Image
Achiaa, a trader, has been beaten mercilessly by a city guard of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) at Kejetia. In a video available to oyerepaonline.com, the KMA city guard was spotted kicking the woman from left to right whilst rolling on the ground. The victim narrating her ordeal to Oyerepa online said she was preventing the city guard from seizing her goods, but he ended up beating her. “We sell on the pavement. The KMA city guard was about to seize my things. When I refused to give them to him, he started beating me. He has destroyed all my things. What pains me is that I was not the only one selling on the pavement.” Achiaa lamented in tears. An eyewitness told brakwakuonline.blogspot.com that some other guards nearly beat him in an attempt to stop them from beating the woman. “I met the security guard beating and kicking the woman on the floor, whilst those around her looked unconcerned. I started taking videos as evidence. When I tried to stop the security guard from beati...

Image
  John Mahama Former President John Dramani Mahama has been badly exposed over the comments that his entitlements have not been paid. He said although he has some entitlements as a former President, the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government has failed to fulfil its mandate of paying him the benefits to which he is entitled to as a former head of state. He claims that the government has denied him the right to receive benefits like free utilities, which he is entitled to because he has held the nation’s highest position. Last Monday, the former president’s office also went on media blitz to deny allegations that he accepted an ex-gratia and other benefits payment of GHC14 million in 2013. The former President “never collected any such ex-gratia payment of GH14 million in 2013 or at any other time throughout his 25 years of service,” a statement signed by Special Aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari dared the Chief of Staff at the Office of the President to provide evidence. The Mr Mahama’s ...

Mr. Kwetey disclosed that not only did he have an interest in the game, but he loved playing football and developed better in the midfield role. In an interview with Rev. Erskine on the YLeaderboard Series aired on Y107.9FM’s ‘Myd Morning Radio Show’, he noted that his participation in the game was beyond admirable and at a point brought friends together to form a team. “I grew up particularly young and very interested in playing football.

  En Huang, alias Aisha Huang, a Chinese galamsey queen arrested for engaging in illegal mining will be put before an Accra Circuit Court today, Wednesday. She is to answer charges preferred against her in relation to illegal mining. Aisha, who was deported in 2018 for allegedly engaging in illegal mining, is currently facing two fresh charges. She is being held on the charges of sale and purchase of minerals in without license and engaging in illegal mining. However, information gathered by DGN Online indicates that fresh charges will likely be preferred against her when she appears before the court. It is also likely the A-G will discontinue the case at the Circuit Court and commence trial at the High Court as was done in Aisha’s previous case. At the last sitting, the court presided over by Samuel Bright, could not take her plea because the court did not have a Chinese interpreter. She is expected to stand trial together with three other accomplices, namely Johng Li Hua, Huang J...
