Adentan Circuit Court Resumes Proceedings in Evans Eshun Case

Content creator and self-acclaimed prophet Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, has been brought before the Adentan Circuit Court again today following his earlier remand into police custody.

Ebo Noah was previously remanded for two weeks after proceedings in his case were adjourned. During that sitting, the court directed that he undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital before his next appearance.

The directive formed part of the court’s effort to assess the mental fitness of the accused as legal proceedings continue.

Background of the Case

Evans Eshun, who has gained notoriety on social media for his prophetic claims and controversial content, was first arraigned before the Adentan Circuit Court earlier this month. At the time, the court deemed it necessary to remand him while awaiting further developments in the case.

His remand followed submissions by prosecutors and observations made during earlier court sessions, prompting the judge to order a psychiatric assessment to determine his state of mind.

Psychiatric Evaluation at Pantang

Pantang Psychiatric Hospital, Ghana’s leading mental health facility, was tasked with conducting the evaluation as ordered by the court. The outcome of the assessment is expected to inform the court’s next decisions regarding the case, including possible bail considerations or continuation of trial proceedings.

Public Interest and Online Reactions

The case has attracted significant public attention, particularly on social media, where Ebo Noah commands a sizable following. Reactions have been mixed, with some supporters calling for due process, while others argue that the court’s actions are necessary to protect public interest.

Legal analysts note that psychiatric evaluations are standard legal procedures when questions arise regarding an accused person’s mental capacity to stand trial.

Proceedings in the case are expected to continue as the court reviews reports from the psychiatric assessment and hears further submissions from both prosecution and defence.

Proposal Aims to Reduce Child Poverty and Support Families from Birth

President John Dramani Mahama has revealed that a future government under his leadership is considering the introduction of a Child Support Grant policy aimed at supporting newborn babies and easing the financial burden on families.

Mahama Considers Child Support Grant Policy for Newborn Babies 4

Speaking on social intervention policies, Mr Mahama said the proposed initiative would focus on providing direct financial support to parents immediately after childbirth, especially those in low-income households. According to him, early childhood support is critical to national development and social equity.

“My government is considering the introduction of a Child Support Grant policy to support newborn babies,” Mahama stated.

The policy, if implemented, would align Ghana with several countries that provide state-backed child welfare grants to ensure children have access to nutrition, healthcare, and basic needs during the most critical stages of life.

Addressing Poverty from Birth

Mr Mahama explained that many Ghanaian families struggle financially immediately after childbirth due to medical bills, feeding costs, and loss of income during maternity periods. The Child Support Grant would serve as a social safety net, ensuring that no child begins life at a disadvantage because of economic hardship.

Policy analysts say such a grant could help reduce infant mortality, improve early childhood nutrition, and enhance long-term educational outcomes.

Who Will Benefit?

Although full policy details are yet to be released, sources indicate that the grant may:

Target newborns from vulnerable and low-income households Be administered through existing social protection systems Complement programmes like LEAP and NHIS

Mr Mahama emphasized that investing in children is not charity but nation-building, noting that strong early-life support translates into a more productive future workforce.

Political and Public Reactions

The announcement has sparked debate across social media and policy circles. Supporters describe the proposal as forward-thinking and humane, while critics are questioning funding sources and implementation sustainability.

However, social development experts argue that structured child grants often reduce long-term government spending by preventing future social problems.

As Ghana prepares for future elections, the Child Support Grant proposal is expected to feature prominently in policy discussions, particularly among youth, parents, and social welfare advocates.

Comment comparing romance scam claims to consensual relationships draws mixed reactions

A remark attributed to one of the lawyers representing Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, and his co-accused has triggered widespread discussion online following ongoing legal proceedings involving alleged romance scam claims.

According to reports, the lawyer was quoted as saying:

“You say you love me and I ask you for money and you give me, how is this a crime? If this is a romance scam, then arrest all the slay queens.”

The statement, which has since circulated widely on social media, has drawn mixed reactions from the public. While some commentators argue that the lawyer was attempting to distinguish consensual financial support within relationships from criminal fraud, others have criticised the comparison as insensitive and misleading.

Legal analysts note that romance scam cases are typically determined by intent, deception, and misrepresentation, rather than the mere act of receiving money. They stress that courts assess whether there was deliberate manipulation or false pretence used to obtain funds.

The comment has also reignited broader conversations about financial expectations in relationships, online dating, and the legal boundaries between personal gifts and alleged fraud.

Meanwhile, the case involving Abu Trica and his associates remains before the courts, with legal proceedings ongoing. Authorities have yet to issue any official response to the circulating statement, and all accused persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Suspects reportedly targeted students and young ladies using private vehicles

Police have arrested five suspects in connection with a series of alleged robbery and sexual assault cases targeting young women and students.

The suspects have been identified by police as David Adusah, also known as “Viber,” aged 19; Samuel Amantor, alias “Road,” aged 21; Andrew Odei, alias “Salinco,” aged 21; Sharif Mohammed, also known as “Isco,” aged 18; and Joseph Addo Ofori, alias “Moves.”

According to police sources, the suspects allegedly operated as a gang and targeted young females by offering them lifts in a private vehicle. Under the pretext of helping them reach their destinations, the victims were reportedly taken to secluded locations along the Morso Road.

Investigations indicate that the suspects allegedly robbed the victims of their personal belongings before sexually assaulting them. Police further disclosed that the victims were later abandoned at isolated locations or pushed out of the vehicle before the suspects fled the scene.

Controversial church ritual raises serious ethical, medical, and moral questions

A viral video circulating on social media has ignited widespread condemnation after a pastor from the Democratic Republic of Congo allegedly claimed he could cure breast cancer during a church service using highly inappropriate methods.

In the footage, which has triggered intense debate across Africa and beyond, the clergyman is seen performing what he describes as a “healing ritual” on a woman while surrounded by church members and cameras. The act, broadcast as a miracle healing, has been strongly criticised by medical professionals, religious leaders, and human rights advocates.

Health experts have categorically dismissed the claims, stating that breast cancer cannot be treated or cured through physical contact or religious rituals, warning that such actions may delay proper medical care and place lives at risk.

Christian leaders across denominations have also condemned the incident, describing it as a gross abuse of spiritual authority and a betrayal of Christian values. Many argue that such acts damage the credibility of genuine faith leaders and deepen public distrust toward religious institutions.

“This is not Christianity. This is manipulation disguised as faith,” one Ghanaian pastor said during a radio discussion reacting to the footage.

Social media users have expressed anger and disappointment, with many calling for authorities in Congo to investigate the pastor for possible misconduct, exploitation, and medical misinformation. Others have urged congregants to seek professional healthcare and to be cautious of so-called miracle healers making extraordinary claims without accountability.

As the video continues to spread, the incident serves as a painful reminder of how desperation, faith, and false hope can be dangerously exploited — leaving the wider Christian community to grapple with the reputational damage caused by a few controversial figures.

University researchers embrace AI-powered scholarship and global knowledge sharing

Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) continues to strengthen its position as one of Africa’s leading research institutions, following growing engagement with JSTOR’s digital academic resources.

KNUST Records Growing Academic Impact Through JSTOR Engagement and Digital Research Tools 14

Recent institutional engagement data shows that students, lecturers, and researchers at KNUST are increasingly relying on JSTOR not just for traditional journal access, but also for advanced research tools that enhance discovery, collaboration, and academic productivity.

Beyond standard article downloads, KNUST scholars actively use JSTOR’s Workspace to save, organize, and annotate academic materials for long-term research and teaching. This reflects a shift toward deeper, more intentional scholarship across disciplines including engineering, applied sciences, economics, African studies, and public policy.

Notably, the adoption of JSTOR’s AI-assisted research tools has improved how users navigate large volumes of academic literature. These tools help researchers identify relevant sources faster, summarize complex materials, and support efficient literature reviews—an advantage particularly valuable in postgraduate and faculty-led research.

KNUST’s digital research footprint has also expanded beyond campus borders. A recent scholarly article published on GhanaMedia.net served as an external referral point, directing readers to JSTOR-hosted academic resources relevant to Ghanaian and African development discourse. This highlights how credible media platforms can bridge academic research and public knowledge.

Institutional oversight of JSTOR engagement at KNUST is coordinated under the administration of Daniel Jeddman, ensuring effective access management and alignment with the university’s academic mission.

As global research increasingly moves toward digital and AI-supported environments, KNUST’s growing engagement with JSTOR demonstrates the university’s commitment to innovation, research excellence, and global academic relevance.

School authorities cite disciplinary breach as reason for decisive action

Management of Breman Asikuma Senior High School in the Central Region has reportedly taken disciplinary action against some students after they were found culpable in what school authorities described as an “adulterous act” on campus.

According to sources close to the school administration, the decision followed internal investigations into an incident that allegedly violated the institution’s code of conduct and moral guidelines. The matter was said to have been thoroughly reviewed by school authorities before the final decision to expel the students involved was reached.

While details surrounding the incident remain limited, officials insist the action was necessary to uphold discipline, protect the school’s reputation, and deter similar behaviour among the student population. The administration is believed to have followed established disciplinary procedures before arriving at the sanction.

The development has since triggered mixed reactions among parents, education stakeholders, and members of the public. Some have commended the school for enforcing discipline, arguing that strong measures are required to maintain moral standards in second-cycle institutions. Others, however, believe expulsion may be too harsh and are calling for counselling, rehabilitation, or alternative disciplinary measures instead.

Education analysts have also weighed in, urging school authorities nationwide to strike a balance between discipline and student welfare, especially in cases involving young people still undergoing moral and emotional development.

As of now, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has not officially commented on the incident. Further updates are expected as more details emerge regarding the circumstances surrounding the expulsion.
