Social media posts claiming that Bishop Daniel Obinim has been arrested over an alleged attempt to set gospel musician Florence Obinim ablaze have circulated online. However, Ghana Media could not independently verify the arrest claim or establish that the alleged attempted attack occurred.
The posts have emerged amid a widely reported marital dispute between the founder of the International God’s Way Church and Florence Obinim. Recent media reports have covered statements attributed to both sides concerning their relationship, but those reports do not independently substantiate the separate allegation of an attempted arson attack.

Ghana Media’s searches did not locate a credible police statement or reliable news report confirming that Obinim had been arrested in connection with an alleged attempt to burn Florence. The circulating posts should therefore not be treated as proof of an arrest or of criminal wrongdoing.
Obinim has been arrested in the past. In May 2020, he was arrested and charged in a case involving allegations of publishing false news and forgery. Police at the time also clarified that a video circulating on social media was unrelated to that arrest. That historical case does not verify the new claim circulating online.
For now, the claim about an alleged attempt to set Florence ablaze remains unverified. Any future report should be based on an official police statement, court records or independently corroborated reporting rather than social media captions alone.

Ghana Media will update this report if credible evidence or an official statement becomes available. Readers are encouraged to check claims carefully before sharing allegations that could seriously affect the reputations and safety of those involved.
A 37-year-old man, identified in contemporary media reports as Yaw Asare, allegedly shot and killed his 28-year-old ex-wife, Abena Agatha, before turning the gun on himself at Akyem Hweakwae in the Birim North District of Ghana’s Eastern Region. The incident occurred on Thursday, July 8, 2021, according to a report by Starr FM.

Reports indicated that Asare invited his former wife to his room at about 10:00 a.m. before allegedly shooting her in the chest with a single-barrel gun. Police were subsequently informed of the incident, prompting officers and detectives to visit the scene.

The Eastern Regional Police Command’s public relations officer at the time, DSP Ebenezer Tetteh, told Starr FM that police received information about the incident at approximately 11:20 a.m. Detectives who visited the scene reportedly found both individuals dead in the room.
Police reportedly found a single-barrel gun and a spent shell near the bodies. The weapon was expected to undergo ballistic examination as part of the investigation, while the bodies were conveyed to hospital and later transferred to a mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
Authorities had not established the exact circumstances behind the shooting in the initial reports. The case was reported in July 2021 and should not be mistaken for a newly occurring incident merely because footage or screenshots are circulating again online.

The incident also underscores the importance of taking threats and domestic abuse seriously. Anyone facing violence or credible threats should seek help from the police or the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU).

A woman in Brazil was arrested after investigators reportedly uncovered security-camera footage linking her to the fatal shooting of her husband at their home in Luís Eduardo Magalhães, a municipality in the state of Bahia. The case drew attention after the woman allegedly cut the cables connected to the home’s CCTV system, apparently believing the move would prevent investigators from recovering evidence.
Wife Cut CCTV Cables, but Footage Exposed Brazil Killing Plot 20
The victim, 40-year-old José Vicente de Cerqueira Sena, was taking a shower when an armed man allegedly entered the house and opened fire. Reports say some shots initially missed him, allowing him to flee outside and attempt to escape. He was pursued and later struck by gunfire. He was taken for medical treatment but died from his injuries.

According to Brazilian media reports, investigators reviewed footage recovered from the home’s recording equipment after the woman handed it over. The recordings reportedly showed her opening the gate for the gunman and indicating where her husband was inside the property. Although the camera cables had been cut, the recordings remained available on the system.
Investigators reportedly suspected the woman’s account of events and later arrested her on suspicion of involvement in the killing. Reports cited financial disagreements between the couple as a possible motive. The woman was also reported to have claimed that her husband had threatened her. Those claims and the alleged motive should be understood as reported details of the investigation, not independent proof of what happened between the couple.
The case highlights how cutting power or camera cables does not necessarily erase surveillance recordings. Depending on the system, footage may remain stored on a recording device or other storage medium. In this case, Brazilian reports said the recordings helped investigators reconstruct the events and challenge the initial account given to police.

The investigation was reported in September 2023 in Luís Eduardo Magalhães, western Bahia. The case remains a reminder that digital evidence can be crucial in serious criminal investigations, even when someone attempts to disable a security system.
A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following his return to the United Kingdom from Turkey in connection with the 2020 double shooting that claimed the lives of Junior Ajose and Cheriff Tall in Manchester.
Man Arrested After Turkey Detention Over 2020 Manchester Double Shooting 22
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the suspect was detained in Turkey and transported back to England on Saturday, October 10, 2026. He was met by police officers at Stansted Airport and arrested as detectives continued their investigation into the killings, which occurred more than six years ago.

The case concerns the fatal shootings of 36-year-old Abayomi “Junior” Ajose and 21-year-old Cheriff Tall in the early hours of June 21, 2020, in a car park off Caythorpe Street in Moss Side, Manchester.
Police said the two men were shot during the incident and later died. The killings triggered a major investigation, with detectives carrying out enquiries, reviewing evidence and appealing for information from people who may have witnessed the events.
The latest arrest marks a significant development in the long-running investigation. However, the suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and the arrest itself does not establish guilt. Any criminal responsibility must be determined through the legal process.
Detectives continue to believe that members of the public may hold information that could help establish what happened and identify those responsible. Police have renewed their appeal for anyone with relevant information, photographs or video footage from the night to come forward.
The deaths of Ajose and Tall left their families seeking answers, while the case remained under investigation for more than six years. The latest development brings renewed attention to the work of investigators and the continuing effort to secure justice for the victims.
GMP has urged anyone with information to contact the force or provide information anonymously through Crimestoppers. People who attended the gathering or may have recorded footage are encouraged to share relevant material with investigators.
Cocoa farmers and traditional leaders in Ghana’s Ashanti Region have welcomed the Ghana Cocoa Board Act, 2026 (Act 1182), while calling for improved agricultural support, greater transparency and faster implementation of welfare initiatives.
Ashanti cocoa farmers welcome the new COCOBOD Act and call for better support and transparency.
Their views emerged during the first phase of stakeholder engagements organised by the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), in collaboration with the Cocoa Health and Extension Division (CHED), across seven cocoa-growing districts in the region.
The engagements covered Offinso, Kyerayaso, Toase, New Edubiase, Kuntenase, Kona and Juansa. They provided a platform for farmers and traditional leaders to discuss the new legislation, the producer price determination process and interventions aimed at improving productivity and strengthening farmers’ livelihoods.
Although some participants had initially expected a higher producer price for the new cocoa season, they said explanations of the factors underpinning the announced price had helped them better understand the decision and the economic considerations facing the cocoa sector.
Ashanti Cocoa Farmers Back New COCOBOD Act, Demand Support 25
The discussions highlighted the importance of sustained dialogue between COCOBOD and farmers in building trust and improving understanding of policies affecting Ghana’s cocoa industry.
Farmers Welcome Reforms Under New Cocoa Board Act
Participants welcomed reforms introduced under the new Cocoa Board Act and called for sustained public education to deepen farmers’ understanding of the legislation, particularly provisions aimed at protecting cocoa-growing communities and farmlands from destructive activities, including illegal mining and unauthorised sand winning.
They also urged stakeholders to support the depoliticisation of cocoa-related issues, stressing the need for a unified, long-term approach to managing the sector in the national interest.
COCOBOD Urged to Improve Distribution of Farm Inputs
Farmers called for improvements in the distribution of free agricultural inputs, particularly fertilisers and other essential supplies, to ensure that beneficiaries receive them in adequate quantities and at the appropriate time.
They further appealed for the speedy implementation of the proposed Farmer Pension Scheme, describing it as an important step towards improving the long-term welfare and financial security of cocoa farmers.
Participants also emphasised the need for transparency in administering the cocoa tertiary education scholarship scheme to promote fairness, accountability and equitable access for eligible beneficiaries.
COCOBOD to Submit Farmers’ Concerns to Management
Leading the COCOBOD delegation, Deputy Head of Public Affairs Benjamin Larweh underscored the importance of keeping farmers informed and actively involved in discussions on policies and decisions that directly affect their livelihoods.
He said the engagements reflected COCOBOD’s commitment to open communication, stakeholder participation and a shared understanding of the reforms and interventions required to sustain Ghana’s cocoa industry.
Mr Larweh noted that constructive engagement was essential to strengthening trust between the Board and farmers. He added that the concerns and recommendations raised during the sessions would be submitted to Management for consideration.
Ashanti Regional Manager of CHED Isaac Adu also announced plans for further engagements with farmers on the distribution of fertilisers and other agricultural inputs, as well as the mass spraying exercise under the Cocoa Diseases and Pests Control Programme (CODAPEC).
National Engagement Programme to Continue
The completion of the Ashanti phase marks the first stage of a wider national engagement programme designed to bring COCOBOD’s policies and interventions closer to cocoa farmers and other industry stakeholders.
The issues raised during the engagements underline farmers’ expectations for timely agricultural inputs, improved welfare protections, transparent scholarship administration and continued public education on the new legislation.
A video showing Dutch police officers interrupting a Nigerian wedding celebration in the Netherlands has sparked debate online about noise regulations, cultural celebrations and the treatment of African communities abroad.
Video of a Nigerian wedding interrupted by Dutch police sparks debate over noise complaints and fairness.
Footage circulating on social media shows officers in high-visibility uniforms inside a decorated wedding venue as guests dressed in traditional Nigerian outfits gather nearby. Reports published on October 11 and 12, 2026, say the music was stopped and guests were instructed to leave the hall following complaints about excessive noise. The precise location and full circumstances of the incident remain unclear.

The intervention has drawn mixed reactions, with some social media users arguing that event organisers must comply with local noise rules, while others have questioned whether the response was proportionate and whether all groups are treated equally.
The circulating footage captures police officers in high-visibility jackets speaking with people inside the venue as guests in colourful traditional clothing stand nearby. The images appear to show the celebration being interrupted, although the video alone does not establish what happened before officers arrived or what instructions organisers may have received.
A report by Peoples Gazette said a voice heard in the footage alleged that the guests were being treated unfairly because they were Black. The statement reflects a claim made in the recording and does not, by itself, establish that the police action was racially motivated.
Another report published after the video began circulating said a wedding attendee had raised concerns about possible unequal treatment in the building. That allegation has not been independently verified, and the available reporting does not establish whether another event was permitted to continue under comparable circumstances.
Noise rules and event responsibilities
Noise complaints can be handled by Dutch police and local authorities, including in relation to businesses, hospitality venues and events. Official Dutch police guidance recognises noise nuisance as an issue that can be reported, while event organisers may need to comply with local requirements and the conditions attached to a venue or event permit.
However, the exact rules applicable to this particular wedding, including any permitted finishing time, sound restrictions or prior warnings, have not been established in the available reports. It is therefore not possible to determine from the video alone whether the organisers breached a specific condition or whether the police response followed an earlier enforcement process.
Online debate over fairness and cultural expression
The incident has prompted discussion among Nigerians and other social media users about the balance between celebrating important cultural occasions and respecting the rules governing shared spaces. Some commenters have emphasised the need for event organisers to understand local requirements, while others have questioned whether the intervention was handled fairly.
Wedding celebrations can be important family and community gatherings, particularly for diaspora communities whose relatives may travel across countries to attend. At the same time, venues and organisers are expected to consider neighbours, sound limits and any applicable event conditions.
As of publication, the reports reviewed by Ghana Media do not establish a complete official account of the incident or provide verified details about the venue, any formal sanctions or the organisers’ response. The allegation of discriminatory treatment also remains unverified.
The incident has renewed questions about how authorities communicate and enforce event rules, and why clear information about the circumstances surrounding such interventions matters before conclusions are drawn.
Ntiamoah Foundation has launched BEYOND 20: From Impact to Legacy, a year-long anniversary campaign celebrating two decades of work in education, healthcare and community development while outlining new initiatives designed to support future generations.

Launching the campaign, Executive Director Mercy Quansah-Ansah said the anniversary was an opportunity to reflect on the organisation’s achievements while building systems that could continue improving lives well into the future.
“Twenty years gives us much to celebrate, but BEYOND 20 is also about asking what we can put in place today that will still be changing lives twenty years from now. For us, that is the shift from impact to legacy: creating opportunities today that can continue to transform lives for generations to come.”
The Foundation has also unveiled a 20th-anniversary identity and redesigned website intended to share impact stories, programme updates, anniversary activities and opportunities for individuals and organisations to support its work.
Ntiamoah Foundation Launches BEYOND 20 Anniversary Campaign 32
Three flagship initiatives to shape the next chapter
As part of BEYOND 20, the Foundation plans to continue its existing education and health programmes while introducing three flagship initiatives aimed at making its work more sustainable over the long term.
Program B.E.A.M. is set to become its flagship education model. It will bring together literacy, life skills, creativity, digital learning, leadership and community support to help develop confident, ethical and future-ready young people. The programme builds on the organisation’s existing work with reading clubs, libraries, ICT and other educational interventions.
The second initiative is the R.K.A. Asante Scholarship Scheme, a permanent programme established in honour of the Foundation’s founder. In addition to financial assistance, the scheme is expected to provide mentorship, leadership and professional development opportunities, alongside community service.

The third initiative, the Legacy Project, will focus on long-term investment in community spaces and infrastructure. The proposed project will support the preservation of local history and heritage, promote learning and leadership, and create skills-development opportunities for young people. Its initial plans include three multipurpose community centres intended to encourage youth development, healthy lifestyles and stronger community connections.
Foundation calls for broader partnerships
Board Chair Dr. Kojo Pumpuni Asante said partnerships had been central to the Foundation’s work and would remain important as it pursued its next phase of development.
“Ntiamoah’s journey has always been built on partnership. As we look beyond twenty, we invite individuals, institutions and organisations who share our belief in the power of education and health to join us. The next chapter is about multiplying opportunity and building something that future generations can inherit and build upon.”
Derek Boateng, Senior Manager for Sustainability and External Relations at Zijin Golden Ridge Limited, one of the Foundation’s longstanding partners, congratulated the organisation on its 20-year milestone.
“Over the years, we have witnessed Ntiamoah Foundation’s commitment to improving educational outcomes, strengthening healthcare delivery and creating opportunities for vulnerable communities. Its impact can be seen not only in the projects delivered, but in the lives transformed. We congratulate the Foundation on twenty years of service and look forward to continuing our partnership.”
Anniversary year to culminate in fundraising gala
The BEYOND 20 campaign will highlight the people, partnerships and communities that have shaped the Foundation’s journey while mobilising support for its future programmes.
The anniversary year is scheduled to conclude with a Fundraising Gala Dinner and Thanksgiving Service in December. The event is expected to bring together partners, donors, community leaders, beneficiaries and other stakeholders to celebrate the organisation’s work and support its next phase.
Established in 2006, Ntiamoah Foundation is a Ghanaian non-profit organisation focused on improving lives through education and health. It works with communities, schools, health institutions and development partners to expand opportunities, strengthen local systems and improve outcomes for underserved communities.
For media enquiries, the Foundation lists Williams Badu Sarpong, Programmes Manager, as the contact person. He can be reached at [email protected].

The virtual forum, scheduled for 7:00 p.m. GMT via Microsoft Teams, will be held under the theme “From Visibility to Sales – The Legal Way: Compliant Digital Positioning Strategies for SMEs in 2026.” Participation is advertised as free for SMEs, students and other interested participants, with limited seats available.

The programme is designed to address legal and commercial risks that can arise when businesses market their products and services online. These include misleading advertising, false representation, non-compliant online contracts, data protection obligations, tax disclosure for online businesses, and the use of trademarks or content without appropriate protection or authorisation.
Organisers say the forum will provide practical guidance for entrepreneurs, startups, SME owners and digital marketers seeking to build credible online brands, improve customer trust and grow revenue while complying with applicable laws.
Legal and business experts to lead discussions
The forum will be hosted by Dr. Doris Aryee, Founder and Lead Consultant of DORiSA Consult, who works in business advocacy, counselling and SME growth strategy.
Guest speaker Mr. Eric Acheampong Esq., a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Courts of Ghana and The Gambia, will discuss the foundations of SME operations in Ghana. His session is expected to cover company types, registration formalities, compliance, commercial contracts, customer protection and dispute prevention for online businesses. He is also identified by the organisers as an alternative dispute resolution practitioner and a full-time lecturer at KAAF University’s Faculty of Law.
Keynote speaker Mrs. Adisa Walamani Acheampong Esq., a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Courts of Ghana and The Gambia, will address the relationship between SMEs, digitalisation, sales and the law. Her session is expected to examine regulatory compliance, legal risks in digital marketing and how businesses can position themselves credibly in the digital marketplace. The organisers identify her as a policy and legal adviser and a state attorney attached to the Ghana Police Service headquarters.
Main speaker Aps. Dr. Dello-Ziem Kaaka Esq., a lawyer, corporate governance practitioner and land and property consultant, will share insights into corporate governance practices for small and medium-sized enterprises in Ghana.
Moving from online attention to trusted sales
In a statement ahead of the event, Dr. Aryee said online visibility alone was not enough to build a sustainable business if customers lacked confidence in a company’s legal and commercial foundations.
“In 2026, being seen online is no longer enough. Many businesses are visible but not bankable because they lack the legal foundations that make customers trust them enough to pay. This forum is designed to show SMEs how to move from likes and views to legally-secured sales.”
According to the organisers, participants will learn how to market online while respecting advertising and consumer protection requirements, prepare appropriate terms and disclaimers for online transactions, protect brands and content, manage customer data lawfully, and strengthen their positioning for funding and business partnerships.
Event details and registration
