In a heart-wrenching incident that shook the community of Nangode, two individuals tragically lost their lives in a horrific bus crash early Friday morning. The devastating accident occurred when a Kumasi-Garu bus, bearing registration number AC 1348-22, plummeted to the ground near the district Agricultural office.

Reports indicate that the driver, in a questionable decision, handed over the wheel to his mate in the wee hours of the morning. As the bus approached the district Agricultural office, the mate, unfortunately, lost control of the vehicle,leading to the catastrophic crash. The impact of the collision was immense, resulting in the immediate deaths of two passengers.

Several others sustained serious injuries in the accident and were rushed to nearby medical facilities for urgent treatment.The injured were transported to the Zebilla District Hospital and Bolgatanga Regional Hospital. Sadly, the bodies of the deceased were taken to the Regional Mortuary in Bolgatanga for further examination.

The circumstances surrounding the accident are currently under investigation by local authorities. As more details emerge,we will continue to provide updates on this tragic event.

Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via...
