    A self-confessed killer has revealed how he carried out the murder of three individuals at the behest of a chop bar operator.

    He admits, “Someone said she wanted body fluids of dead bodies for something, fluids from the mouth and vaginal area,” he is heard confessing. “She is a woman who operates a chop bar presently”.

    “If she wants more, when I am passing by she draws my attention. She paid me 500 Ghana cedis for each operation”.

    His purported crime scene is believed to be in the Odumase Krobo region, where several murder cases have occurred.

    A 31-year-old Nigerian national, identified as Paul Efeturi Niboro, also known as Paul Kwame Niboro, has been detained in prison custody by the High Court.

    The allegations against him include uploading sexually explicit videos of a Jehovah’s Witness woman, with whom he had engaged in a romantic relationship, onto a pornographic website.

    Despite facing 10 charges, including fraud, dissemination of obscene material, forgery, and sexual extortion, the accused pleaded not guilty to all counts.

    The victim, a 40-year-old African-American residing in Brandywine, USA, allegedly fell victim to the accuser’s deceitful tactics.

    Pretending to be a Cyber Security Analyst employed by IBM in Canada, the accused manipulated the victim into believing various fabricated stories, leading to financial exploitation.

    Although the defense sought bail, highlighting the accused’s cooperation with legal proceedings, the prosecution objected, citing the gravity of the charges.

    Presiding over the case, Justice Lydia Osei Marfo instructed the prosecution to furnish the court with necessary disclosure documents ahead of the next hearing scheduled for May 16.

    Subsequent investigations uncovered a plethora of incriminating evidence against the accused, including forged documents and coerced explicit material shared without consent.

    The accused’s actions, characterized by deception and exploitation, highlight the seriousness of the allegations and the imperative for a meticulous legal process to ensure justice prevails.

  • NPP’s Gabriel Amoah resigns as Mfantseman 1st Vice-Chairman

    NPP’s Gabriel Amoah resigns as Mfantseman 1st Vice-Chairman

    The New Patriotic Party‘s (NPP) 1st Vice-Chairman for the Central Region’s Mfantseman Constituency, Gabriel Amoah, has stepped down.

    The 44-year-old entrepreneur told the Ghana News Agency he tendered in his resignation letter on Friday, March 31, and was received by Mr Evans Osei, the Constituency Secretary and copied to all appropriate quarters.

    Though he could not deny or confirm his widely speculated intention to contest the Parliamentary slot, he was optimistic about working hard with the constituency leadership to stretch the NPP’s political fortunes in the 2024 election.

    Having served the party with dedication and commitment across the ranks, Mr. Amoah said it behoved on him to go all out to mobilise the grassroots to make the constituency a stronghold of the NPP.

    Elated with his resignation, he said: “After a painstaking effort and a wide consultation and deliberations across the party, I have decided to resign to work assiduously to maintain the political gains of the party in the constituency.

    “I want to use this platform to remind all that energizing the base of the party is key and fundamental to the victory of the NPP in the 2024 elections.”

    To him, Mfantseman is the heartbeat of the NPP and political activism in Ghana hence, he was prepared to sacrifice his resources not only to save the party in the area but make the party more attractive.

    Considering the interesting history of parliamentary candidates of NPP in the Constituency, Mr. Amoah called on the supporters of the party to embark on a massive grassroots mobilization campaign to get more people on board.

    That, he said, was the surest way to ensure a resounding victory for the party in the 2024 elections.

    For the youth, he said: “As the youth of the NPP, we may have a tougher responsibility, but breaking the eight is a must-do for us. We must convince Ghanaians that changing a productive regime merely because it has lasted for eight years is not healthy for a country that seeks progress.

    “We must prove beyond any reasonable doubt to Ghanaians why the party must not go after its two-term regime cycle. Beyond singing the chorus of ‘Breaking the Eight’, we must critically engage our minds forthwith,” he added.
