Former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) President Amin Lamptey has revealed that late boxer Balubali was declared unfit for professional bouts long before his death. According to Lamptey, medical checks showed that Balubali had overused his body and suffered damage to vital areas including the neck, elbows, shoulders, and brain.

He disclosed that a specialist had even advised Balubali not to fight this year due to exhaustion from years of intense training and competition. Unfortunately, Balubali and his team reportedly ignored these warnings and, at one point, verbally attacked the former GBA president for refusing to grant him a license after rejecting an alleged “token.”
Lamptey described the boxer’s final fight, a technical knockout loss to Bright, as a fatal risk that could have been avoided if medical advice had been followed. He stressed the need for stricter enforcement of comprehensive health screenings for Ghanaian boxers to prevent such tragedies in the future.
The revelation has reignited debate over the safety standards within Ghana’s boxing fraternity and the extent to which regulatory bodies can enforce medical safeguards to protect athletes.
Renowned Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo has made revelations that may surprise many, especially regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the so-called “Igbo Kingdom” in Ghana.
While public debate continues, with many Ghanaians expressing outrage over the alleged establishment of an Igbo monarchy in the country, Adjorlolo appears unfazed. Instead, he chose to highlight the Igbo leader’s contributions to the Ghanaian film industry.

Speaking in a recent podcast interview, the veteran actor recounted personal experiences of how the leader, popularly referred to as Eze Ndibu, has supported the creative arts.
“We were shooting in Eze Ndibu’s house. Eze Ndibu, here in Ghana? Yes, he produced the film. That man has helped us a lot. He has helped the industry a lot. I don’t care what people talk about him. He has invested and sponsored films in Ghana. Yes, and that’s what people don’t know. Let’s leave all these matters of Igbo Kingdom aside. I don’t have anything to do with that thing at all. I don’t care. I don’t want to even know. But for what I know him for, is the fact that he has helped our industry. He’s given his house for us to shoot films. He’s given his cars for us to shoot. Yes.”
Adjorlolo’s bold remarks shift attention from the controversies to the tangible support the Igbo leader has reportedly provided. According to him, beyond the debates about tradition and recognition, the creative industry has benefited from resources such as film sponsorships, locations, and logistics provided by the Igbo leader.
The revelations may spark a new dimension to the conversation: Should Ghanaians continue to resist the idea of an Igbo kingdom, or will acknowledgment of these contributions soften public perception?

A heartbreaking tragedy has shaken a quiet community after a woman and her children were brutally killed in their home, allegedly by her lover.
The deceased woman, a married mother of three, had her husband living abroad in the United States. He regularly sent money for the upkeep of the family and the construction of their house. Unknown to him, the woman had entered into an affair with another man in Ghana, with whom she later bore a child.
Tragedy in Ghana: Mother and Children Killed in Shocking Domestic Incident 12
When the U.S.-based husband returned home for the naming ceremony of the baby, he believed the child was his, having visited the country shortly before the pregnancy. However, it later emerged that the lover had been secretly accessing funds sent by the husband to his wife’s account.
According to reports, when the woman confronted her lover about the repeated withdrawals, tensions escalated. In a shocking turn of events, the man allegedly stormed her home late at night and committed the gruesome act, ending the lives of the woman and her children.
Tragically, only the couple’s son survived the attack, though with severe injuries. The newly born baby—who was at the center of the controversy—was left behind.
Police investigations are underway as the community reels in shock over the chilling crime that has left both families devastated.
In a sweeping move, the Chinese government has enacted new regulations that officially outlaw nearly all forms of online religious activity. The rules, announced this week, prohibit livestream preaching, online prayer meetings, Bible classes, and even the sharing of sermons through video platforms—unless such content comes directly from state-approved religious organizations.
China Bans Online Religious Activity, Tightens Control Over Faith Expression 15
The regulations also ban online religious education for minors, fundraising for churches via digital platforms, and the use of artificial intelligence in religious teaching or preaching. These measures are designed to keep religious expression tightly under government control and prevent what authorities see as unauthorized expansion of faith communities, particularly Christianity, which has been growing rapidly across the nation.
For Christians worldwide, the crackdown is a sobering reminder of the challenges facing the underground church in China. Believers continue to gather in secret, despite risks of surveillance, harassment, and imprisonment. Christian leaders stress the importance of standing in prayer with those enduring persecution.
🙏 Pray for the underground church in China to be strengthened.
🙏 Pray for boldness and protection for believers sharing the gospel despite restrictions.
🙏 Pray that the light of Christ shines brighter than ever in the midst of darkness.
As Scripture reminds us: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). And though governments may try to silence the gospel, believers hold fast to the truth of 2 Timothy 2:9—“God’s Word cannot be chained.”

Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that the country is set to receive another 40 West African nationals deported from the United States in the coming days. According to him, the government is prepared to process their arrival in line with ECOWAS visa-free travel protocols. After initial screening, the deportees will either remain temporarily in Ghana or be allowed to return to their respective home countries.
This comes after the arrival of 14 West African deportees earlier this month, made up of 13 Nigerians and one Gambian. Ghanaian authorities initially stated that the group had been permitted to return to their countries of origin, though subsequent reports raised questions about their actual status.
Context & Background
Since July 2025, under the Trump administration’s controversial “third-country” deportation policy, the U.S. has been sending individuals to countries where they are not citizens. Ghana, alongside Rwanda and Eswatini, was named among destinations for these relocations.
On September 11, Ghana confirmed receipt of the first group of 14 deportees. Their case attracted attention after reports alleged that some had been restrained in straitjackets for long hours during transport, provided only bread and water, and held under difficult conditions at Ghana’s Dema Camp, a temporary facility.
Allegations & Legal Challenges
Human rights lawyers and deportees themselves have alleged violations, including the deportation of individuals who had previously won asylum protections in U.S. courts. Critics argue that this practice undermines international agreements on the protection of refugees.
In the United States, a federal judge raised serious concerns that the deportation scheme appeared designed to circumvent immigration court rulings. However, she noted that her jurisdiction did not extend to migrants once they were outside U.S. territory. She ordered the disclosure of any agreements between the U.S. and Ghana regarding the deportations.
Ghana to Accept 40 Additional Deportees from the U.S. 21
Meanwhile, in Ghana, at least 11 of the original 14 deportees are believed to still be in detention, despite earlier claims that they had returned home. They have since filed lawsuits in Ghana’s High Court, citing unlawful detention and mistreatment, and are seeking an injunction to prevent further transfers to third countries.
Looking Ahead
With the expected arrival of the new group of 40 deportees, Ghana once again faces a difficult balancing act: upholding its commitments under ECOWAS, honoring international human rights standards, and managing the diplomatic consequences of cooperating with the U.S. third-country deportation policy.
This situation continues to stir debate in both Ghana and abroad, with human rights advocates calling for greater transparency, accountability, and humane treatment of all deportees.

The grim discovery was made on September 8 at a Los Angeles impound lot after authorities were alerted to a foul odor coming from the abandoned vehicle. The Tesla had been towed days earlier following reports that it had been left unattended.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the remains were “not intact,” and forensic testing was required to confirm Celeste’s identity. Investigators have not yet determined the cause of death, though they believe the body may have been inside the trunk for approximately five days before the car was impounded.
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is currently on his Withered World Tour. His spokesperson released a statement confirming that the singer has been informed of the situation and is fully cooperating with authorities during the ongoing investigation.
Celeste’s mother voiced her suspicions following the vehicle’s discovery, citing the fact that her daughter’s boyfriend was also named David. Adding to the speculation, reports surfaced that Celeste and the artist share matching “Shhh…” tattoos on their index fingers.
Law enforcement has yet to comment on whether there is any direct connection between the singer and the teenager’s death. The investigation remains active as forensic teams continue to work toward establishing how and when Celeste died.
