According to the police, Ebo Noah is neither a pastor nor a carpenter, contrary to claims circulating widely on social media. Law enforcement authorities clarified that he is actually a graduate who works as a security man at Cecilia Primary School.

The revelation follows heightened scrutiny of Ebo Noah after his viral prophecies, including alarming predictions that caused fear, panic, and in some cases influenced the movement of individuals across borders. The police emphasized that misinformation surrounding his identity contributed significantly to the public confusion and credibility he appeared to enjoy online.

The Ghana Police Service noted that while freedom of expression and religious belief are protected, individuals who present themselves as religious leaders or prophets must not engage in actions that threaten public safety, national security, or social stability.

Authorities reiterated their commitment to investigating the matter thoroughly and cautioned the public against spreading unverified claims or elevating individuals based solely on social media narratives.

The police further urged citizens to rely on credible sources for information and to report any content or actions that may incite fear or panic.

According to Kaakyire Kwame Appiah, King Paluta featured on his latest track but refused to take any money for the collaboration. The decision, he said, left him genuinely shocked, considering the growing stature and popularity of King Paluta in Ghana’s music industry.

Speaking after the music video shoot, Kaakyire Kwame Appiah explained that he personally prepared a large envelope of money to appreciate King Paluta for his contribution. However, the rapper once again declined the offer.

“He told me it was even a privilege to be on my song,” Kaakyire Kwame Appiah revealed.

The veteran musician described King Paluta as exceptionally respectful, humble, and grounded, qualities he believes are becoming rare in the entertainment space. He noted that such character is just as important as talent and could take an artist far beyond music.

King Paluta’s gesture has since sparked admiration among fans and industry observers, many of whom see it as a sign of mutual respect and genuine love for the craft rather than financial gain. The story has also reignited conversations about humility, gratitude, and collaboration within Ghana’s creative industry.

As anticipation builds around the yet-to-be-released track, fans are not only excited about the music but also inspired by the values displayed behind the scenes.

Reports emerging from Indonesia indicate that Valencia coach Fernando Martin and his three children have tragically died following a boating accident that occurred over the weekend.

According to preliminary information, the family was traveling on a small private boat when it reportedly capsized in rough waters off the Indonesian coast. Local rescue teams were quickly deployed after distress alerts were raised, but efforts to save the occupants were unsuccessful.

Authorities say the incident happened during what was meant to be a private family outing, though the exact cause of the capsizing is still under investigation. Initial findings point to strong waves and unstable weather conditions as possible contributing factors.

Fernando Martin, widely known for his involvement with Valencia’s coaching setup, was described by colleagues and fans as a dedicated professional and a devoted father. News of his death has sent shockwaves through the football community in Spain and beyond.

Valencia CF is yet to release an official detailed statement, but sources close to the club say players and technical staff are deeply devastated by the sudden loss. Messages of condolence have already begun pouring in from fans, football figures, and sports institutions across Europe and Africa.

Indonesian maritime authorities have confirmed that investigations are ongoing to determine whether safety regulations were breached and to establish the full circumstances surrounding the tragedy.

The bodies of the victims are expected to be repatriated following coordination between Indonesian officials and the Spanish embassy.

This heartbreaking incident adds to growing concerns over marine safety in tourist and private boat operations across parts of Southeast Asia.

Breaking News (Satire): “NPP Robber” Arrested With ‘Village Negotiator’ Weapon

Police in a dramatic but entirely satirical operation have arrested a man described online as an “NPP robber” and former Invisible Forces executive after he was allegedly found in possession of a so-called modern sophisticated weapon.

Breaking News (Satire): “NPP Robber” Arrested With ‘Village Negotiator’ Weapon 10

According to tongue-in-cheek police briefings circulating on social media, the weapon is a locally-forged Mk I Village Negotiator™, reportedly featuring dual-barrel kinetic persuasion modules, hand-welded intimidation brackets, and zero-day ergonomics. Authorities jokingly described its firing system as “morale-driven,” boasting a 99% psychological uptime and, unsurprisingly, no user manual.

The mock description further claims the device spots two .38 “olonka” round barrels, allegedly powered by a creative blend of engine oil and palm oil (original zomi) — a detail that has fueled widespread laughter and memes across Ghanaian social media platforms.

In perhaps the most viral claim, the weapon is said to double as a multi-purpose domestic appliance, capable of being “filled with LPG to cook beans,” blurring the line between satire, folklore, and internet comedy.

The suspect, according to the parody narrative, had planned to use the contraption in the near future to snatch ballot boxes during NPP primaries. This fictional allegation triggered an even more exaggerated police response.

“In view of the extreme sophistication of this weapon,” the satirical statement added, “the public is advised to stay away from the NPP until the year 2054.”

The story, clearly intended as political satire, has gone viral for its absurdity and exaggerated commentary on election security, political vigilantism, and homemade weapons narratives that often dominate online discourse during election seasons.

Observers are urging readers to treat the story as comedy, not journalism, noting that no such police advisory or weapon exists, and that the content is meant purely for entertainment.

The arrest follows weeks of public concern after Ebo Noah circulated viral videos predicting catastrophic events, including deaths, disasters, and national instability. Authorities say the prophecies caused fear, panic, and psychological distress among sections of the public, particularly on platforms such as TikTok and Facebook.

According to police sources, the Cyber Vetting Team acted after reviewing multiple complaints and digital evidence linking the suspect to content deemed capable of disturbing public peace and security. Investigators say the videos were not only misleading but also violated provisions of Ghana’s cybercrime and public order laws.

Following his arrest, Prophet Ebo Noah is currently assisting police with investigations while legal processes continue. The Ghana Police Service has also issued a strong warning to individuals who use social media to spread fear, false prophecies, or unverified spiritual claims that threaten national stability.

“The freedom of worship and expression does not extend to the deliberate creation of panic or fear among citizens,” a police statement emphasized, urging the public to report similar content for prompt action.

The Police Service further encouraged Ghanaians to rely on credible information sources and avoid sharing sensational content that could inflame public anxiety.

An Accra Circuit Court has fined Abubakari Sadick, popularly known as Cyborg, GH¢24,000 for unlawfully discharging a firearm during a public gathering in Accra.

The incident, which quickly went viral on social media, showed Cyborg firing a gun into the air in excitement at a meet-up involving Nigerian music star Asake, shortly after the artiste arrived in Ghana for the AfroFuture Festival. What began as celebration soon escalated into a serious legal matter.

What Happened in Court

Cyborg pleaded guilty to charges of possessing and unlawfully using a firearm. The court consequently fined him 2,000 penalty units, equivalent to GH¢24,000.

The presiding judge made it clear that failure to pay the fine would result in up to two years’ imprisonment.

In delivering its ruling, the court emphasized that celebratory gunfire is a dangerous act that endangers lives, regardless of the intent behind it. The judge stressed that even if a firearm is legally owned, it must never be discharged in public spaces.

The offence falls under Ghana’s Firearms Act, 1962 (Act 118), which strictly prohibits the public use of firearms without lawful justification. The court reiterated that having a gun license does not grant permission to fire it in public—under any circumstance.

Asake’s Plea and Presidential Response

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, President John Mahama addressed the issue after musician Asake, during a separate encounter with him, attempted to plead on Cyborg’s behalf. Asake reportedly cited excitement as the cause of the incident.

President Mahama, however, stated firmly that due process would be followed, reinforcing the government’s commitment to the rule of law and public safety.

The case has since reignited conversations around firearm safety, celebrity influence, and accountability at public events in Ghana.

Ayew becomes the third Ghanaian in the NAC Breda squad, joining fellow internationals Denis Odoi and Kamal Sowah, strengthening the club’s Ghanaian contingent. 

Court Orders ‘Ailing’ Abu Trica to Receive State-Funded Medical Care Amid US Extradition Case

0

By Ghana Media | Accra

An Accra Circuit Court has ordered that Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, be admitted to a state-funded medical facility after his legal team raised concerns over his deteriorating health amid ongoing extradition proceedings to the United States.

The order was issued on Tuesday after defence lawyers informed the court that Abu Trica was seriously unwell and required immediate medical attention beyond what could be managed in custody. The court ruled that access to healthcare is a fundamental right and directed state authorities to ensure he receives proper treatment at a government hospital.

Abu Trica is currently facing extradition proceedings following a request from United States authorities, who are reportedly seeking his transfer to stand trial over alleged financial and cyber-related offences. While the substance of the extradition request is still being examined by the court, the judge emphasised that the suspect’s health must not be compromised during the legal process.

State prosecutors did not oppose the medical request but insisted that security arrangements must remain intact while Abu Trica is receiving treatment. The court accordingly ordered that he be placed under appropriate supervision throughout his admission to prevent any interference with the ongoing case.

The defence welcomed the ruling, describing it as a humane decision that upholds constitutional protections. According to counsel, Abu Trica has been experiencing persistent health challenges that require urgent medical evaluation and sustained care.

The extradition proceedings have been adjourned to a later date to allow medical professionals to assess his condition and submit reports to the court. The judge noted that the outcome of the health assessment may influence how future hearings are scheduled but will not halt the extradition process entirely.

The case has attracted public attention due to its international dimension and the broader implications for Ghana’s cooperation with foreign law enforcement agencies. Observers say the court’s decision reflects a balance between respecting human rights and fulfilling international legal obligations.

Abu Trica remains in lawful custody pending further directives from the court as the extradition hearings continue.

A thorough search of the vehicle uncovered 2,600 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, which had been carefully concealed in containers to avoid detection. Further inspection revealed additional suspicious items, including bulletproof plates, a helmet, and military-style boots, hidden beneath the driver’s seat.

Police officials say the discovery raises serious security concerns, particularly given the nature and quantity of the ammunition involved. The identities of the suspects have not yet been disclosed as investigations remain ongoing.

The two men are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations to establish the source and intended destination of the ammunition. The bus involved in the operation, along with all seized items, has been impounded for further forensic and security analysis.

The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has reiterated its commitment to combating the illegal circulation of firearms and ammunition, urging the public to cooperate with law enforcement by reporting suspicious activities.
