According to a press release issued by the Department of Public Relations of the military, the incident occurred on Monday, April 27, 2026, when the convoy transporting about 140 civilians from Bawku to Bolgatanga came under gunfire.

The attack resulted in the deaths of three civilians, while one other person sustained injuries.

The statement, signed by Acting Director General of Public Relations, Veronica Adzo Arhin, indicated that military personnel successfully repelled the attack, leading to the deaths of seven of the assailants.

“In pursuit, the military discovered and retrieved from an escapee who fled to a mosque a G3 automatic rifle, two filled magazines of 20 rounds each, and 176 rounds of additional ammunition,” the statement noted.

It further revealed that ten suspects have since been arrested and are assisting with ongoing investigations.

The Ghana Armed Forces cautioned the public against interfering with military operations and urged cooperation with security agencies as they work to maintain peace and security.

The military also extended its condolences to the families of the deceased and wished the injured a speedy recovery.

The playing body and technical team members were attacked by armed robbers while returning from their Matchday 29 game against FC Samartex at the DUN’s Park on Sunday.

The incident led to the tragic death of forward Dominic Frimpong after he sustained a gunshot wound to the head.

Speaking on the Ultimate Sports Show on Asempa FM, Albert Diewuo stated that the team is not considering a withdrawal but will continue in the league with the help of a psychologist following the traumatic experience.

“The team is traumatised after the incident. We will continue with the league and rely on our psychologist to help the players recover for the next games. We are not considering withdrawing,” he said.

When asked about their security arrangements, Albert Diewuo explained that the team’s travel plans often depend on the availability of police support, stating, “Sometimes we travel with security, sometimes we don’t. We request a police escort; if we get it, we go with them; if not, we move on our own. Yesterday we had no police escort.”

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will engage key stakeholders to review and strengthen team travel security for domestic competitions to prevent such tragic occurrences in the future.

Speaking to Adom News, Gueenata recounted that the incident occurred around 11:00 p.m. while the family was asleep.

She said she heard unusual footsteps at the entrance, prompting her mother to quietly signal danger by tapping her hand.

Moments later, unidentified assailants forced their way into the room, poured petrol on them, and launched a violent cutlass attack before setting the house ablaze.

Gueenata sustained injuries during the assault but managed to escape through the flames.

Her mother and younger sister, however, did not survive.

Describing the ordeal as both terrifying and heartbreaking, she said the experience continues to haunt her, disrupting her sleep and appetite as she struggles to cope with the loss.

She added that although she used to visit Nkwanta frequently because of her mother, she now finds it difficult to return following the tragedy.

“They burnt my mother and my younger sister. We have lost everything. My father is already dead, and now my mother is gone,” she lamented.

Gueenata has appealed to the government, benevolent organisations and philanthropists for support to enable her continue her education, saying she has been left without immediate family support.

The incident has forced the organisation to temporarily suspend its public sensitisation tour aimed at promoting animal welfare and discouraging cruelty against domestic animals.

Speaking to Adom News, Mr. Aidoo said he was nearly lynched during an outreach engagement with residents.

“I was nearly lynched while carrying out our campaign to educate the public on the dangers of consuming dog and cat meat,” he recounted.

Despite the attack, he assured that he is safe and remains committed to the campaign.

“I am safe and unshaken. The campaign has not been cancelled; it has only been suspended due to safety concerns,” he stated.

He reiterated the group’s message that “cats and dogs are family, not food.”

Mr. Aidoo is calling on the Interior Minister, the Inspector-General of Police, and other authorities to provide security protection for the team as it resumes its activities.

He also revealed shifting trends in consumption, indicating that the Eastern Region now leads in dog meat consumption, overtaking the Greater Accra Region, while the Central Region has surpassed the Volta Region in cat meat consumption.

The organisation says its campaign remains focused on changing public attitudes and promoting the humane treatment of animals.

The attack occurred on Friday, February 13, 2026, during school hours when some male students, believed to be from Frafraha Community Senior High School, were found in a classroom at West Africa SHS with female students, in violation of school rules that prohibit unauthorised visitors on campus.

The situation was detected by a small group of teachers supervising students while most members of staff were attending the school’s 80th anniversary launch. The teachers, led by Mr Nicholas Teye, confronted the intruders and directed them to leave the premises.

The visitors reportedly resisted the directive and verbally abused the teachers, leading to a heated confrontation. With support from additional staff, the intruders were eventually forced off the campus.

However, at about 4:30 p.m. the same day, the group allegedly returned on motorbikes with armed accomplices and launched a violent attack on the teachers.

GNAT said the attackers used sticks and clubs to assault the teachers, leaving Mr Teye — who appeared to be their main target — with physical injuries and psychological trauma. Teachers present managed to repel the attack after several minutes, forcing the assailants to flee.

The incident has been reported to the Adenta Police, who issued medical forms to Mr Teye for treatment and have commenced investigations.

GNAT is demanding the immediate arrest and prosecution of those involved, insisting that the perpetrators must face the full rigours of the law to serve as a deterrent.

The association has also called on the Ghana Education Service to launch its own investigations and apply disciplinary sanctions against any students found culpable.

As part of its protest, GNAT has directed teachers within the Madina Adenta Abokobi enclave to wear red armbands to school on Monday, February 16, 2026, as a sign of solidarity and protest against violence targeting teachers.

The association further urged chiefs, opinion leaders and community members to help educate the public on the dangers of violence against teachers, stressing that educators play a critical role in nation-building and must be protected.

GNAT warned that it remains on red alert and will continue to monitor developments closely, adding that it may consider additional actions if justice is delayed.

The bloody skirmish, which erupted on Saturday, 7th February 2026, was triggered by a bitter territorial dispute over a gravel pit currently being utilised for the rehabilitation of the Dobong community road.

The conflict reached a breaking point when an attempt to extract materials for the infrastructure project turned into a pitched battle.

According to eyewitness accounts, the violence escalated rapidly as supporters from the Nkanchina and Nana Ntosah factions faced off with lethal weapons.

The roots of the violence lie in conflicting claims of land ownership.

The witness explained that the Nkanchina chief had formally granted permission for the extraction of gravel to facilitate the Dobong road works. However, this authority was challenged by another local leader, Nana Ntosah, who allegedly moved to forcibly halt the operations.

The situation spiralled out of control when Nana Ntosah reportedly dispatched heavy machinery to the site to seize control.

“Nana Ntosah reportedly sent payloaders to the site, but supporters of the Nkanchina chief resisted the move and prevented the equipment from operating,” the witness reported, describing the moments before the violence began.

The ensuing chaos saw the use of cutlasses and fire, leading to injuries and property damage:

Human Toll: Two individuals sustained severe cutlass wounds and were rushed to the Kpandai District Hospital, where they remain under medical supervision.
Arson: Six motorbikes belonging to workers and supporters were doused in petrol and set ablaze during the height of the riot.
Property Damage: Operations at the gravel pit have been completely suspended following the destruction of equipment and the onset of hostilities.
A swift deployment by the Kpandai District Police Command was necessary to restore a fragile peace and prevent the violence from spreading to the main township.

Armed officers have since cordoned off the gravel pit and the Dobong road project site to deter further incursions.

The Northern Regional Security Council (REGSEC) is expected to convene an emergency meeting to address the underlying chieftaincy tensions that have long simmered in the area.

The latest attack targeted St Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger state, where authorities had already ordered the temporary closure of all boarding schools due to rising security threats.

Details remain unclear but residents fear that close to 100 students and staff may have been taken away during the early-morning raid.

Nigeria has faced a renewed wave of attacks by armed groups in recent days, including the kidnapping on Monday of more than 20 schoolgirls, who the BBC has been told are Muslim, from a boarding school in neighbouring Kebbi state.

A church was also attacked in the south-western Kwara state, with two people killed and 38 abducted while the service was being broadcast online.

Police said armed men – locally known as bandits – stormed St Mary’s School on Friday at about 02:00 local time (01:00 GMT) and abducted an unconfirmed number of students from their hostel.

Fear and uncertainty have gripped the area as families wait for news.

The authorities in Niger state said the school had disregarded an order to close all boarding facilities following intelligence warnings of a heightened risk of attacks.

“Regrettably, St Mary’s School proceeded to reopen and resume academic activities without notifying or seeking clearance from the state government, thereby exposing pupils and the staff to avoidable risk,” they said in a statement.

The school has not commented.

The police said that security agencies were “combing the forests with a view to rescue the abducted students”.

The attack follows claims by US President Donald Trump that Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria, an allegation dismissed by the Nigerian government.

Earlier this month, Trump said he would send troops into Nigeria “guns a-blazing” if its government “continues to allow the killing of Christians”.

The Nigerian government has pushed back on these claims, describing them as “a gross misrepresentation of reality”.

An official said that “terrorists attack all who reject their murderous ideology – Muslims, Christians and those of no faith alike”.

Nigeria is currently grappling multiple overlapping security crises.

The country’s 220 million people are roughly evenly split between followers of the two religions, with Muslims in the majority in the north.

The kidnapping of people for ransom by criminal gangs, known locally as bandits, has become a major problem in many parts of the country.

In the north-east, jihadist groups have been battling the state for more than a decade. Organisations monitoring violence say most of the victims of these groups are Muslim because most attacks happen in the north.

In the centre of the country, there are also frequently deadly attacks between herders, who are mostly Muslim, on farmers, who are largely Christian. However, analysts say these are often motivated by competition for resources such as water or land, rather than religion.

Local media report that the kidnappers have demanded a ransom for those abducted from the church in Eruku, Kwara state.

The payment of ransoms has been outlawed in an attempt to cut the supply of money to the criminal gangs but to little effect.

Two of the schoolgirls abducted on Monday in Maga, Kebbi state have managed to escape, while 23 are still missing. Two people were killed in that attack. They were both Muslim.

President Bola Tinubu this week postponed his foreign trips to address the rising wave of attacks across Africa’s most populous country.

In a statement, the Coalition described the incident, reportedly involving a sitting Member of Parliament who allegedly incited residents to confront state officials, as a “grave affront to national security, democratic governance, and the rule of law.”

The Coalition stressed that illegal mining, or galamsey, continues to devastate Ghana’s rivers, forests, and communities, and any attack on enforcement officers represents an attack on the state and the collective future of its citizens.

Calling for immediate accountability, the group urged President Akufo-Addo to publicly reaffirm his zero-tolerance stance against political interference in anti-galamsey efforts and to direct an independent investigation into the attack.

It also called for the prosecution of all perpetrators, regardless of political status, and for improved security protection for NAIMOS personnel operating in high-risk zones.

The Coalition further appealed to Parliament to initiate an internal disciplinary probe into the conduct of the implicated MP and to adopt a bipartisan resolution condemning violence against enforcement officers.

It also encouraged civil society, traditional leaders, the media, and citizens to speak out against impunity, stressing that silence would only embolden lawlessness and environmental destruction.

“The Republic must act firmly and transparently to protect its officers, safeguard its natural heritage, and defend the rule of law,” the statement added.

The accused, Ebenezer Yaw Ankomah, a 29-year-old student; Festus Annor, 27, an okada rider; Eugene Ekow Enchil, 32, a dispatch rider; Anthony Amponsah, 25, a blogger; Muskin Mohammed, 28, a dispatch rider; Ishawu Mumuni, 25, an okada rider; and Banisah Joseph, 31, also a dispatch rider, were charged with conspiracy to commit crime, assault on a public officer, and unlawful assembly.

According to court documents (Police Tesano Case R.O. No. 299/2025), the incident occurred on October 8, 2025, at about 2:30 p.m. when the accused persons, led by the first accused, Ankomah, allegedly organised about 40 motorbike riders to storm the premises of the Tesano Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD).

The group reportedly arrived at the station, blaring their horns and chanting war songs. Police said the men attempted to stage a riot over undisclosed grievances.

The complainant, Superintendent Mrs. Comfort Forkah, the Divisional MTTD Commander at Tesano, stepped out of her office to engage the group but was allegedly attacked and assaulted without provocation. With the help of her team, the police managed to subdue and arrest seven of the men while others fled the scene.

The suspects were later handed over to the Tesano Divisional CID for further investigation. Following police inquiries, they were charged and brought before the Achimota District Court.

They face three counts, Conspiracy to Commit Crime (Assault on Public Officer), Assault on Public Officer contrary to Section 205 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), and Unlawful Assembly contrary to Section 296(21) of the same Act.

The prosecutor, B. Arther, told the court that the actions of the accused were not only unlawful but also endangered public order.

The case, investigated by Detective Sergeant Meshack Nkrumah, has been adjourned for further hearing as the accused await the court’s decision on bail or remand.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 21, NHIA Chief Executive, Dr. Victor Asare Bampoe, described the incident as a “tragic and unfortunate act of violence” and extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims.

According to police reports, unidentified gunmen on motorbikes stormed the NHIA office on Monday, October 20, and opened fire indiscriminately on staff and bystanders.

“We are profoundly saddened that such an incident occurred at a facility dedicated to serving the healthcare needs of the public,” the NHIA stated.

“We denounce this act and are working closely with the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.”

A management team has been dispatched to Garu to support the bereaved families, the injured, and affected NHIA staff.

The Authority has also begun reviewing its security protocols across all regional and district offices to enhance the safety of its personnel and clients.

The NHIA urged calm among staff and the public as investigations continue, reaffirming that “the safety and wellbeing of our staff and clients remain a top priority.”

The statement concluded with a call for solidarity and prayers for the victims. “May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.”

According to the party, the attack left the Constituency Secretary, the Zongo Caucus Coordinator, and other executives seriously injured after being assaulted with cutlasses.

The incident is said to have occurred as a result of the MCE’s alleged opposition to his preferred candidate for the DRIP Coordinator appointment.

Reports indicate that the DRIP Coordinator, Kwabena Amo Fosu, was presenting his appointment for endorsement by the Municipal Assembly and the Western Regional DRIP Team when the attack took place.

The NPP noted that the assault occurred in the presence of the Municipal Police Commander and his officers.

Describing the attack as “a brazen act of aggression” and “an affront to democracy,” the party called on the National and Western Regional Police Commands to investigate the matter, arrest the perpetrators, and ensure they are brought to justice.

The party further demanded the immediate suspension of the MCE pending the investigation.

In a statement, the NDC expressed solidarity with Hon. Amankwah, the injured constituency executives, the DRIP Coordinator, and all members of the Amenfi East Municipal Assembly.

The party emphasized its commitment to upholding democracy, justice, and the rule of law, urging citizens to condemn the act and demand accountability.

The driver, identified as Kwadwo Antwi, picked up the passenger from Abrepo Junction in Kumasi to the Barekese area, where the passenger attacked him.

The father of the victim, Master Alex, says the passenger attacked his son with a cutlass.

“Before my son was able to remove the seat belt and run for his life, the suspect blocked his hand and laps with the cutlass,” he said.

The attacker, after pushing the driver from the car, drove away in the Toyota Vitz with registration number AS 7104-22.

“My son, who was the Uber driver, didn’t die and is responding to treatment, but police are investigating to arrest the suspects,” he stated.

During the incident, one of the taskforce officers was heckled by residents after refusing to accept a summons letter.

Regional Environmental Health Officer Cynthia Sekyere has called on residents to cooperate with the taskforce to help ensure a clean and safe environment and reduce the prevalence of typhoid and other sanitation-related diseases.

The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. at Taselema, a community along the Techiman-Wa route.

The victims were reportedly travelling from Sunyani to Lawra to attend their late mother’s burial when they encountered the armed robbers.

Eyewitnesses, including some commercial drivers who narrowly escaped, told Adom News that the robbers have been capitalising on the poor road conditions to stage frequent ambushes.

They called on the government to urgently rehabilitate the road to help curb both accidents and robberies. In some instances, the criminals are said to have gone as far as sexually assaulting female passengers.

The deceased’s body has been deposited at the Taselema Polyclinic mortuary, while his injured son is receiving treatment at the same facility.

Residents and commuters are urging authorities to improve road infrastructure and increase police patrols to ensure safety on the stretch.

The incident occurred on the night of Thursday, June 20, between 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm, as Emmanuel was returning home from work.

According to eyewitness reports and police information, the attack happened at a notorious stretch of rough road in Boinso, where motorcyclists are often forced to slow down due to poor conditions.

While maneuvering cautiously through the area, Emmanuel was suddenly ambushed by an individual wielding a cutlass. The attacker slashed him multiple times in the head and neck. Bleeding profusely, Emmanuel was only saved by the timely arrival of another motorbike rider, which scared the assailant off.

Despite his injuries, Emmanuel was able to name his attacker, one Abu, also known by the nickname Subzero, a fellow Okada rider from the same town. He identified the suspect’s distinctive outfit, a Barcelona jersey, which police later confirmed was worn by Abu at the time of his arrest.

Emmanuel is currently undergoing emergency surgery at Samartex Hospital in Samreboi, near Enchi, while the suspect remains in custody at the Enchi Municipal Police Station pending further investigation.

Though no formal charges beyond the assault have been confirmed, some residents allege that the suspect may be linked to a suspected local syndicate involved in the sale of human body parts.

These allegations, according to community sources, are tied to previous cases of unexplained disappearances of strangers who reportedly boarded commercial motorbikes operated by individuals suspected to be members of the group.

Police say investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the attack and to verify community concerns.

The incident reportedly occurred after the youth, believed to be operating illegally on land belonging to Sems Exploration—a mining company at Akwaserem in the Adansi Asokwa District—were confronted and asked to vacate the area.

According to reports, the Adansihene, after engaging the group earlier in the day to stop their activities, was allegedly attacked later that evening upon returning home.

In an interview with Adom News at the Bonsra Afriyie Palace in Fomena, the Adansiman Akyeamehene, Nana Kusi Anowuo, expressed deep concern over the development, stating that fear has gripped the traditional leaders.

He revealed that the matter has been reported to the police for a thorough investigation and appropriate action.

Confirming the incident, the Adansi Fomena District Police Commander, DSP Samson Wunyi Mumuni, disclosed that about 150 young men were involved in the confrontation. He assured the public that those responsible will be brought to justice, emphasizing that no one is above the law.

The victims were reportedly returning home from the Gomoa Akyempim Complex Market, popularly known as the Onion Market, when they were ambushed by the robbers.

This incident marks the third robbery reported by police in the area within just three days.

On Saturday, armed men stormed a restaurant at Okyereko Junction and made away with an undisclosed amount of money.

The following day, the robbers mounted a roadblock on the Kasoa-Winneba highway and robbed commuters at gunpoint.

Monday’s attack, which involved a father and his children, has further raised fears among residents.

Speaking to Adom News, the Zongo Chief of Gomoa Dominase Junction, Rahman Alhassan, revealed that the robbers had trailed one of the victims from the market to his home. Upon arrival, the assailants demanded money, and when the victim failed to comply, they opened fire.

The police are yet to make any arrests, but investigations are ongoing. Meanwhile, residents are calling for increased security presence in the area to prevent further attacks.

A humanoid robot was seen attacking its handler while attempting to break free from restraints, in a scene viewers have branded “dystopian.”

In CCTV footage from a factory in China, the black robot is seen attached to a miniature crane before suddenly beginning to swing its arms back and forth.

As it lashed out violently, a man sitting behind a nearby computer ducked, while another man standing behind the robot quickly backed away.

The robot—seemingly acting on its own—raised its arms into the air and brought them down repeatedly, with increasing speed and force.

It then began walking forward, thrashing wildly in an apparent attempt to break free from the crane.

The two men flinched and cowered, raising their arms to shield their faces as they moved out of its path.

The police later retrieved a Panasonic Lumix camera and an iPhone belonging to the victims. Baidoo was arraigned and subsequently sentenced.

The Ghana Police Service has deployed 24-hour security to the Gambaga College of Education in the North-East Region following a recent attack on eight male students, which resulted in the death of one and left another with gunshot wounds.

In addition to the campus security, a police patrol team has been assigned to the area where the attack occurred to ensure the safety of students.

Fact-Finding Visit

The Gambaga District Police Commander, Superintendent Francis Adjei Brobbey, disclosed this when the Director-General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Professor Ahmed Jinapor, led a fact-finding team to the school last Friday.

Prof. Jinapor and his team met with the Municipal Security Council (MUSEC) and the management of the college, visited the injured student at the hospital, and paid a courtesy call on the Overlord of Mamprugu Kingdom, the Nayiri, Naa Bohagu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga.

Supt. Brobbey assured that investigations were ongoing to apprehend the perpetrators, stating, “We have put in place informants to get the culprits arrested to bring them to book.”

Incident Details

The first attack occurred on Friday, February 14, 2025, around 7:30 p.m. when unknown assailants shot a student engaged in out-programme teaching practice outside the college campus. The student was rushed to the Baptist Medical Centre in Nalerigu and later referred to the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital, where he was treated and discharged.

Less than a month later, on March 12, 2025, at around 11 p.m., another group of final-year students, returning from watching a football match in the community, was ambushed by two gunmen. The attackers opened fire on eight students, killing one and leaving another with serious gunshot wounds. The injured student is currently in stable condition and receiving treatment at the Baptist Medical Centre.

The Principal of the college, Kassim Korah Nantomah, described the attacks as deeply concerning, warning that such incidents could damage the school’s reputation. “If such incidents are regularly recorded, it will definitely push away potential students,” he said.

No Shutdown of College

Prof. Jinapor welcomed the deployment of 24-hour security and assured students that the situation did not warrant a shutdown of the college. He urged students to remain calm while security agencies worked to restore safety.

He also cautioned that negative publicity could affect the college’s growth, saying, “When the institution is always in the public domain for bad reasons, nobody would want to enrol their ward, which is likely to make the institution’s survival very difficult.”

Ensuring Security and Support

While advising students to be security-conscious and avoid actions that could put them at risk, he called on community members, college management, and students to safeguard the school’s reputation.

Prof. Jinapor further announced that GTEC, in collaboration with the college’s management, would cover the medical expenses of the injured student and support the family of the deceased for a befitting burial.

The match at Parc des Princes was overshadowed by homophobic and racist chants – referencing Marseille’s large Arab population – from some PSG fans, as well as banners directed at Rabiot and his family.

Rabiot alleged PSG fans insulted his father, who died in 2019. The player’s mother and agent, Veronique Rabiot, has lodged a complaint.

“The personal attacks, particularly targeting Adrien Rabiot and his family, are despicable and unacceptable,” Marseille said.

“The club, which wishes to offer its full support and solidarity to its midfielder and his loved ones, announces that it joins the complaint filed against unknown persons by Adrien Rabiot’s family.”

The club said they will “continue to be uncompromising and inflexible against any insulting remarks against the club, its management, its employees or its supporters”.

The Paris-born France midfielder made 227 appearances for PSG between 2012 and 2019, and joined rivals Marseille after leaving Juventus last summer.

French referees can stop play if supporters chant homophobic or racist slurs inside stadiums, but Sunday’s official Clement Turpin did not.

“I don’t understand why the match wasn’t stopped,” Rabiot’s mother told Radio France.

“I don’t understand why nobody is outraged. Why are some matches stopped and not others?”

A group of thugs purported to be supporters of one of the 12 candidates in the poll barged into the Regional Coordinating Council venue and disrupted the election process on Tuesday.

The thugs destroyed ballot papers and other voting electoral materials, ending the voting exercise abruptly.

Four journalists were physically assaulted in the raid and eventually hospitalized.

In a statement, the GJA-Ashanti described the attack as “vicious” and “unprovoked” thwarting reporters on ground from performing their duties on the day.

“Some ‘macho men’ believed to be linked to the ruling party, National Democratic Congress, caused a stir when they stormed the place and disrupted the exercise. They destroyed all the ballots just when the officials of the Electoral Commission were sorting the ballots,” read the statement signed by Kingsley E. Hope, Regional Chairman.

A complaint has formally been lodged at the police while the journalists receive treatment at various hospitals including Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).

“This heinous act of violence is a reprehensible affront to press freedom and a stark reminder of the perilous environment in which journalists operate. The fact that this attack occurred in broad daylight, with impunity, is a damning indictment of the authorities’ failure to protect journalists,” the statement read.

The GJA is demanding that the perpetrators be brought to book as the violent attacks and intimidation on journalists have become recurrent.

“This trend must be halted, and those responsible must be held accountable. Attacks on journalists not only harm individuals but also erode trust in institutions and undermine the public’s right to information. We stand in solidarity with the victims and all journalists who face threats, intimidation, and violence in the pursuit of truth,” the statement read.

The statement added: “GJA will not be silenced, and we will continue to demand justice and accountability, and call on authorities to investigate this incident thoroughly and ensure that those responsible are held accountable”.

Governments and leaders worldwide have been urged to prioritize journalists’ safety and also protect the rights of media professionals to report freely and without fear of reprisal.

In a statement signed by Secretary General Joshua Ansah, the TUC described the incidents as unwarranted and called on President John Dramani Mahama to take decisive action.

The union criticised the Ghana Police Service for failing to prevent these acts of vandalism, which it said occurred in the presence of police personnel.

“These acts of vandalism have stained an otherwise peaceful election and the beautiful transfer of political power,” the statement read.

They added that the damage caused will require resources that could have been directed toward addressing economic challenges.

The TUC urged the President to empower the police to arrest and prosecute perpetrators and called on Ghanaians to uphold Ghana’s reputation as a beacon of democracy.

The union further appealed to Ghanaians to refrain from such activities, emphasising that such behaviours undermine the country’s progress and tarnish its image following the peaceful transition of power on January 7, 2025.

The incident occurred between Ayeldo and Sekyerew-Nyakumasi Ahenkuro’s deplorable road around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Victims of the robbery, who spoke about the incident, shared a “terrifying experience about the robbery.” They reported that after being robbed, they were also viciously beaten for not having enough money on them.

One of the survivors, a sprinter driver with registration number GW-6775-24, recounted his ordeal: “I slowed down at a pothole between Ayeldo and Sekyerew around 7 p.m., and a man with a torchlight signaled me to stop. As I struggled to open the driver’s door, I heard a gunshot.”

According to some of the victims, the armed robbers made away with a substantial amount of cash, including ¢17,000, ¢12,000, and GH¢1,800. The victims were then forced to lie down during the ordeal.

The Abura Aseibu Kwamankese (AAK) District Police patrol team arrived at the scene, calmed the situation, and pledged to investigate the robbery to the latter. They also assured the public of enhanced security patrols in the area.

In a statement, the Police noted that a gang of about 15 men, allegedly invaded, vandalised and stole properties of the MP who doubles as the Minister for Communication and Digitalisation.

“Currently, a targeted intelligence-led operation is ongoing to get the suspects arrested to face justice, and we assure the public that we will get them.

“Meanwhile, the Police leadership is in contact with her, and security at her office and residence has been beefed up to ensure her safety,” the statement added.

The incident reportedly occurred around 1:17 PM on Monday and was initially announced by the New Patriotic Party(NPP) National Youth Organiser, Salam Mustapha.

An undisclosed amount of cash, a branded Nissan Hardbody vehicle, a television set, a printer, two stabilizers, mobile phones, food supplies, and three brand-new motorbikes.

The MP’s CCTV cameras, barbed wire, and the office door were also vandalised.

The stolen items include an undisclosed amount of cash, a branded Nissan Hardbody vehicle, a television set, a printer, two stabilizers, mobile phones, food supplies, and three brand-new motorbikes.

The perpetrators also vandalized CCTV cameras, barbed wire, and the office door during the break-in.

It is however not clear if the incident is connected to her defeat in the just-ended general election.

The Minister was seeking re-election for the fourth time following her first electoral victory in 2012.

However, the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) Rev Addo emerged victorious with 31,866 votes while Mrs Owusu-Ekuful secured 26,575.

The incident occurred late Tuesday, November 26, around 11 p.m., as they were traveling between Nsakaw and Wenchi after a campaign tour in Namasa, within the Tain Constituency.

According to the Bono Regional Chairman of the NDP, Evans Ofori, the team was ambushed by a group of armed masked men who fired indiscriminately at them, causing minor injuries to some members.

Recounting the ordeal, Mr. Ofori said, “We were on our way to Wenchi from Namasa. As we approached Wenchi, the policeman with us noticed a barrier and advised us to slow down. We assumed it was a police barrier since we had seen one at the same spot earlier in the day. However, armed masked men suddenly emerged and began firing at us. We had to reverse quickly. Our vehicle’s windows were shattered, causing minor cuts, but thankfully, no one sustained serious injuries.”

“Shortly after the attack, a police patrol team arrived and escorted us to Wenchi, where we filed a report at the police station. I must commend the police officer who was with us for his professionalism in ensuring our safety. Our flagbearer and all team members are safe,” he added.

A statement issued by the University said the Dean of Students on behalf of management had reached out to the said student to provide the necessary psycho-social support.

It said the public lecture was generally successful and that the isolated incident was regrettable.

“As an academic institution, we believe in multiparty democracy as the bedrock for sustainable development and security in Ghana. We consistently maintain neutrality in all our dealings with established political order of the day,” part of the statement read.

The statement, signed by the Director for Institutional Advancement and Public Relations, highlighted numerous public lectures organised by the University over the years with distinguished personalities as guest speakers.

It further explained that as part of its one year-long activities marking the 50th anniversary of the University since its establishment, three public lectures had been lined up by the planning committee.

This means beyond the lecture addressed by the Former President, there are two more to be addressed by the Vice President and Flag Bearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and an alumnus of the University.

The objective of the lectures, according to the statement, is to partner the political giants in the country to conceptualise new ways of sustaining our democracy and the recovery of the Ghanaian economy.

In line with this, the statement said the University would continue to pray and work towards peace and harmony in Ghana.

The 50th anniversary is scheduled to be climaxed with a grand durbar on September 27, 2024.

According to one of the victims, who spoke to Adom News, the military came to a small community in Bole for an operation where illegal mining is ongoing.

They beat and arrested people, including the NPP Vice Chairman, Yakubu Mahama, and later brought them to the Bole Police Station.

The Constituency Secretary, Surazdeen Mahama, who is a direct brother to the NPP Vice Chairman and also serves as the Bole District Health Insurance Manager, went to the Bole Police Station to inquire about his brother’s crime.

Unfortunately, he was inflicted with gunshot wounds on his head and other parts of his body and was rushed to Bole Hospital.

This incident has created tension in Bole, with over 20 people being attacked by the military in the district.

Residents are calling on the Interior Minister and the Savannah Regional Minister to address the situation.

They warned that the youth of Bole might take the law into their own hands as the military does not seem to respect or regard the Police in Bole.

In a video shared on her Instagram account, the So You Think You Can Dance alum recalled being physically assaulted by a stranger with a knife.

“There was a knife,” she captioned the video, which saw her being treated by first responders as a yellow knife lay next to her on the pavement. She continued, “Acid attack on me in the U.K. in the middle of a live stream.”

She further noted, “There’s been a lot of hate in the past but this physical assault is a wake-up call.” The dancer also asked her followers to contact Korramanagement@gmail.com if they have any information “as to the attacker, black female. 5 foot.”

The 32-year-old then wrote in the comments section, “Guys I’m in the hospital. Safety with travel is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The acid was salicylic and I was lucky. Love you guys.”

A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police revealed to E! News that police received a call on Thursday afternoon regarding an assault in central London.

“Officers attended and found a woman in her 30s with a cut to her hand and reporting a liquid had been thrown at her face,” the spokesperson said. “She was taken to hospital for treatment. The liquid was later confirmed to be a non-noxious cosmetic item.”

The spokesperson added, “Another woman left the scene prior to police arrival. An investigation is underway.”

Korra’s sister also detailed the near-fatal incident on Instagram Stories.

“They poured acid on my sister’s face. They threatened to stab her all over her body. They have stabbed her on her hands just outside her Airbnb in Westminster, London,” Nancy, who called the police at the time, shared.

“I am in Belfast. I left my sister in a secured apartment and somebody waited for my sister in front of her room,” she added. “My sister has a strong and fit person, otherwise now she would have been gone, she would have been unalived. For what?”

Israeli TV said the salvo was expected to reach Israel at 02:00 on Sunday (23:00 GMT on Saturday).

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had launched missiles as well as drones “at specific targets”.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said they were on high alert and “monitoring all targets”. Israel’s prime minster convened a meeting of his war cabinet.

Israel, Lebanon and Iraq have closed their airspaces, and Syria and Jordan have put their air defences on alert.

Iran had vowed to retaliate for an attack on its consulate in Syria on 1 April, which killed seven military officers, including a top commander.

It accused Israel of carrying out that attack. Israel neither confirmed nor denied it.

Shortly before news of Iran’s drone launches, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country’s “defensive systems” were deployed.

“We are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong.

“We appreciate the US standing alongside Israel, as well as the support of Britain, France and many other countries.”

After news broke of the attack, US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said: “President Biden has been clear: our support for Israel’s security is ironclad.”

“The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defence against these threats from Iran.”

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned Iran’s “reckless” attack, vowing that the UK would “continue to stand up for Israel’s security and that of all our regional partners”.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) – the most powerful branch of its armed forces – said it had launched the attack “in retaliation against the Zionist regime’s [Israel] repeated crimes, including the attack on the Iranian embassy’s consulate in Damascus”.

Deputy Fire Commander for the Ahafo Region, DO1 Percy Odoi Anang, explained that officers from Kenyasi were viciously attacked by residents of Hwidiem when they arrived to assist in fighting a fire outbreak in the Zongo area.

The attack stemmed from residents’ frustration over what they perceived as a delayed response.

Despite efforts by the officers to explain that they were there to support their colleagues due to lack of fighting resources, residents refused to listen and proceeded to assault them.

As a result, four officers sustained severe injuries and were hospitalized at Saint Elizabeth Hospital.

DO1 Percy Odoi Anang said such actions by residents are unacceptable and unlawful.

He stressed that, the Fire Service prioritizes prompt response to fire incidents but faces challenges in areas where fire stations and equipment are lacking.

He urged residents to refrain from resorting to violence and instead support the Fire Service in their efforts to protect communities.

He further highlighted the need for understanding and cooperation from residents, particularly in areas where fire stations are scarce, emphasizing that the Fire Service relies on mutual support to effectively address fire outbreaks and ensure public safety.

Augustine, now 25- years-old, shared his story in an interview with GhPage TV, detailing the events leading up to the incident.

He revealed that, after completing secondary school, he travelled to Dubai where he made a of of money to support himself and others.

Among those he sought to assist was his former girlfriend from secondary school days, whom he had hoped to help finish her education and improve her life prospects.

However, he said the lady was no more interested in the relationship and he opted out but promised to support her education.

Little did he know, this decision would lead to a horrific act of violence.

Just days before his departure from Ghana, Augustine claimed his ex-girlfriend hired someone to douse him in acid.

The attack left him with severe burns and was on admission at the hospital for nearly three months.

In a chilling twist, Augustine claimed he recognized the assailant’s voice during the attack and called out his ex-girlfriend’s name in anguish as he struggled with the excruciating pain.

Fortunately, bystanders rushed him to Okomfo Anokye Hospital for urgent medical attention.

Despite his injuries, Augustine managed to identify the perpetrator to the police, leading to his arrest and subsequent conviction.

The assailant, who reportedly used an auto-rickshaw (known locally as “Pra Gyia”) during the attack, was sentenced to ten years in prison.

As Augustine continues to recover from the physical and emotional trauma, he remains resolute in his quest to seek justice.

The body has since been deposited at the Nkwanta South Municipal hospital morgue.

The other person who sustained gunshot wounds is receiving treatment at Nkwanta St. Joseph Catholic hospital.

Curfew has been imposed in the area after an ethnic conflict claimed over 14 lives.

It is unclear whether the murder is related to the conflict in the area.

Meanwhile, the chiefs of Adele, Akyode and Challa have pledged to allow peace to prevail in the municipality after years of protracted conflict that have claimed lives as destroyed properties.

Following Ghana’s 2-1 defeat against Cape Verde in their Group B opener at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, it was reported that Hughton was physically assaulted by an upset fan at the team hotel.

According to reports, it took the help of diplomats to defuse the situation and the unidentified fan had been picked up by the police.

However, the GFA has said the alleged incident was exaggerated and had been blown out of proportion.

“The fan only expressed his displeasure over the outcome of the result and told the coach to leave the job. There was no physical confrontation and certainly no arrest was made” it said.

Ghana’s Black Stars is at the bottom of Group B with no points after the opening round of matches and next take on Egypt on Thursday, January 18, 2024.

The attack according to information gathered happened at the hotel of the Ghana national team after losing 2-1 to Cape Verde in their opener of the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.

Sources say the fan who has been arrested attempted to beat up the coach but was stopped by some Ghanaian diplomats around.

While the coach was taken to safety, the suspect who is yet to be identified was handed over to Cote d’Ivoire police.

The fan is currently in the custody of the police who will decide the next line of action.

Meanwhile, Coach Chris Hughton has expressed disappointment after Ghana’s defeat to Cape Verde.

The coach is confident that his side can earn enough points from the remaining Group B games against Egypt and Mozambique to qualify for the knockout stage of the AFCON.

In a statement, the club said any fans found guilty of throwing objects would face serious consequences.

A video posted on social media shows a hand holding a glass bottle, then the word “go” being shouted before it is launched at the window of the coach.

Liverpool drew 0-0 with their arch-rivals in the Premier League encounter.

“Liverpool Football Club utterly condemns the actions that led to damage being caused to the Manchester United team bus during its arrival at Anfield this afternoon,” the statement read.

“We are aware of footage of the incident circulating online and are working with Merseyside Police to fully investigate and identify those responsible.

“Any individuals found guilty of this reprehensible behaviour will also face the full force of the club’s sanction process.”

This is not the first instance of an opposition team bus being pelted with objects at an away ground.

In 2018, Manchester City’s bus was attacked before their Champions League quarter-final with Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield.

The Reds apologised and called the behaviour “completely unacceptable”.

Then in April 2023, Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation after Liverpool’s coach was attacked on its journey back from the Etihad Stadium following a league match.

In the matchday 11 games of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League games, Nsoatreman were hosted by Bofoakwa at the Sunyani Coronation Park.

However, after 90 minutes of action, the game ended goalless.

After the game, fans of the home side attacked Maxwell Konadu, who is the head coach of Nsoatreman. 

The playing body and the away fans also sustained injuries.

According to the fans, they don’t understand why Nsoatreman FC have been able to secure a point against Bofoakwa Tano.

At the moment, Maxwell Konadu is receiving treatment at the hospital after the reported incident.

Nsoatreman FC is second on the Ghana Premier League table with 20 points while Bofoakwa Tano sit 5^th on the league log with 16 points after 11 games.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is yet to react to the incident.

According to reports, the suspect, known as “Cobra” had a long standing feud with the boss of the victim identified as Abraham Ahiadu.

Their feud is said to be about his illegal sale of the banned substance known in local parlance as ‘wee’.

So when Cobra saw the victim in his neighborhood, he thought he was on a fact finding mission to subsequently report him to the police.

He then engaged the victim in a heated argument. An angry Cobra reportedly inflicted cutlass wounds on Abraham.

Residents in the area intervened and rushed the young okada rider to the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital for medical attention.

They later reported the matter to the police.

The suspects have been identified as Alhassan Abu (52), Salam Arafat (22), Kasum Jamal (16), Nasiru (31), and Issah Mohammed.

The arrests were made at their hideout following a special intelligence operation.

The attack took place shortly after Col. Antwi Awua Darkwa, the Commanding Officer of the Airborne Force at Barwah Barracks in Tamale, called on various sections of the Upper East Region to lay down their weapons and promote peace.

Col. Darkwa also appealed for calm between the Mamprusi and Pusasi communities, which have a history of a long-standing feud.

The arrest of the suspects comes as part of efforts to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of residents in the region.

The military taskforce’s intervention aims to deter further violence and provide a sense of security for the local population.

It was gathered that the accused stabbed the pastor of one of the new generation churches identified as Prophet Anayochukwu, in May 2023.

The incident was said to have happened at the church’s headquarters during service.

The accused claimed that the pastor, during a prayer session, told him that he was about to lose his sister except when certain prayers were conducted.

He further said a pastor had earlier told him that for him to be successful in business he must perform certain spiritual cleansing which required him to buy coconut and dry gin with which to pray.

Angered by the earlier prophecy which the accused claimed did not work, he attacked the second pastor with a cutlass inside the church premises.

The matter was reported to the police, who trailed the accused to his hideout where he was arrested.

During interrogation at the station, the accused alleged that both pastors instilled fear in him by giving him false prophecies that his only sister would die by January, 2023.

The English referee took charge of the final in Budapest between serial winners Sevilla and Jose Mourinho’s Serie A side.

It was a busy night for the Englishman, who flashed 13 yellows as the La Liga outfit continued their incredible record in the competition, winning it for a seventh time in 18 years, stretching back to when it was still known as the UEFA Cup.

They fell behind to Paulo Dybala’s opener before a Gianluca Mancini own goal squared things up ten minutes after the break.

The pair couldn’t separated in 120 minutes, so penalties it was. And Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men held their nerve to secure a 4-1 victory on spot kicks and bring the trophy back to what is now it’s spiritual home in the South of Spain.

But the night didn’t end for Taylor when Gonzalo Montiel converted the decisive pen, which proved controversial after Taylor ordered a retake on the advice of VAR shortly after the Argentine had missed his initial attempt.

Cecilia Brago and Gifty Osei who were the nurses on duty were severely beaten by two yet-to-be-identified young men who came under the pretext of needing emergency care.

One of the nurses told Adom News that one of the young men with a bloody face came banging on their door, but due to the level of aggressiveness, they declined to allow him in.

The suspect, however, kicked the door open and immediately proceeded to assault her after they badged in.

After her attack, they descended on her colleague who managed to escape after being subjected to beating briefly.

The police were called to the scene shortly after.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that the suspects are natives of the Akyem Osorase community and they checked-in at the Oda government hospital for treatment after the attack.

Speaking to Adom News, Cecilia Brago said she fears for their safety now since they do not have any form of security guarding the CHIPS compound facility.

She, therefore, called on the Ghana Health Service to, as a matter of urgency, ensure their safety to avoid a repetition.

The businessman cum politician was attacked by some unidentified gunmen in his office in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region on Monday amid the firing of gunshots.

A bullet hit nobody but a few of his staff were physically assaulted and sustained minor injuries.

The attack comes three days after the Asanteman Traditional Council, after an emergency meeting held at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on 19th August 2022, banned Odike from visiting the palace after he accused some Ashanti chiefs of their involvement in illegal mining [Galamsey].

As a result, a ram was slaughtered to invoke ancestral curses against the businessman.

Speaking on his attack on Kasapa News, Akwasi Addai Odike, who went into hiding when the thugs stormed his office, said his life is in danger.

They could not spot me, otherwise I would have belonged to the silent world by now.

He said he filed a report with the police following which the police visited the crime scene for preliminary investigation.

Investigation into the alleged incident commenced immediately the matter came to the attention of the Police.

News went rife on Saturday, August 6 that Mr Adoma was attacked by some thugs on motorbike, while he was returning from Kuntunse.

The men, who were on motorbikes and armed with sharp objects, allegedly left injuries on the presenter’s face, arms and shoulders.

Further reports indicate that, they attempted to set him ablaze after pouring a substance believed to be petrol on him.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Journalists Association has condemned the attack on their member and has called on the police service to fast track investigations.

“We also urge the general public to support the police in their investigations to bring the perpetrators to face the law,” a statement issued by the GJA added.

The incident is said to have occurred on Saturday, August 6, 2022.

According to information gathered, Mr Adoma, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Kofi TV and the host of Angel FM’s morning show, was returning from Kuntunse, when the attackers crossed him.

The men, who were on motorbikes and armed with sharp objects, left injuries on the presenter’s face, arms and shoulders.

Further reports indicate that, they attempted to set him ablaze after pouring a substance believed to be petrol on him.

Although information remains scanty, some social media users are convinced the attack on the radio presenter was an attempted assassination while a cross-section of Ghanaians believe it was a robbery.

Meanwhile, a video of Mr Adoma in a wheelchair with blood oozing from various cuts on his body is trending on social media.

In the 45 seconds video, he is also seen with his shirt torn.
