According to preliminary police investigations, the suspect and the victim were previously cohabiting and had a troubled relationship marked by frequent disagreements.

Sam George Vows Sustained Pressure on President Over Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill

Speaking on 7th December 2024, Sam George stressed that the bill reflects the moral, cultural, and religious values of the Ghanaian people and must not be delayed or sidelined by executive hesitation. According to him, the overwhelming support the bill received in Parliament makes it a national mandate rather than a partisan issue.

Sam George, one of the bill’s chief sponsors, argued that Ghana’s sovereignty and cultural identity must be protected against external pressures. He stated that no foreign government, donor agency, or international organisation should dictate Ghana’s laws, especially on matters deeply rooted in tradition and family values.

The Communications Minister maintained that President Mahama, having benefited from the democratic will of Ghanaians, has a responsibility to act in accordance with public sentiment. He warned that civil society pressure, parliamentary advocacy, and public engagement would continue until the bill receives presidential assent.

The Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill has sparked intense debate both locally and internationally, drawing reactions from human rights groups, religious bodies, and diplomatic missions. However, Sam George insists that Ghana’s democracy allows citizens to define their own moral framework without external interference.

He further emphasized that the bill does not promote hatred but seeks to preserve Ghanaian values and protect children and families. According to him, failure to sign the bill would amount to ignoring the voices of millions of Ghanaians.

As the debate continues, political analysts believe the President’s decision could significantly shape Ghana’s domestic politics and international relations in the months ahead.

Staff express fear after patient assaulted during treatment in Assin Wurakese facility

Health personnel at the Akoti Health Centre in Assin Wurakese, within the Assin Fosu Municipality of the Central Region, have called for enhanced security measures following a violent attack on a patient who was receiving treatment at the facility.

According to reports from staff, the incident occurred within the premises of the health centre when unknown individuals forcefully attacked a patient during active medical care. The situation reportedly caused panic among health workers, patients, and visitors, disrupting operations at the facility.

Health personnel say the absence of adequate security made it difficult to control the situation, leaving both staff and patients vulnerable. They warned that without urgent intervention, such incidents could discourage health workers from accepting postings to rural and peri-urban facilities.

Speaking on the matter, some staff members expressed concern that health centres are increasingly becoming targets for violence due to weak security infrastructure, especially during night shifts and emergency situations. They stressed that healthcare workers should not be exposed to danger while performing their professional duties.

The workers are therefore appealing to the Assin Fosu Municipal Assembly, the Ghana Health Service, and security agencies to deploy trained security personnel and improve surveillance at the facility. They believe measures such as fencing, security posts, and regular patrols would help prevent future attacks.

Residents of Assin Wurakese have also condemned the incident, calling for the arrest of those responsible and urging authorities to ensure the safety of healthcare facilities in the area.

The incident has renewed calls for a broader national discussion on protecting health workers and patients, particularly in community-based health centres across Ghana.

Speaking on the direction of national education policy, the minister emphasized that biological definitions of sex must remain clear and consistent across textbooks, teaching materials, and classroom instruction. According to him, any form of uncertainty or reinterpretation could confuse learners and undermine foundational knowledge taught in schools.

Haruna Iddrisu noted that Ghana’s education system must reflect scientific facts, societal values, and constitutional principles, adding that schools are not platforms for ideological experimentation. He stressed that education should focus on equipping students with practical knowledge that aligns with Ghana’s traditions and developmental goals.

The minister further explained that clarity in educational content helps teachers deliver lessons effectively and ensures students are not exposed to conflicting interpretations that could distract from academic excellence. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting the integrity of Ghana’s curriculum at all levels.

His comments come amid growing public discussions around gender-related topics globally, with many Ghanaians calling for clear boundaries in educational policy. Haruna Iddrisu assured parents, educators, and stakeholders that the Ministry of Education will continue to safeguard Ghana’s educational framework from confusion and inconsistency.

He concluded by stating that education must remain grounded, factual, and culturally responsible, ensuring that future generations receive knowledge that strengthens national identity rather than weakens it.

Adentan Circuit Court Sets Two Sureties for Evans Eshun

The Adentan Circuit Court has granted GHC100,000 bail to content creator and self-acclaimed prophet Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, as proceedings in his case continue.

The court granted bail with two sureties, one of whom is required to be justified. The case has been adjourned to March 18, 2026, for further hearing.

Ebo Noah was earlier remanded into police custody following the adjournment of proceedings, during which the court ordered that he undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital before his next appearance.

Background of the Case

Evans Eshun has been standing trial over issues that have drawn widespread public attention, largely due to his controversial social media content and self-proclaimed prophetic claims.

Ebo Noah Granted GHC100,000 Bail as Court Adjourns Case to March 18, 2026 22

During previous sittings, the court deemed it necessary to remand the accused while awaiting the outcome of psychiatric assessments to determine his mental fitness to stand trial.

Bail Conditions

In granting bail, the court set the amount at GHC100,000, with two sureties expected to guarantee his appearance at subsequent court dates. Failure to meet the bail conditions would result in the accused remaining in custody.

Legal observers note that the granting of bail does not affect the substance of the case, which will proceed when the court reconvenes.

Next Court Date

The case has been adjourned to March 18, 2026, when the court is expected to continue proceedings after reviewing all necessary reports and submissions from both the prosecution and the defence.

The matter continues to generate significant public interest, particularly among social media users, as developments unfold.

Daniel Jeddman Questions Chukwueze’s Penalty Attitude After Nigeria Exit

Ghanaian Journalist Says Referee Was Professional, Criticism Not Anti-Nigeria

As a Ghanaian, Daniel Jeddman has stated categorically that Ghanaians hold no ill will toward Nigeria and genuinely wanted the Super Eagles to excel in the tournament, describing Nigerians as “our brothers.”

img 2745
Daniel Jeddman Questions Chukwueze’s Penalty Attitude After Nigeria Exit 25

However, Jeddman says the manner in which Samuel Chukwueze took a crucial penalty has raised legitimate concerns that cannot be ignored.

“We all love Nigeria and wanted to see them do well. But seeing Chukwueze take a penalty like that was shocking. He looked neither ready nor serious,” Jeddman said.

A Penalty That Carried Millions of Emotions

According to Jeddman, the penalty moment represented one of the most important kicks of Chukwueze’s football career — a chance to give Nigeria a vital advantage.

Instead, the AC Milan winger stepped up chewing gum, glancing at cameras, and appearing unbothered, before striking what Jeddman described as “a back pass” to the goalkeeper.

“This was a crucial penalty with millions of Nigerians emotionally invested. You can’t step up that casually and expect people not to question your mindset,” he added.

Attitude Matters as Much as Outcome

While acknowledging that every footballer can miss a penalty, Jeddman stressed that attitude and body language matter greatly in high-pressure moments.

“I already know any player can miss a penalty. That’s football. But the attitude of the player missing the kick also matters,” he said.

Jeddman noted that even viewers with no professional football background could sense something was off, adding humorously that his sister remarked she could have struck the ball better.

Speculation Over Motivation

In his commentary, Jeddman cautiously suggested that the miss may have been influenced by frustration, pointing to Chukwueze’s limited involvement during the tournament.

“I reluctantly believe Chukwueze may have missed the penalty on purpose as a sign of payback for not being used enough. I say this reluctantly, not recklessly,” he clarified.

He emphasized that this view is personal analysis, not an accusation.

Defence of the Match Referee

Jeddman also defended the match official, describing the referee as calm, professional, and unbiased throughout the game.

“The referee was completely neutral and very professional. Nigeria should be happy to have had such officiating,” he stated.

Not Scapegoating, Just Stating the Obvious

Concluding his remarks, Jeddman rejected claims of scapegoating, insisting that his commentary reflects what many viewers observed.

“I’m not trying to scapegoat Chukwueze. I’m simply stating the obvious — what everyone saw with their own eyes,” he said.

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.

Mahama Considers Child Support Grant Policy for Newborn Babies

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 30

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.
