Tarkwa: Gyaasehene of Apinto Divisional Council ‘missing’; residents suspect kidnapping

 We understands that the Gyaasehene of the Apinto Divisional Council in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality of the Western Region, Dr. Nana Adarkwa Bediako III, has gone missing.

The townsfolk believe their Gyaasehene has been kidnapped.

When they  reached out to the Public Relations Officer of the Western Regional Police Command, DSP Olivia Adiku, she said the Command has picked up unofficial information concerning the disappearance of the chief but was yet to receive official confirmation from the Tarkwa Divisional Police Command.

The chief is said to have gone missing on Wednesday, 14th July, 2021.

The Akyeamehene of Apinto, Nana Kwabena Obo II, said the Chief’s vehicle was found without him in the community, but with his car keys and phones still in the vehicle.

“Last Sunday, a relative of the missing Chief, called me and complained that the Gyaasehene is frustrating him in his work. He then threatened that if I hear that the Gyaasehene is dead, then he Kakra was the one behind it. I became a bit concerned and went to the Palace of the overlord with another Chief. We called Kakra in the presence of the overlord, Nana Angu II, but unfortunately, Kakra repeated the threat and hanged up the phone,” he said.

He further explained that the Chief had been threatened with death by the said Kakra days before his disappearance.

“Yesterday [Wednesday] evening, the driver of Gyaasehene, Paa Kwesi, called me that he had gone to meet the car of the Gyaasehene in front of a financial institution in the area. When he drew closer, he saw the two phones of the Gyaasehene in the car with the car keys in the ignition, but the Gyaasehene was nowhere close to the car. So, he was calling me to find out if the Gyaasehene was with me. This was after he had sent the car of the Gyaasehene to his house and had met his absence there too. So I went to the house of the Gyaasehene and picked the driver. We drove straight to the police station and lodged a complaint”, he said.

Ghanaian Men Are Short – Stephanie Benson Explains As She Shows Off Beautiful Daughters' Boyfriends

  Ghanaian men seem to be just okay when it comes to their height, but they woefully fall short when it comes to pairing up with Stephanie Benson’s daughters. The never-aging Ghanaian Queen of Jazz has been blessed with five children, three of whom are female. Unfortunately for anyone who banked their hopes on snatching their hearts, all three have grabbed them some suitors. The proud mama posted pictures of her dashing daughters all coupled up with their partners on her Twitter page. A commenter observed that none of the partners were Ghanaian, obviously unhappy about the fact. Stephanie took her time to explain how come no Ghanaian man was good enough for any of her daughters. According to her, all the nice guys the girls met when they were in Ghana were deficient in height. Apparently, her daughters are all over 5ft 8in, otherwise, she would have been pleased to have a Ghanaian son-in-law. A quick Google search shows that the average Ghanaian man is 5ft 7in tall while...

  A former Minister of Power, Dr Kwabena Donkor, has maintained that the emergency power agreement signed with Ghana Power Generation Company (GPGC) went to Cabinet and Parliament for approval. “The agreement met all the constitutional and legal requirements hence the $170million judgment awarded against the government for the termination,” he stressed. Dr Donkor, who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Pru East in the Bono East Region, pointed out that the award was given for wrongful termination and not for wrongful signing  Reacting to his comments by Godfred Dame, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, that the decision by the signatories to sign such an agreement was uninformed, he expressed surprise and raised concerns Mr Dame did not deem it fit to confirm whoever terminated the agreement would also be referred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service. However, Dr Donkor stressed that “the Agreement was sent to cabinet, it had cabin...
