media by Chorkor Youth TV, drawing attention online. Organizers of the cultural showcase remain unknown, and it is unclear how long the initiative will continue. The event comes in the wake of the recent “Akwaaba vs Oobakɛ” debate, sparked by signage at the newly renovated Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. That debate has reignited calls for stronger recognition of Ga identity and heritage in Accra’s public spaces.

President Mahama Vows to Crackdown on Illegal Structures as Taskforce Prepares to Tackle Flooding

President John Mahama has issued a strong warning regarding illegal construction on waterways, citing its significant role in the recurrent flooding that devastates communities across the country. During his speech at the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations in Accra on March 31, 2025, Mahama emphasized the need for urgent action as the rainy season approaches.He pointed out that improper construction, especially on riverbanks, leads to blockages, causing rivers to overflow and resulting in destructive floods. “When the rivers have nowhere to go, they back up, and the result is destructive flooding,” President Mahama stated.The President also called attention to the involvement of some private developers and traditional authorities, who collaborate to turn water retention areas and protected lands into construction zones. Mahama made it clear that these illegal structures would be demolished: “Those structures will be pulled down. We will not allow a […]
