In a press release on Friday, January 23, 2026, the Police stated that the suspect was apprehended on January 17, 2026, following intelligence-led operations. He is accused of shooting Bukari Inusah, 34, and Tanimu Adamu Tanko, 44, at the Odupon Kpekpehe School Park on December 7, 2024, during voting.

According to the Police, Suraj allegedly fired indiscriminately, damaging a parked pickup vehicle with registration number GT 9550-P and injuring the two victims. The injured were initially treated at Kasoa Polyclinic and later transferred to the Trauma and Specialist Hospital in Winneba for further care.

Suraj, who had gone into hiding after the incident, was arrested at Kasoa Zongo. During interrogation, he admitted to the shooting and acknowledged ownership of a pump-action gun used in the attack. He could not provide legal documentation for the firearm, claiming he purchased it in 2024 from a cattle herdsman at Gomoa Potsin for GH¢4,000.

Police are currently tracing the alleged seller, while the suspect remains in custody, assisting with investigations. Authorities confirmed that the victims are responding to treatment but have not yet fully recovered.

The Central East Regional Police Command reiterated its commitment to fighting crime, urging community support to ensure public safety.

The suspects—Douglas Kwame Akunnor, a steel bender; Emmanuel Aduah, a trader; and Richard Baidoo, an entrepreneur—were apprehended following investigations into the theft of a 2021 Hyundai Elantra, trade plate number DV 6060-W, belonging to a businessman at Kakraba near Kasoa.

Police said the incident occurred on November 24, 2025, after a suspect, Albert Akwasi Ofori, currently at large, contacted the car owner under the pretext of inspecting and purchasing the vehicle, which had been advertised for sale.

Although Ofori did not show up personally, he allegedly sent Douglas Akunnor and Emmanuel Aduah to complete the transaction.

The suspects presented a signed cheque valued at GH¢210,000, which initially reflected in the complainant’s bank account, prompting him to release the vehicle. The amount was later reversed, raising suspicion that he had been defrauded. Attempts to reach the suspects failed after they switched off their phones.

Police investigations led to Emmanuel Aduah’s arrest on January 2, 2026, in the Western Region while attempting to unlock his SIM card. Further interrogations resulted in the arrest of Douglas Akunnor, who admitted his role and explained the syndicate’s modus operandi.

Although the suspects initially failed to disclose the vehicle’s location, intelligence operations later led to its recovery at Nsakina. The car had been repainted from red to black and fitted with a fake registration number, GX 3856-21. Richard Baidoo, found in possession of the vehicle, was subsequently arrested.

All three suspects were arraigned before the Ofaakor Circuit Court on January 6, 2026, and have been remanded into custody, with a reappearance scheduled for January 28, 2026. Police confirmed that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the alleged mastermind, Albert Akwasi Ofori.

The Central East Regional Police Command assured the public of its commitment to arresting all accomplices and ensuring they face the full rigours of the law.

Sports Teacher Richard Boafo, who spoke to Citi news, said he was accompanying the students, said the incident occurred as they were travelling to Ngleshie Amanfro Senior High School for a sporting event.

“We noticed smoke coming out of the bus, so we asked all the students to move out immediately. Fortunately, all 83 students and five teachers on board escaped safely, but the bus was completely burnt to ashes,” he confirmed.

According to Mr Boafo, the quick evacuation helped prevent injuries, and the students were able to move to a safe location before the fire engulfed the vehicle.

The cause of the fire has not been determined, and authorities are expected to investigate.

The school has expressed relief that no lives were lost and commended the teachers for acting swiftly to ensure the safety of the students.

The operation, conducted with support from National Security personnel, revealed a 10-bedroom property fitted with an underground reservoir allegedly used to store water sourced illegally.

Investigators also discovered that Standard Water and another sachet water producer were accessing water through bypassed lines, evading payment entirely.

According to officials, many of the companies applied for domestic meters but later diverted the system using two-inch pipes to draw large volumes of water for commercial production without routing it through the meter.

GWL described the situation as a significant drain on its resources and a major factor contributing to supply challenges in the area.

Addressing the media, the Accra West Regional Communications Manager, Solace Akomeah, expressed alarm at the scale of the theft, stressing that those involved will face surcharges and possible prosecution.

She said the level of illegal connections in Kasoa is unacceptable and undermines efforts to ensure fair distribution of water to households and legitimate businesses.

Ghana Water Limited is urging residents to report suspected illegal connections, emphasising that community cooperation is vital to maintaining stable and equitable access to water.

The ongoing enforcement operation forms part of broader measures aimed at tackling supply issues and safeguarding the integrity of the water distribution network.

Ms. Akomeah appealed to the public to alert the utility or security agencies whenever they suspect water theft or meter bypassing in their communities.

Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend the suspect.

Speaking at a press conference at the Kasoa Odupong Ofaakor Palace, Nai Atopi stressed that these communities are part of Awutu Ofaakor lands and not under the authority of Gomoa Fetteh.

He urged residents to disregard the recent announcement by the Sumankwahene of Gomoa Fetteh, Nana Adama Amoaquandoh, which imposed a ban on drumming and noise-making from November 6 to 28, 2025.

“The people of Kasoa Ofaakor, Papaase, and Akweley are not under the Gomoa Fetteh Stool, so they should feel free to go about their normal activities, including drumming and noise-making,” Nai Atopi stated.

He warned residents not to be intimidated by individuals claiming authority from Gomoa Fetteh, describing such actions as an overreach.

Nai Atopi, who also serves as Chief of Awutu Kwashie Abbey and Boundary Chief of the Awutu Traditional Council, cautioned that anyone attempting to enforce the ban within Kasoa Ofaakor and its environs should be treated as a trespasser.

He further advised churches and residents to report anyone who tries to seize instruments or disrupt activities to the police, describing such individuals as “acting unlawfully and should be treated as thieves.”

According to the caucus, despite their significant contribution to the party’s electoral victory, they have been ignored by the constituency executives, Municipal Chief Executive Seth Banini, and Member of Parliament Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor.

At a press conference, the group alleged that key positions were given to individuals who contributed little or nothing to the NDC’s success. They further claimed that the MCE appointed an NPP sympathizer as his bodyguard and awarded National Security roles to outsiders, leaving committed party members without jobs.

Some members lamented that their families now ridicule them for remaining unemployed nearly a year after the elections. They also accused the CEO of the Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, of refusing to assist them in securing job opportunities.

The caucus warned that regional and national party executives should not hold them responsible if frustrations escalate into chaos in the constituency.

Kasoa Zongo Zonal Coordinator and branch chairman, Ismail Baddoo, stated that the Zongo communities delivered all 24 branches for the NDC and contributed over 2,500 votes to the party’s 5,000-vote victory margin. Yet, he said, none of their members has received any appointments.

Bra Sammy’s remand is over the alleged murder of his girlfriend, 26-year-old fashion designer Mabel Asantewaa.

The incident, which occurred last Wednesday at Kalabule Chinese near the Kasoa tollbooth in the Ga South Municipality, shocked residents in the area.

According to police investigations, the suspect reportedly demanded sex from Mabel, who refused because she was on her menstrual cycle.

The disagreement allegedly escalated, leading to her tragic death.

Bra Sammy is said to have later ingested a poisonous substance in an apparent suicide attempt.

He was rushed to the hospital, and upon regaining consciousness, he led police to the crime scene and pointed out the knife allegedly used in the act.

He has since pleaded guilty in court and has been remanded to reappear on October 19, 2025.

Here, amidst the towering structures of West Hills Mall and the vibrant community of SCC (Sakaman-Carprice-Cape Coast Road), the practice of sand winning exacts a heavy toll on both the environment and the residents who call this place home.

Sand, the backbone of construction and development, lies at the heart of this conflict. Its extraction, though necessary for progress, comes at a steep price. The landscape, once pristine and untouched, now bears the scars of relentless exploitation. Weija, once a tranquil oasis, now finds itself at the mercy of unchecked sand winning, as sediment chokes its waterways and disrupts its delicate ecosystem.

The consequences of this environmental degradation are far-reaching, extending beyond the boundaries of Weija and into the heart of Kasoa and SCC. Here, the effects of sand winning manifest in the form of increased flooding during rainy seasons, as water struggles to find its natural course amidst the sediment-laden channels.

The West Hills Mall, a beacon of modernity in the midst of urban chaos, stands as a testament to human progress. Yet, its very foundations are threatened by the specter of recurrent flooding, a consequence of the unchecked extraction of sand from nearby waterways. As water levels rise, so too does the risk to both infrastructure and livelihoods, as businesses and homes alike find themselves submerged beneath the rising tide.

SCC, a vibrant community teeming with life and activity, bears witness to the human cost of environmental degradation. Here, residents face the dual threats of displacement and economic hardship as their homes and livelihoods are swept away by the relentless march of floodwaters. The very fabric of community life hangs in the balance, as families grapple with the uncertainty of an uncertain future.

To address these pressing issues, regulatory measures must be implemented to manage sand winning activities responsibly. This includes enforcing permits, monitoring extraction sites, and implementing sustainable extraction practices that minimize environmental impact. Collaboration with local authorities, such as the Ga South Municipal Assembly, is essential in enforcing these regulations effectively.

Yet, amidst the challenges, there lies a glimmer of hope. Through concerted efforts and sustainable practices, we can chart a new course towards a more resilient future. Kasoa, SCC, and the surrounding areas stand at a crossroads, poised to choose between destruction and preservation. It is up to us to heed the call of nature and forge a path towards a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.

As the sands of time continue to shift, let us not forget the hidden costs that lie beneath. For in our quest for progress, we must never lose sight of the fragile ecosystems and communities that bear the burden of our actions. Only then can we truly pave the way towards a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

The incident occurred at the Kasoa Central Business District in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.

According to the victim’s mother, Victoria Saah, the suspect accused Hannah of selling weed, violently attacked her, and even stripped her half-naked before she lost consciousness.

After she failed to return home, an extensive search led by her family, police, and concerned community members was launched.

The young girl was discovered by a passerby early Thursday morning, lying on the roadside in Kasoa.

The two committed the offence in 2021 and have since been on trial.

It has taken three years since the gory incident for the High Court to conclude the trial and return a verdict.

The second accused, Nicholas Kini, who was 18 years old at the time of the incident, has been sentenced to life in prison.

The first accused, who was 15 years old at the time of the incident, has, however, been sent to the juvenile court for sentencing because the High Court does not have the authority to sentence him.

Facts of the case

According to testimony from investigators, the first accused admitted during interrogation that the idea to kill the deceased came after he chanced on a video of a spiritualist who promised to help people make money by depositing GH¢5,000.

In furtherance of this, he is said to have confessed that he contacted the second accused, Nicholas Kini, who suggested they place a call on the fetish priest.

The fetish priest is said to have demanded the GH¢5000 and human blood.

According to the first accused, the second accused thus recommended the killing of the deceased in fulfilment of the request.

The plan, however, was to first kidnap him and demand GH¢5,000 as ransom from his parents.

The deceased is then said to have been lured by the first accused to the uncompleted building under the pretext that he had bought him a game.

Upon asking the deceased to pick up the game, he was first struck on the head with a stick and later struck with cement blocks when he pleaded for mercy.

The deceased was then buried alive as the pathologist explained that the cause of death was failure to breathe.

Prosecutions case

The prosecution called its first witness in March 2023 and called seven witnesses in all.

The seven witnesses are the father of deceased Ishmael Abdallah, the father of the first accused, his mother and sister. The state also called three police officers as witnesses, including the detective who handled the case and the pathologist at the Police Hospital who handled the post-mortem.

In helping the prosecution build its case, the father of the deceased testified that he had returned from a work trip the morning before the incident. Shortly after he had breakfast with the family, including the deceased, he took a nap. His nap was, however, cut short by screams of his wife announcing the death of his son.

He confirmed finding the body of his son at an uncompleted building opposite the house of the first accused.

The sister of the first accused testified that she saw his brother, and the second accused, Nicholas Kini, at the uncompleted building when she went to urinate but was sacked by the first accused.

Being suspicious, she informed her mother, who later notified the first accused‘s father.

Father of the first accused, Richard Mensah, testified that he uncovered the body of the accused in the uncompleted building.

The suspect reportedly arrived at midnight to steal the pole from the Immigration Office.

However, officers on duty spotted him carrying the flag hoisting pole and quickly chased him, leading to his arrest.

The suspect was handed over to the Police for prosecution.

Investigations by the Kasoa Central Sector Commander of the Ghana Immigration Service, ACI Fati Yarah revealed that, several items have been stolen by unknown persons from the office in recent times.

The suspect is currently in custody at the Kasoa Under Bridge Police Station, assisting with investigations.

A number of container shops with consumables, along with a furniture showroom around the church worth millions of cedis were destroyed.

Eye witness accounts confirmed that the fire started around 5:30pm soon after a welding work which was allegedly carried out by one of the shop owners.

After failed efforts by shop owners to quench they called the Ghana National Fire Service station at Kasoa  who also called for two additional fire tenders from Weija and Buduburam to help battle the inferno.

It took the fire men an hour to bring the fire under control which was fast spreading towards a nearby fuel station.

In the process, one of the fire tenders caught fire but the quick response by the fire fighters averted the near disaster.

A visit by Myjoynline saw affected victims counting their losses while sympathizers had gathered in small groups discussing the incident.

Founder and Leader of the church, Prophet Elisha Bismack Boison who was at the scene with some members of his congregation to asses the extent of damage, said the church has lost everything including furniture and a set of musical instruments valued at millions of Ghana cedis.

According to him the incident occurred at the church’s off worship day.

Prophet Elisha Bismack Boison blamed the person who carried out the work which has resulted in the catastrophe.

Emelia Sakpo, a drinking bar operator said she is running her business with a bank loan and said her inability to service the loan may land her in trouble. Emelia is therefore calling on the government to come to their aid.

Princess Anan who deals in baby diapers and other consumable items narrated that only a day before the fire incident, she ordered new goods which all burnt together with the sales she had made.

Princess said she was in her shop when the fire caused havoc so she had to run away, leaving everything behind.

Rita Aklade who runs a fashion shop close to the church thanked the fire service personnel for working so hard to prevent the fire from entering her shop.

Rita said she was troubled and anxious as she watched on when the fire was spreading to her shop, adding that she recovered when the fire service personnel appeared on the scene.

She called on the government to as a matter of urgency provide the Ghana National Fire Service with advanced equipment to enable them do more.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, around 2:30 am, while the family was asleep.

The armed assailants, brandishing guns and cutlasses, forcefully broke into the house, catching the couple completely off guard.

The intruders quickly overpowered the officer and his wife, tying them up to prevent any resistance.

The robbers then ransacked the home, making off with a Toyota Corolla with the registration number GX 1651-20, several mobile phones, and two television sets.

They also demanded the couple’s Mobile Money (MoMo) pin. When the victims couldn’t provide the pin, the robbers taped their mouths with sellotape before fleeing the scene.

The officer, whose name has been withheld for security reasons, expressed the deep trauma that the family has endured as a result of the incident.

He described the experience as harrowing and noted the lasting impact it has had on their sense of safety.

The identities of the victims have been kept confidential to protect their security.

The collapse occurred as the workers were pouring concrete for the first floor of the multi-storey building.

A survivor, Patrick Sarfo recounted the incident. “I was standing by the machine watching those working on the building. Then I noticed that the building was gradually coming down, and I pushed one of my brothers closer to me aside and I also managed to jump.”

“I noticed that the building was not strong from the foundation, so I prompted the boys to work on the building with a weak foundation. Passers-by helped us to remove the people from the rubble.”

Dr Jones Opoku Ware is asking authorities to take swift and decisive action before the situation spirals out of control.

His comments come in the wake of a tragic incident involving a military officer, L/Cpl. Danso Michael who was recently killed reportedly over a land dispute incident at Millennium City, Kasoa.

The only suspect arrested so far has been identified as Benlord Ababio, and he’s believed to be a landguard.

Speaking on JoyNews’ AM show on May 6, 2024, he stated that “Kasoa is a place like a time bomb waiting to explode because this is an area where the characteristics as we have it have created the criminal subculture.

“There are even places in the area where people dare not pass there at certain times of the day. We have certain elements and gangs who have declared certain portions of these places unto themselves, and there are areas where they forbid people to use those places because they think they have the power to control those areas.

“When you have a subculture that has been built within a period in certain areas, it sends a certain psychological effect into the minds of the people that for these areas we are on our own and we have no protection, and that is what we have manifested in the Kasoa area,”he said.

Dr Opoku Ware pointed to his research on crimes in Kasoa between 2017 and 2022, which revealed that land guards commonly sell parcels of land to multiple individuals, resulting in violent confrontations over ownership.

He also accused local police of being aware of these unscrupulous sale practices and yet failing to take preventive measures to ensure public safety and deter further conflicts, thereby exacerbating the situation.

“Because look, if you look at the crime statistics, though, as a criminologist, I do not rely solely on crime statistics because of what we call the dark figure, I think that the patterns as demonstrated by the police data itself should send shivers down the spines of every security agency operating within that firm.

“This is not something that we have to just sit on. The guy who has been arrested for having committed the crime, I am sure that the people in the area know him.

“I am sure his activity is known to people within the area, so why is it that the police over the period have not gone in for this guy for them to wait for somebody to be murdered, then say we have moved in, and we have the security operating with that kind of system? It creates a problem for everybody, and that is what we have to look at,” he noted.

I did a lot to her but now she has broken up with me. She has done a lot but I can’t stay and hear say she is getting marry to another man. LIFE IS A JOURNEY AND I HAVE ENDED MINE. GIFTY THANK YOU”

Residents of Kasoa Shalom City revealed that, Shadrach had previously attempted to take his life by drinking poison.

Despite receiving medical attention and advice from doctors, he went ahead to hang himself.

In response to the tragedy, Assemblyman for Kasoa Opeikum-Chrispo City Electoral Area, Adams Habibulah, urged Ghanaians to seek support for individuals grappling with emotional distress.

He said suicide is not an option and urged persons with mental health issues to share their struggles and seek help.

Family head, Nana Akomea said they have been inundated with calls urging them to ensure Funny Face face is jailed for the incident.

“People are seeking for Funny Face’s downfall. We have been receiving calls from some persons, radio and TV stations asking us to take this up. I’m shocked at how people want to destroy him,” Mr. Akomea bemoaned.

He revealed this when Funny Face visited the victims in the Central region.

However, Mr. Akomea said they have resolved not to yield to the demands for prosecution.

“Funny Face is a good man who must pay attention to God. I believe that what he needs now is to seek the face of God in his life and become a better person,” he affirmed.

Mr. Akomea stressed the importance of spiritual growth, stating, “we wouldn’t force you to turn to God, but that is what you must do. You must invite Christ into your life to lead the way.”

Background

This was after his vehicle rammed into five persons on the Kasoa highway, a situation which resulted in the victims sustaining severe injuries.

Michael Nelson is being held over publication of false news and causing unlawful harm. 

Nelson is said to have raised alarm falsely that his penis was shrunken and accused Safiru Bohari, a nail technician, the complainant, as the one who caused it. 

Due to the accused person’s false alarm, Bohari was beaten up mercilessly by some.   

The court did not take the plea of Nelson. 

He is expected to reappear before the court presided over by Naomi Kontuor on April 11, 2024. 

The prosecution, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Thomas Sarfo and Chief Inspector Bernice Wie Kpuusu, told the court that the complainant was a resident of Lawyer, suburb of Kasoa, whiles the accused person resided at Millenium City in Kasoa. 

On March 27, 2024, the prosecution said at about 3:15pm, the complainant, whiles on his normal rounds cutting nails for interested persons came to Millennium City Estate and sat under a mango tree to take some rest. 

The prosecution said Nelson, who resided in the area on seeing the complainant advanced towards him. 

The court heard that Nelson without any cause started accusing the complainant of having caused his pennis to shrink. 

The prosecution said the accused person suddenly raised alarm, which attracted people within the neighbourhood.  

The prosecutor told the court that Nelson made the people to believe that that the complainant was responsible for the shrinking of his penis. 

The prosecution said the people together with the accused person without any enquiry subjected the complainant to severe beatings and he sustained various degree of injuries on his body. 

The prosecution said a witness, who got to the scene, rescued the complainant and brought both the complainant and the accused person to the Millenium City Police station where the case was reported. 

The court heard that a medical report form was issued to the complainant.   

The prosecution said Nelson was escorted to the Kasoa Polyclinic for examination and treatment. 

According to the prosecutor, when Nelson was examined by a medical officer on duty, his manhood was “stable” and had no “defect” contrary to the accused person’s claim. 

“Nonetheless, he was given medication. The complainant on the other hand was also treated and discharged,” the prosecution said.

Chairman of the GPRTU Kpando Station in Kasoa, Issah Salifu, who confirmed the incident explained that a parcel was brought to be transported to Kpando in the Volta Region.

According to him, after interrogation, they found out that they were electrical meters.

Mr. Salifu then hinted to the police at Kasoa Under Bridge, who apprehended the suspect.

The station officer, Chief Inspector Benjamin Asunkey then contacted the Kasoa North District Manager, Ing. Phaney Adiko to help identify the meters.

Ing. Phaney indicated that those were fake meters which were not from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

The suspect, upon further interrogation by the police, refused to give information about the sender or receiver of the fake meters.

He was then arraigned before the Akweley Magistrate Court on January 18, 2024 and remanded to reappear on February 6, 2024.

The General Manager of ECG in the Central Region, Mr. Emmanuel Lumor, reacting to the incident stated that ECG is the only company mandated in the Southern sector to distribute electricity and to provide meters for service connection.

He said these fake meters are substandard and can cause fire outbreaks, overloading of transformers and outages.

Mr. Lumor therefore advised customers to desist from acquiring meters from other sources apart from ECG.

“The company is clamping down on these fake meters because of the adverse effect on our operations,” he added.

He added that customers should not hesitate to visit ECG’s offices for service connection requests and other related services.

This was after purchasing a wedding ring from a close friend to replace her lost one.

Faustina shared her harrowing experience with Adom News, revealing that she had lost her original ring several months ago and opted to acquire a replacement from a friend who trades in jewelry.

Although the ring felt slightly tight on her finger, she disregarded it, assuming it was due to her extended break from wearing one.

“We were attending a funeral on Saturday, so I decided to wear the new ring. However, upon our return, I found myself unable to remove it,” Faustina recounted.

The following day, she awoke to discover her finger had swelled significantly, and all her attempts to extricate the ring proved futile.

It was not until medical professionals from Kasoa Mother and Child Hospital intervened, supported by fervent prayers from a group of pastors, that the ring could finally be cut off.

Nii Aryee Richster, Faustina’s husband, expressed his shock upon witnessing the condition of his wife’s finger.

“It seemed as though her finger had been shackled. I applied shea butter numerous times, but it had no effect. We even attempted using a hacksaw blade, which proved unsuccessful. Eventually, we resorted to a padlock cutter to remove the ring. It was an incredibly unusual situation, but we are grateful to God that it has now been resolved,” he added.
