In a fiery challenge that has sent shockwaves through the mining sector, Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has publicly questioned the government’s role in the galamsey gold trade, raising eyebrows over accountability and transparency.

Speaking in a bold statement, Oppong Nkrumah asked, “If the Ghana Bullion Depository (GoldBod) is not purchasing illegally mined gold, then who exactly is benefiting from this illicit trade?” His pointed remarks are fueling speculation that government loopholes may be enabling the very illegal mining the authorities claim to fight.

The minister’s interrogation comes amid mounting concerns about environmental destruction, revenue loss, and law enforcement gaps linked to the country’s illegal mining industry. Analysts say his comments could ignite a political and regulatory storm, forcing officials to explain where millions of dollars of galamsey gold are actually ending up.

With public frustration over illegal mining reaching a boiling point, Nkrumah’s question is striking a nerve: Who is profiting from galamsey gold—and why is the government seemingly powerless to stop it?

Shock and outrage erupted at the 2026 Super Zonal Sports Competition as reports emerged of a stabbing and alleged sexual assault that have left the nation reeling. The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially condemned the incidents, calling them “abhorrent, unacceptable, and a complete betrayal of the spirit of sportsmanship.”

Eyewitnesses describe chaos and panic as the violence unfolded, marring what was meant to be a celebration of athletic talent and youth achievement. Authorities say an immediate investigation is underway, with security tightened and participants placed under protective watch.

GES spokesperson warned, “Such acts have no place in our schools, our competitions, or our communities. We will ensure that justice is served and that the safety of all students is prioritized.”

The shocking incidents have sparked a nationwide debate about security at school sporting events, the mental well-being of student-athletes, and measures to prevent such horrors in future competitions.

As Ghana mourns the tarnishing of this high-profile event, questions mount: Who is responsible for the violence? Were warning signs ignored? And how will schools rebuild trust in what was supposed to be a safe stage for young talent?

In a chilling confession that has sent shockwaves across the nation, a former Chief of Defence Staff has revealed the horrifying conditions he endured during his detention following the infamous June 4th Uprising. The ex-CDS detailed a nightmare world marked by physical brutality, psychological torment, and inhumane treatment that insiders are now calling “beyond imagination.”

Dubbed the “Gari and Kako” ordeal, the detention period saw detainees subjected to relentless abuse, confinement in unbearable conditions, and methods that many human rights observers are calling torture. The former top military official recounted harrowing accounts of beatings, deprivation, and systematic humiliation, exposing a dark chapter that many had feared but few knew in detail.

“This was not just detention,” he said. “It was a calculated campaign to break spirits, erase identities, and instill fear. The horror of Gari and Kako is something that will haunt me forever.”

The revelations have reignited debates about accountability, military overreach, and the legacy of the June 4th Uprising, as citizens demand answers about the shadowy operations that unfolded behind closed doors.

Human rights organizations are now calling for an independent investigation, citing the ex-CDS’s testimony as “powerful evidence of gross human rights violations.”

With the nation on edge, questions linger: Who orchestrated this brutality? How many suffered in silence? And will justice ever truly be served for the horrors of Gari and Kako?

Ghana’s leading Cocoa Processing Company has announced bold plans to leverage the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to expand across Africa, aiming to take Ghanaian cocoa products to new markets and boost trade across the continent.

Executives revealed that the move will focus on scaling production, increasing exports, and creating jobs, while strategically positioning the company to benefit from the tariff-free trade and reduced barriers under AfCFTA. This could mark a major milestone in Ghana’s cocoa industry, further cementing its role as a global cocoa powerhouse.

Industry analysts say this initiative could transform local cocoa processing into a continental powerhouse, driving economic growth, innovation, and regional trade partnerships. Social media is abuzz with excitement, with many praising the company for seizing Africa’s economic integration opportunities.

As the AfCFTA framework opens doors, Ghanaian cocoa may soon be a household name across Africa, fueling both national pride and commercial success.
