Derrick Köhn Snub Sparks Fresh Black Stars Controversy As Fans Question Baba Rahman Call-Up Influence

By
Calvin Eli
-

The Ghana national team is once again at the center of controversy after reports and growing fan frustration emerged over the absence of German-born Ghanaian defender Derrick Arthur Köhn from recent Black Stars selections despite his strong performances in Europe.

Many supporters have taken to social media to question why Köhn, who has long been linked with Ghana and reportedly completed steps toward representing the country internationally, continues to face uncertainty around regular inclusion in the national setup.

👉🏽 Join 15,000+ readers online now. Join our WhatsApp Daily News Channel for breaking updates.

According to previous reports by GhanaMedia.net, confusion surrounded Köhn’s nationality switch process, creating speculation about his eligibility and delayed integration into the Black Stars squad. Additional reporting by GhanaMedia.net also highlighted growing expectations that the talented left-back would become a major option for Ghana.

Fans Compare Köhn’s Situation To Baba Rahman Selection

The latest debate intensified after the inclusion of experienced defender Baba Rahman, with some supporters alleging that his close relationship with influential figures within Ghana football may have played a role in maintaining his position in the squad.

While no official evidence has been presented to support such claims, discussions involving Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku and Baba Rahman have continued to dominate football conversations across social media platforms and fan forums.

Critics argue that selection decisions should be based primarily on current form and long-term planning rather than reputation or past contributions.

Derrick Köhn’s European Rise Continues

Köhn has built an impressive career path through clubs including Bayern Munich II, Willem II, Hannover 96, Galatasaray, Werder Bremen and Union Berlin. The left-back has earned praise for his pace, attacking ability and versatility on the flank. Born in Hamburg to Ghanaian parents, he has remained one of the most talked-about dual-nationality players linked to the Black Stars.

Many fans believe Ghana should be aggressively integrating players of Köhn’s quality into the national team setup, especially as the Black Stars continue rebuilding ahead of major international competitions.

Growing Pressure On Black Stars Technical Team

The controversy comes at a time when pressure is already mounting on the Black Stars coaching staff over squad selections, tactical decisions and long-term planning.

Supporters are increasingly demanding transparency regarding player invitations and omissions, particularly when high-performing Ghanaian players abroad appear overlooked.

Others, however, argue that experienced players such as Baba Rahman still provide leadership and valuable international experience that cannot easily be replaced.

Why This Story Matters

The debate surrounding Derrick Köhn and Baba Rahman reflects a larger issue facing Ghana football: balancing experience with emerging talent. As the Black Stars seek to return to the top level of African and world football, every squad selection is now being scrutinized by passionate supporters who want merit, performance and national ambition to guide decisions.

For many fans, the Köhn situation has become a symbol of wider concerns about transparency, player recruitment and the future direction of the Black Stars.

According to widely circulated reports and social media posts, Daaku reportedly stated that while the waiver of visa fees for Africans is a positive step, South Africans should not be allowed to benefit from the arrangement. The remarks have triggered strong reactions online, with supporters and critics debating the implications for diplomacy, regional integration, and Ghana–South Africa relations. [oai_citation:0‡Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/100076269965159/posts/waiver-of-visa-for-africans-is-excellent-but-south-africans-should-be-banned-fro/1043698714849118/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Ghana’s Visa-Free Initiative

President John Dramani Mahama announced that Ghana would roll out a free e-visa policy for African nationals effective May 25, 2026, as part of efforts to promote Pan-African integration, tourism, and investment across the continent. The policy was presented as a major step toward strengthening African unity and economic cooperation. [oai_citation:1‡The Presidency, Republic of Ghana](https://presidency.gov.gh/ghana-to-roll-out-free-visa-for-all-africans-from-may-2026/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

The government has argued that the initiative aligns with Ghana’s long-standing commitment to Pan-Africanism and continental mobility while maintaining appropriate security screening measures for visitors. [oai_citation:2‡The Presidency, Republic of Ghana](https://presidency.gov.gh/ghana-to-roll-out-free-visa-for-all-africans-from-may-2026/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Context Behind the Debate

The discussion comes amid heightened public concern over reports of attacks and tensions involving African migrants in parts of South Africa. Some Ghanaians have expressed frustration over past incidents affecting Ghanaian nationals and other African communities living or working in South Africa.

Supporters of Daaku’s position argue that Ghana should respond firmly to protect its citizens, while critics contend that restrictions based on nationality could undermine broader African integration efforts and diplomatic relations.

Mixed Reactions Online

Social media platforms have seen thousands of comments on the issue. Some users believe reciprocity should guide immigration policies, while others maintain that Ghana should continue promoting open borders and African solidarity regardless of political disagreements.

The debate highlights the challenges African governments face in balancing national security, diplomacy, economic interests, and continental integration.

Why This Story Matters

Ghana’s visa-fee waiver policy represents one of the most significant mobility reforms on the continent in recent years. Any calls for exemptions or restrictions involving specific countries are likely to attract attention from policymakers, business leaders, and citizens across Africa. The discussion also reflects wider concerns about migration, regional cooperation, and the future of Pan-Africanism. oai_citation:3‡The Presidency, Republic of Ghana

Reports Suggest Cross-Border Arrest

According to widely shared reports, the suspect was apprehended by authorities in Côte d’Ivoire after allegedly leaving Ghana. The reports further claim that arrangements could be made for the suspect to be returned to Ghana to assist investigators.

However, GhanaMedia.net has not independently verified these claims, and readers are advised to await confirmation from the Ghana Police Service and other relevant authorities.

Investigation Expected to Continue

If confirmed, the reported arrest could mark a major development in the investigation. Law enforcement officials would likely continue gathering evidence and conducting interviews before any formal court proceedings.

Criminal allegations remain unproven unless established in court, and every suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Why This Story Matters

The case has generated widespread public interest due to the tragic circumstances surrounding Atsu Bigah’s death. Any confirmed breakthrough in the investigation is likely to be closely monitored by family members, residents of Ashaiman, and the wider Ghanaian public seeking justice and accountability.

Stolen Canadian Land Rover Traced to Ghana in International Fraud Scheme

By

A luxury Land Rover stolen through an alleged identity fraud scheme in Canada has been traced to Ghana, exposing what investigators say is part of a growing international vehicle theft and export network. The case, which began in Saskatchewan, Canada, highlights increasing concerns over stolen vehicles being shipped from North America to West Africa. Ghana News reports that authorities in both countries are stepping up efforts to combat the trend.

According to the Saskatoon Police Service, the investigation started on January 14, 2025, after a Land Rover was fraudulently purchased from a business in Saskatoon using stolen identity information. Investigators later discovered the vehicle had been transported through British Columbia before being shipped overseas. With assistance from the Edmonton Police Service and the Canada Border Services Agency, authorities eventually confirmed that the vehicle had arrived in Ghana.

Suspect Faces Multiple Criminal Charges

Canadian police say the investigation expanded after a second luxury vehicle, a BMW X5, was allegedly obtained using similar fraudulent methods. Authorities claim the suspect travelled from Alberta and used a Quebec driver’s licence that had been altered after being reported lost. The suspect was later arrested in Edmonton and now faces several charges, including fraud over $5,000, theft of a motor vehicle, possession of another person’s identity documents, personation, use of a forged document, and breaching court-imposed conditions. [oai_citation:1‡saskatoonpolice.ca](https://saskatoonpolice.ca/news/2026326?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Growing Concern Over Stolen Vehicles Arriving in Ghana

The case comes amid increasing reports of stolen vehicles from Canada, the United States, and Europe being traced to Ghana and other West African countries. Ghanaian law enforcement agencies have intensified collaboration with Interpol and international partners to identify, seize, and repatriate stolen vehicles entering the country. Ghana’s Criminal Investigations Department previously disclosed that multiple luxury vehicles stolen abroad had been intercepted at Ghanaian ports. oai_citation:2‡Graphic Online

International Auto Theft Networks Under Scrutiny

The Land Rover case is not isolated. Canadian authorities recently announced the recovery of dozens of stolen vehicles worth millions of dollars that had been tracked to international destinations, including Ghana, Spain, and the Bahamas. Investigators say organized criminal networks often use identity theft, forged documents, and fraudulent financing schemes to acquire vehicles before exporting them overseas. oai_citation:3‡Road & Track

Why This Story Matters

The case highlights the increasing sophistication of international vehicle theft operations and the importance of stronger cross-border cooperation. It also serves as a warning to vehicle importers and buyers in Ghana to conduct thorough background checks before purchasing imported vehicles, as stolen vehicles can be seized even after customs duties have been paid.

Rheumatism, RA, or Gout? Understanding the Real Causes of Joint Pain

By
Daniel Jeddman
-

Joint pain affects millions of people worldwide, yet many still use the term “rheumatism” to describe a wide range of painful conditions without understanding the specific cause. According to health communicator and medical scientist Yeboah Agyekum Francis, identifying the exact condition behind persistent joint pain is critical for effective treatment and long-term health management.

👉🏽 Join 15,000+ readers online now. Join our WhatsApp Daily News Channel for breaking updates.

Many individuals self-medicate with painkillers, supplements, or so-called immune boosters without first receiving a proper diagnosis. However, conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Gout have very different causes and require different approaches to treatment.

What Is Rheumatism?

Rheumatism is not a single disease. Rather, it is a broad umbrella term used to describe more than 200 conditions affecting joints, muscles, tendons, and connective tissues. Symptoms commonly include pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Rheumatism, RA, or Gout? Understanding the Real Causes of Joint Pain 11

Because rheumatism covers many different disorders, identifying the specific condition is essential before beginning treatment. More Ghana News, Ghana News Live, and health updates continue to highlight the importance of early diagnosis.

How Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Develops

Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissues. Researchers believe genetics can increase susceptibility, while infections and environmental factors may trigger the disease.

In RA, immune cells target the synovium, the membrane responsible for producing synovial fluid that lubricates joints. This attack causes inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and progressive joint damage if left untreated.

RA often affects multiple joints symmetrically, meaning both hands, wrists, knees, or feet may experience similar symptoms at the same time.

Why Cold Weather Can Worsen RA Symptoms

Many sufferers report increased pain during cold or rainy weather. Experts attribute this to changes in atmospheric pressure, which can allow inflamed tissues surrounding joints to expand, placing additional pressure on sensitive nerves and intensifying discomfort.

Understanding Gout and Uric Acid Build-Up

Unlike RA, Gout is primarily a metabolic condition caused by excess uric acid in the bloodstream. Uric acid forms when the body breaks down substances called purines, which are found naturally in body cells and in foods such as red meat.

Also Read: Daniel Jeddman Defends Yeboah Agyekum Francis After Viral Seer Warning: “No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper”

Normally, the kidneys remove excess uric acid through urine. However, when production exceeds removal, uric acid accumulates and forms needle-like crystals inside joints.

These crystals commonly settle in cooler parts of the body, particularly the big toe, leading to sudden episodes of severe pain, redness, and swelling.

Key Differences Between RA and Gout

While RA results from an autoimmune attack on joint tissues, Gout develops due to excessive uric acid crystal formation. RA typically affects multiple joints symmetrically and may be influenced by weather changes, whereas Gout often appears suddenly in a single joint and is closely linked to dietary factors and kidney function.

Why This Story Matters

Understanding the difference between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Gout can prevent misdiagnosis, reduce unnecessary medication use, and help patients receive appropriate treatment sooner. Accurate diagnosis remains one of the most important steps toward managing chronic joint pain and preserving long-term mobility.
