The award marks the second consecutive year that Standard Bank Group, the parent company of Stanbic Bank Ghana, has received the continental honour, highlighting its continued excellence in private banking, wealth management and advisory services across Africa. The Group also received top honours for Africa’s Best for Family Office Services, Africa’s Best for High-Net-Worth Clients and Africa’s Best for Next-Gen, further cementing its reputation as one of the continent’s premier wealth management institutions.

The Euromoney Private Banking Awards are widely regarded as one of the industry’s most respected benchmarks, recognising financial institutions that excel in client service, innovation, strategic growth and wealth advisory. The 2026 awards recognised Standard Bank Wealth and Investment as Africa’s Best Private Bank and honoured its leadership across several specialist categories.

According to Stanbic Bank Ghana, the recognition demonstrates the value it delivers to affluent individuals, entrepreneurs, business leaders and families seeking personalised financial solutions to preserve, grow and transfer wealth across generations.

Commenting on the achievement, Acting Head of Personal and Private Banking at Stanbic Bank Ghana, Darwin Mireku, said the greatest threat to wealth is often inadequate planning rather than market volatility.

“The greatest risk to wealth is often not market volatility, but missed opportunities and inadequate planning. As wealth becomes more sophisticated, so too does the need for trusted advice, disciplined stewardship and long-term thinking. This recognition reflects our commitment to helping clients protect what they have built, capitalise on opportunities for growth and prepare future generations for success.”

He further explained that Stanbic Private Banking differentiates itself by combining personalised client relationships with the strength and continental reach of Standard Bank Group.

“What sets Stanbic Private Banking apart is our ability to combine highly personalised relationships with the strength of Africa’s leading banking group. Through our local expertise, continental reach and global connectivity, we help clients navigate complexity, access opportunities and preserve their legacy with confidence.”

Stanbic Bank Ghana continues to expand its private banking proposition through tailored wealth management, investment advisory services, estate and succession planning, as well as access to regional and international investment opportunities made possible by Standard Bank Group’s extensive African footprint.

The latest recognition follows another milestone for the bank after it received the Excellence in Private Banking Award at the Innovation & Excellence Awards 2026 during the 25th Connected Banking Summit West Africa held in Accra earlier this year.

With Ghana’s economy creating new opportunities for wealth creation and preservation, Stanbic Bank Ghana says it remains committed to supporting entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners and families with innovative financial solutions that help build lasting financial legacies.

As of publication, Ghana Media has not independently verified the identities of those involved, the exact location of the incident, or whether authorities have officially confirmed the reported deaths. Much of the information currently available originates from viral social media posts and should therefore be treated with caution.

The incident has sparked widespread debate online, with many users reflecting on the dangers of allowing personal disputes and jealousy to escalate into violence. Others have urged the public to wait for official statements before accepting the claims as fact.

Authorities are expected to provide further clarification if an official investigation is underway.

DJ KA Leak: Woman Claims Video Was Old and May Have Been Leaked by a Former Friend

A woman claiming to know details surrounding the viral DJ KA leak has shared her side of the story, alleging that the explicit video circulating on social media is not recent. According to her account, the footage was recorded more than a year ago and only resurfaced after tensions reportedly developed between DJ KA and some people within his circle.

Speaking in a video that has gained traction online, she claimed the private recording was originally shared on Snapchat and suggested that someone who once had access to it may have saved and later leaked it. She alleged that one of DJ KA’s former associates or friends could be responsible for making the video public after their relationship deteriorated.

Her comments come as discussions surrounding the viral leak continue across social media platforms. However, these claims remain allegations and have not been independently verified.

Separate reports published on Tuesday also cited individuals close to DJ KA who similarly claimed the footage was old and alleged that it may have been obtained from Snapchat before being used for blackmail or eventually leaked online. DJ KA has publicly stated that he was the victim of blackmail before the video surfaced.

As of publication, there is no official evidence confirming who leaked the video or the exact circumstances surrounding its release. The identity of the person responsible remains unconfirmed.

The incident has reignited conversations about digital privacy, consent, and the dangers of sharing intimate content online, with many urging the public not to continue redistributing private material.

The clips, which are being widely shared across Facebook, X, TikTok and Instagram, allegedly show García making remarks during an earlier period when Yamal was reportedly linked with Argentine singer Nicki Nicole.

In one of the circulating videos, García is quoted as saying: “If he wasn’t a millionaire or a footballer, Nicki Nicole wouldn’t have looked at him twice.” Another resurfaced clip allegedly shows her being asked to choose between Lamine Yamal and Jude Bellingham, to which she responds, “Bellingham.”

The authenticity and context of the videos have become the subject of intense debate online, with many users questioning when they were recorded and whether they accurately reflect García’s current views.

The renewed attention comes shortly after Yamal helped Spain lift the FIFA World Cup trophy and publicly celebrated with García, confirming their relationship after months of speculation. Since then, the Spanish influencer has attracted millions of new followers while facing intense scrutiny on social media.

According to recent reports, García has also spoken publicly about receiving hundreds of thousands of hateful messages following the circulation of old clips and rumours surrounding her past. She urged people to show empathy instead of spreading online abuse.

As discussions continue across social media, many fans have called for caution, noting that short viral clips often lack full context and should not automatically be treated as an accurate reflection of someone’s present opinions.

Teenage Girls in Ghanaian Villages Face Growing Pressure as Poverty Deepens

A viral social media video is drawing attention to the harsh realities many teenage girls in Ghanaian villages face due to poverty. The interview, shared widely online, features young girls speaking about the challenges they encounter while growing up in economically disadvantaged communities.

Although the individual experiences shared in the video have not been independently verified, the discussion has resonated with thousands of viewers who believe it reflects the daily struggles of many young people in rural Ghana.

Poverty remains one of the biggest barriers affecting children and teenagers across several parts of the country. Limited access to quality education, healthcare, employment opportunities for families, and basic social services often place enormous pressure on young girls. These economic hardships can increase the risk of school dropout, child labour, early relationships, exploitation, and mental health challenges.

Many social commentators have used the viral interview to call for stronger community support, improved educational opportunities, youth empowerment programmes, and targeted government interventions to reduce poverty in rural communities.

While the video has generated emotional reactions online, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting children’s rights and creating opportunities that allow every Ghanaian child to reach their full potential regardless of where they are born.

Addressing rural poverty requires collaboration between government institutions, civil society organisations, community leaders, parents, and development partners to ensure vulnerable children receive the support they need.
