A shocking act of violence has rocked a local community after a 16-year-old boy allegedly stabbed his 35-year-old neighbour to death in a cult-related ritual killing.

The victim, identified as Esther Ijeoma Obasi, was reportedly attacked by the teenage suspect, Chinonso Ejike, after showing him kindness earlier in the day. According to reports, the woman had served the boy food because he was hungry and his mother was not at home.

Tragically, only a few hours later, the suspect allegedly returned with a knife and attacked Esther, stabbing her eight to nine times until she collapsed. Investigators say the boy then dragged her bleeding body to a bush behind their residence and submerged it in a swamp in an attempt to hide the crime.

Following his arrest, Chinonso reportedly made a confessional statement to the police, admitting that he carried out the killing as a requirement to gain promotion to a higher rank within his cult group.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage and renewed concerns about the growing influence of cultism among minors, as well as the safety of residents in vulnerable communities.

Police authorities have confirmed that investigations are ongoing, and the suspect remains in custody as legal processes continue. Community leaders and residents are calling for stronger action against cult activities and better protection for civilians.

Legendary former Black Stars goalkeeper Sammy Adjei has stirred excitement among Ghanaian football fans after declaring he is fully ready to return to national duty if the country calls on him for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking in an interview, the former Hearts of Oak shot-stopper confidently stated that although he has been away from active football, his vast experience gives him an advantage that never fades.

According to him, goalkeeping is a craft that relies heavily on instinct, timing, and understanding of the game—qualities he believes he still possesses at a high level.

“The World Cup is six months away, right? I can use three months for training.

Let me tell you something: you see, you have experience in this job, so even when you stay at home, you can still work. It is the same for us,” Sammy Adjei said.

His comments have sparked discussions about whether the Black Stars should consider tapping into the experience of former national players as Ghana prepares for its crucial group-stage matches, including the highly anticipated encounter with England.

Some fans argue that his leadership and experience could help stabilize Ghana’s defense, while others believe the team must focus on younger, active players. Still, Sammy Adjei’s confidence has added an intriguing twist to Ghana’s World Cup conversations.

For now, the ball is in the hands of the technical team and the Ghana Football Association as the nation gears up for a competitive global tournament.

AS Monaco’s defensive partnership is growing stronger each week — and this time, Mohammed Salisu and Paul Pogba have given fans another moment to talk about. Pogba, who has openly praised Salisu in recent weeks, was full of excitement once again after the Ghanaian defender delivered a top-class performance against Galatasaray.

Salisu started and finished the full match, commanding Monaco’s backline with authority, calmness, and intelligent positioning. His numbers on the night reflected a complete defensive masterclass:

Mohammed Salisu vs Galatasaray

• 90 minutes played

• 40 touches

• 22/29 passes completed

• 8 clearances

• 3 aerial duels won

• 2 ground duels won

• 1 shot blocked

• 1/1 tackles won

Salisu finished with a 7.7 rating, the second-highest among all defenders in the match — a testament to his growing influence in the Monaco setup.

After the final whistle, Pogba was visibly thrilled, applauding Salisu’s consistency and composure. Their chemistry on and off the field has become one of Monaco’s brightest positives this season, with supporters already calling them one of the club’s most exciting duos.

For Ghana, Salisu’s evolving confidence at club level is welcome news as he continues to build momentum ahead of future national team duties.

Ghanaian National Indicted in $8 Million U.S. Romance Fraud Scheme

A federal grand jury in the United States has returned a two-count indictment against a Ghanaian national accused of orchestrating a large-scale romance fraud scheme that defrauded elderly victims of more than $8 million.

According to court documents in the recently unsealed indictment, 31-year-old Frederick Kumi, also known as Emmanuel Kojo Baah Obeng and Abu Trica, allegedly operated as part of a criminal network that targeted vulnerable elderly individuals through online romance scams across multiple U.S. states.

The indictment outlines that the scheme began in 2023, during which Kumi and his associates posed as potential romantic partners on various platforms to gain trust, manipulate victims emotionally, and ultimately persuade them to send large sums of money. Prosecutors say many of the victims believed they were helping someone they loved and trusted, only to later discover they had been deceived.

Investigators revealed that the criminal group used sophisticated methods—including fake identities, fraudulent narratives, and coordinated international money transfers—to execute the operation. Funds from victims were allegedly routed through a network of accounts before reaching Ghana, making the transactions difficult to trace.

U.S. authorities worked closely with international partners, including Ghanaian law enforcement, to track Kumi’s activities. After months of investigation, Kumi was arrested in Ghana on December 11, 2025, following a coordinated operation between U.S. federal agents and Ghanaian security agencies.

Federal prosecutors say the charges carry significant penalties, and if convicted, Kumi faces a lengthy prison sentence alongside restitution orders intended to compensate the victims. Officials emphasized that the indictment represents a major step in combating transnational fraud networks that continue to exploit elderly Americans.

Romance scams have become one of the fastest-growing forms of online fraud in the United States, with losses in the billions annually. Authorities warn that these schemes often rely on emotional manipulation, making them especially destructive and devastating for victims.

Law enforcement agencies in both countries have reiterated their commitment to dismantling fraud syndicates and holding perpetrators accountable. The investigation remains ongoing, with additional suspects possibly facing charges as evidence develops.

Razak Pimpong’s Son, Malik Engholm Pimpong, Scores Again in UEFA Youth League

Malik (Razak) Engholm Pimpong, the 17-year-old son of former Ghana Black Stars forward Razak Pimpong, continues to make waves in European youth football after scoring for FC Midtjylland U19 in their UEFA Youth League clash against FC Köln U19 on Wednesday.

Despite Midtjylland suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat, Malik delivered the Danish side’s only goal of the match. His composed finish once again showcased his attacking instincts, technical quality, and on-field maturity. Notably, Malik captains the U19 team, an impressive feat for a 17-year-old competing at this level.

This latest goal brings Malik’s tally to four goals in four UEFA Youth League matches, underlining his consistency and rising status within Midtjylland’s youth setup. Scouts and analysts across Europe have taken notice of his rapid development, describing him as one of Denmark’s most promising young forwards.

Malik signed his first professional contract with FC Midtjylland in January 2024, marking a major milestone as he follows the football path carved by his father. His progress mirrors Razak Pimpong’s youth days, building on a family football legacy that spans decades.

His father, Razak Pimpong, remains a celebrated figure in both Ghanaian and Danish football. Razak spent several successful years in Denmark with FC Midtjylland and FC Copenhagen, winning the Danish Superliga, Danish Cup, and earning recognition for his hardworking, energetic playing style. Internationally, he represented Ghana at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, 2004 Olympic Games, and the U-20 World Cup.

Today, Razak works as a coach in Denmark and raises Malik with his Danish wife, Betina Engholm. Observers often note that Malik blends the athleticism and flair of his Ghanaian roots with the discipline and structure of Danish football—an ideal combination for a modern forward.

With his pace, dribbling ability, and instinctive eye for goal, the young forward is steadily emerging as one of Denmark’s brightest youth talents. If he maintains his current trajectory, Malik could soon break into senior football and potentially draw attention from top European clubs.

For now, his performances in the UEFA Youth League continue to cement his reputation as a future star and a worthy torchbearer of the Pimpong legacy.

Kobbie Mainoo’s Bold Statement Sparks Debate: “I’m British and Will Always Remain British”

A powerful comment attributed to England and Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is causing widespread conversation across Ghana and the African football community. According to circulating reports, Mainoo revealed that a painful story shared by his father shaped his stance on representing Ghana at international level.

Mainoo is quoted as saying that his father once told him about a close friend who played for the Ghana national team many years ago. During a match, the player sustained a serious injury that required urgent medical treatment. However, he was allegedly left on his own to manage the costs and recovery. Due to the lack of institutional support, he struggled to afford the needed medication and eventually passed away from complications.

The midfielder reportedly added that this tragic experience changed his entire mindset about playing for Ghana or any African national team. “Since then, my mindset about Ghana and Africa changed. I’m British and will always remain British,” he is quoted as saying.

The statement—whether personal, emotional or symbolic—has sparked intense debate online. Many Ghanaians expressed disappointment but also acknowledged the deeper issues exposed in the story. Others argued that the midfielder’s comments highlight long-standing systemic failures within African football systems, especially the lack of welfare structures for both current and retired players.

Social media discussions quickly shifted from criticism to self-reflection, with many users admitting that Africa’s sports management challenges are often rooted in corruption, neglect and administrative incompetence.

Commentators say the situation reflects a broader pattern: African talents born abroad frequently choose to represent European nations, not because they lack love for their heritage, but due to fears about mismanagement, lack of professional structures, and stories like the one Mainoo reportedly shared.

Critics argue that Ghana and other African football federations must prioritize player welfare, pension systems, medical insurance, and transparency if they want to retain their most promising diasporan talents. Supporters of Mainoo’s perspective said the incident demonstrates a painful truth—Africa struggles to protect even the players it already has.

The conversation has reignited calls for reforms across the continent’s football administration, with fans urging leaders to reflect on why many young stars feel safer committing to foreign national teams.

Nigerian University Student Expelled After Leaking Intimate Tapes With Lecturer

A female university student in Nigeria has reportedly been expelled after authorities uncovered alleged academic misconduct involving a secret affair with one of her lecturers. The developing situation has sparked widespread debate across social media, especially after the student publicly leaked intimate videos she recorded during their relationship.

According to multiple reports, the student admitted to maintaining a brief but secret affair with the lecturer, whose identity remains undisclosed. She confessed that the relationship involved several intimate encounters, which she claimed were exchanged in hopes of influencing her academic grades.

The incident took an unexpected turn when the student uploaded the videos online. She alleged that the lecturer had promised her favourable grades in return for their private relationship, but failed to fulfil his part of the agreement. After her academic results reportedly did not improve—and with disciplinary actions initiated against her—the student decided to release the recorded tapes as evidence.

The release of the videos has since caused outrage within the school community, prompting the institution’s management to launch a full-scale investigation. Officials indicate that the move aims at restoring order and ensuring accountability among students and faculty members.

The school board condemned both the inappropriate relationship and the circulation of explicit content, stressing that both parties may face further consequences pending the outcome of the inquiry. Students on campus have expressed mixed reactions: some say the leak was an act of retaliation, while others argue that it highlights the deep-rooted issue of coercion and exploitation in academic settings.

Authorities are now reviewing the lecturer’s conduct to determine whether he abused his position or breached institutional ethics. The student, meanwhile, faces dismissal due to violation of the school’s behavioural and academic integrity policies, including engaging in forbidden relationships and distributing explicit material.

The case has sparked broader discussions about sexual misconduct, lecturer-student relationships, and the need for stronger protective policies in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions. Investigations remain ongoing.

John Dumelo’s Farming Success Shows Why Chasing Fame Without Income Is Useless

Ghanaian actor-turned-agripreneur John Dumelo continues to inspire thousands as his remarkable financial transformation gains renewed attention. According to close industry sources, Dumelo now earns over GH₵20 million monthly from his large-scale farming operations—an income that far outweighs what he made during his acting career.

Before entering full-time agriculture, Dumelo was one of Ghana’s most recognisable actors—highly celebrated, constantly in the public eye, and admired across the continent. Yet despite the fame, the financial returns were nowhere near life-changing. At the peak of his acting days, he reportedly made around GH₵600,000 monthly through acting fees, endorsements, and appearances. It was good money, but nothing compared to what he earns now.

Friends close to the actor say that although he was famous, he felt financially restricted and saw no long-term security in depending on entertainment alone. With rising costs, inconsistent acting roles, and unstable income streams, Dumelo quietly began plotting a switch. That switch became the boldest and smartest move of his life.

Dumelo eventually invested heavily in agriculture—cultivating rice, maize, vegetables, livestock, and other products at industrial scale. Today, his farms employ hundreds, supply multiple regions, and remain one of the most successful celebrity-led agribusinesses in West Africa.

His story exposes a harsh truth: too many young people prefer “classy jobs” that look good on social media but pay very little. Many chase prestige, likes, followers, and attention while ignoring opportunities that offer real financial growth. Dumelo’s life proves that wealth is not always attached to glamour—sometimes it is hidden behind soil, sweat, boots, and hard labour.

Industry experts say his consistent success should be a lesson for Ghana’s youth. Agriculture is not dirty work—it is a trillion-dollar sector that feeds nations and builds generational wealth. His journey also debunks the myth that success must be glamorous or that fame equals financial stability.

Today, Dumelo stands as an example that being “classy” is overrated when the pockets are empty. Real security comes from building something sustainable—whether or not it looks attractive to the public.

His message is simple:

Don’t chase fame. Chase income.

Don’t chase attention. Chase productivity.

Don’t chase what looks good. Chase what pays well.

Dumelo’s transformation from actor to millionaire farmer is a blueprint for anyone willing to do the work. It is proof that greatness sometimes requires stepping away from the crowd, ignoring societal pressure, and choosing the path that guarantees results—not applause.

“Delete Everything About Me in 15 Days” — Shatta Wale Issues Strong Warning to Kwadwo Sheldon

Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has issued a stern warning to popular YouTuber and content creator Kwadwo Sheldon, demanding that he deletes all videos and commentary related to him within the next 15 days. According to Wale, any content on Sheldon’s channel that mentions him, analyzes him, or uses his brand must be taken down immediately—or Sheldon should prepare to face his lawyers.

The long-running tension between the two public figures has resurfaced once again, and this time Shatta Wale appears ready to escalate the matter legally. In his latest outburst, he insisted that Sheldon has no right to speak about him or profit from videos that involve his name, image, or music. Wale claims that because he is a brand, Sheldon must seek his permission before producing content about him.

Their feud, which has been ongoing for several years, has seen multiple online exchanges, reactions, and counter-attacks. But this latest warning appears to be Wale’s most decisive and aggressive yet, leaving many Ghanaians wondering whether the issue is finally headed to court.

Industry observers, however, point to a major twist: Shatta Wale is a public figure, and Ghana’s laws generally allow the media and commentators to discuss public personalities — especially when the content falls under entertainment reporting, critique, or public-interest analysis. This means the outcome would be unpredictable should Sheldon refuse to comply, leading to a possible legal showdown.

Some fans believe Wale’s threat is an attempt to control his public narrative, while others feel Sheldon’s style of commentary may sometimes cross lines. Regardless, the next few days will determine whether the matter fades out or escalates into one of Ghana’s most-watched entertainment legal battles.

For now, all eyes are on both camps to see who takes the next step.

Should John Dumelo or Sammy Gyamfi Run for President? Social Media Erupts as Ghanaians Pick Their Future Leader

A massive online debate has erupted across Ghana as citizens compare two of the country’s most dynamic young political figures — John Dumelo and Sammy Gyamfi — and whether either of them should run for president in the future.

The conversation began after a simple social poll asked: “If any of these two great men should run for president one day, who would you choose?” Within hours, it had spread across Facebook, X, TikTok, and WhatsApp, triggering tens of thousands of reactions and comments.

On one side of the debate stands John Dumelo, the celebrated actor-turned-politician, who has built an impressive reputation for grassroots work, humanitarian support, youth engagement, and active involvement in agriculture and food security. His supporters argue that he carries the rare combination of relatability, national popularity, and real political experience — making him a natural future presidential figure.

On the other side is Sammy Gyamfi, the outspoken lawyer and one of the country’s sharpest political communicators. Ghana’s young voters see him as bold, articulate, fearless, and policy-driven. With his expanding governance role and strong national visibility, many believe he represents the next generation of leadership that could handle Ghana’s complex economic systems.

Interestingly, both men have something Ghana’s younger voters crave: fresh leadership, strong intellect, and the courage to challenge the old political order.

Political analysts say the viral debate signals a powerful shift in Ghana’s political climate — a population increasingly ready for younger leaders, new ideas, and more relatable presidential candidates. Though neither Dumelo nor Gyamfi has declared any intention to run for the highest office, the public conversation shows that Ghanaians are already imagining what a future led by either of them could look like.

For now, the debate continues — and Ghanaians are watching both men closely. Whether one of them will rise to the presidency someday remains unknown, but one thing is clear: the youth are ready for a new era, and these two names are firmly at the center of it.
