DUAMPOMPOM, GHANA —Commuters on the bustling Accra-Kumasi highway faced significant delays today after a low-bed truck carrying a large excavator broke down at Duampompom, near the Anum Apapam junction. The incident, which occurred early this morning, caused a massive traffic jam, stretching for several kilometers in both directions. According to eyewitnesses, the truck suffered a mechanical failure, rendering it immobile and blocking a significant portion of the road.

A disturbing case of child abuse has emerged in the Central Region of Ghana, leading to the arrest of a couple by the Awutu Bereku District Police Command. Bismarck Odoi, 35, and Saviour Arthur, 33, are accused of chaining their 9-year-old son and leaving him abandoned in a bush near Gomoa Nkwantanana for two consecutive days.

South Africa Faces Potential FIFA Sanctions After Ineligible Player Participation in World Cup Qualifier

-
Image
The South African national football team, Bafana Bafana, is facing a serious predicament as they await a potential sanction from FIFA following the fielding of an ineligible player in their recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Lesotho. The controversy surrounds midfielder Teboho Mokoena, whose participation in the match has triggered a formal query from the Lesotho Football Association to FIFA. The incident stems from Mokoena's accumulation of yellow cards in previous qualifying matches. According to FIFA regulations, a player who receives two yellow cards in separate qualifying games is required to serve a one-match suspension. Mokoena had received yellow cards in matches against Benin and Zimbabwe, thus making him ineligible to play against Lesotho. Despite this, Mokoena was included in the starting lineup for South Africa's match against Lesotho, which took place in Polokwane last Friday. South Africa went on to secure a 2-0 victory, but the outcome of the mat...

THE PEOPLE OF KUSAUG STAND UNITED AGAINST DIVISIVE RHETORIC AND DECEPTION

-
Image
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.
