Former Environment Minister says party’s core values have been abandoned

Prof. Frimpong-Boateng rejects current direction of NPP

Former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation and senior statesman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has publicly distanced himself from the current leadership and direction of the party.

According to the respected academic and politician, the core values, principles, and traditions that once defined the NPP have been significantly eroded. He stated that the party he once served with pride no longer reflects the ideals upon which it was founded.

Prof. Frimpong-Boateng described the present state of the NPP as a “fake version” of the party, stressing that he cannot identify with leadership decisions and internal practices that, in his view, undermine integrity, accountability, and service to the Ghanaian people.

His comments add to growing concerns among party faithful and political observers about internal dissatisfaction within the NPP, particularly from founding members and senior figures who believe the party has drifted from its original ideological path.

The former minister, who has been vocal in recent years about governance, environmental protection, and ethical leadership, emphasized that political parties must remain grounded in their founding values to maintain public trust and national relevance.

According to Mzbel, the famous 666, often described in the Bible as the “number of the beast,” is not something people should be waiting to appear in the future, because it already exists in everyday life through the internet and modern technology.

“People are waiting for the beast to appear, but it’s already here. 666 is already here and it’s the internet we all use,” Mzbel stated. She went on to argue that anyone who uses a smartphone and the internet has already embraced it, while those who do not, in her view, have not taken part in it.

Mzbel further explained that digital platforms, especially music streaming platforms, go beyond technology and science, describing them as spiritual platforms. She claimed these platforms are intentionally labelled as technology to make them sound appealing, while their true nature, according to her, is spiritual.

“And all those music platforms, they are all spiritual platforms. They call it technology or science because they want it to sound nice in your ear, but it is spiritual and it’s not free,” she said.

The singer also alleged that musicians who upload their songs onto digital platforms are unknowingly engaging in a spiritual trade, claiming the platforms take an artist’s energy in exchange for exposure and reach.

Her comments have since triggered mixed reactions online, with some agreeing with her spiritual interpretation of modern technology, while others have dismissed the claims as extreme or misleading. Critics argue that technology is simply a tool, while supporters believe her statements highlight deeper spiritual concerns about digital dependence.

As the conversation continues to trend across Ghana media platforms, Mzbel’s remarks have once again placed her at the centre of national discussion, reinforcing her reputation for outspoken and controversial views on religion, spirituality, and society.

The victims were identified as the suspect’s father, brother, uncle, 7-year-old cousin, as well as a church pastor and the pastor’s brother. Law enforcement officials say the attacks unfolded in a rural area, sending shockwaves through the tight-knit community.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect moved between multiple locations, carrying out the shootings within a short time frame. Police were alerted after reports of gunfire and quickly launched a manhunt, eventually apprehending the suspect without further casualties.

Authorities have not yet publicly disclosed a motive for the killings. However, investigators say the incident appears to involve domestic and community-related violence, with no immediate indication of terrorism or gang involvement.

Residents described the victims as well-known and respected members of the community, particularly the pastor, who was said to be deeply involved in local church activities and outreach. The killing of a 7-year-old child has drawn widespread outrage and grief.

Law enforcement agencies have increased patrols in the area as investigations continue. Officials say the suspect is expected to face multiple murder charges, and prosecutors are preparing for what is likely to be a high-profile court case.

Community leaders and church members have called for prayers and support for the affected families, as the rural town struggles to come to terms with one of the deadliest incidents in its recent history.

Musician Warns Spiritual Leader to Be Ready for Confrontation

Ghanaian musician Young Don has publicly accused popular spiritual leader Prophet Kwabena Asiamah, widely known as Ajagurajah, of allegedly trying to kill him — a claim that has ignited fierce reactions online. In a viral video shared on social media, Young Don warned Ajagurajah to “be ready for him too,” suggesting that the conflict between them could escalate. 

The feud appears rooted in personal disputes that have played out online and on video platforms, with Young Don repeatedly challenging and lambasting Ajagurajah in comments and clips circulating on Facebook and Instagram. Young Don insists that Ajagurajah’s actions and influence have negatively affected him and has even attributed his personal challenges to the preacher’s involvement, though specific incidents surrounding the alleged attempt remain unverified publicly.

There is no official confirmation from authorities regarding any attempt on Young Don’s life, and claims of violent intent have not been independently corroborated at this time. The dispute has, however, fueled intense online debate, with supporters of both sides weighing in across social media platforms. 

Ajagurajah has previously responded to similar accusations, denying involvement in Young Don’s health issues and rejecting responsibility for his personal challenges.

Cleric Advises Couples to Focus on Commitment Over Cost

Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has shared practical advice for couples considering marriage, emphasizing that weddings should not be a source of financial stress. According to the Archbishop, “Wedding is a liability if you don’t have money, but is an asset if you have the means. Do weddings, but don’t stress yourself if you don’t have the means.”

He further encouraged couples to prioritize the spiritual and relational aspects of marriage over extravagant celebrations. “Just come to church with your spouse, provide rings, I’ll bless them. Go home and have babies,” he added, highlighting the importance of commitment and family over costly ceremonies.

Should the Law Deal Equally With Armed Robbers and Land Guards in Ghana? Yes/No?

Rising insecurity sparks debate over equal justice for violent crimes

The growing menace of armed robbers and land guards across Ghana has reignited a national debate on whether the law should treat both groups with equal severity. As violent incidents linked to land disputes and robberies continue to dominate headlines, many Ghanaians are asking a critical question: should justice apply equally to both?

Yes — the law must deal with armed robbers and land guards equally or No — They must be treated separately.

Both armed robbers and land guards employ violence, intimidation, and weapons to terrorise citizens. While armed robbers often attack motorists, homes, and businesses, land guards are increasingly linked to shootings, assaults, and killings arising from land ownership disputes. In effect, the impact on public safety is the same — fear, loss of life, and instability.

Should the Law Deal Equally With Armed Robbers and Land Guards in Ghana? Yes/No? 20

Although land guards sometimes operate under the guise of protecting property or enforcing land claims, their actions frequently violate the law. The use of firearms, machetes, and hired muscle to settle disputes undermines the rule of law and fuels insecurity, especially in urban and peri-urban communities.

Ghana’s legal system must therefore send a clear message that violence is violence, regardless of the label attached to the perpetrator. Selective enforcement or leniency only emboldens criminal networks and weakens public confidence in the justice system.

Law enforcement agencies have made notable arrests in recent months, but critics argue that inconsistent prosecution and political interference have allowed some land guard activities to persist. Equal treatment under the law would not only deter crime but also encourage lawful avenues for resolving land disputes through the courts.

As the issue continues to trend across Ghana media platforms, many citizens believe a firm, unbiased application of the law is essential to restoring peace and protecting innocent lives. Justice, they argue, must not differentiate between crimes that produce the same deadly consequences.
