Court remands forex trader over alleged fraud, theft

The Accra Circuit Court 9 has remanded 35-year-old trader Benjamin Appiah Boateng into police custody for allegedly defrauding two individuals of USD300,000 and GHC10,445,000 through fraudulent online investments.

Boateng reportedly took the funds from Mr Berry Kwadwo Agyapong and Mr David Burke by promising to invest them in UDST and Binance cryptocurrency platforms.

His plea was not taken, as he is under investigation for stealing and fraud.

Mr. Samuel Bright Acquah, who presided over the case, ordered Boateng to appear in court again on January 13, 2025.

Police Chief Inspector Jonas Lawer informed the court that both complainants, Mr Burke, a businessman, and Mr Agyapong, a business consultant, reside in Accra.

Boateng, a trader from Oyibi, was introduced to Mr Burke by Mr Agyapong as a Forex trader specialising in online investments in UDST and cryptocurrency.

At the time of the introduction, Mr. Agyapong had already invested approximately USD300,000 in UDST and Binance.

Mr Agyapong convinced Mr Burke of the investment’s profitability and steady dividend returns, leading Mr Burke to invest an initial sum of GHC555,000.

Subsequently, Mr Burke gave Boateng an additional GHC9,890,000 to increase the investment further.

According to Chief Inspector Lawer, Boateng assured both complainants that the investments were progressing well and that dividends were being paid out as promised.

However, on December 14, 2024, Mr Burke requested to end the investment, asking for the return of his total capital and any available dividends.

The court heard that upon Mr Burke’s request to end the investments, Boateng stopped answering phone calls from both complainants.

This led Mr. Burke to contact Mr. Agyapong about the accused’s behaviour.

When Mr Agyapong called Boateng to inquire why he had been ignoring their calls, Boateng reportedly sent a WhatsApp voice note along with a purported suicide note.

In the note, Boateng claimed that he had gambled away their entire investments on an online gambling platform called “Stake.”

A report was made to the police, which led to Boateng’s arrest.

During questioning, he admitted to the offences.

Legon Cities officially appoints Yaw Acheampong as new head coach

By Simon Asare

Accra, Jan. 3, GNA – Legon Cities have officially announced the appointment of Yaw Acheampong as their new Head Coach. 
 
Acheampong takes over from Paa Kwesi Fabin, whose contract was terminated following a poor run of results. 
 
The experienced tactician would be hoping to guide the ‘Royals’ to safety as they are currently rock bottom of the league with 11 points. 
 
Acheampong would be yearning for a good start with the club when they play Accra Hearts of Oak later on Friday at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. 
 
Acheampong was recently dismissed as head coach of Aduana Stars after inconsistent results in the ongoing 2024-25 Ghana Premier League. 
 
It would certainly be a tough task for Acheampong as he seeks to rescue Legon Cities, who have some tough upcoming fixtures.

Akufo-Addo has no legacy, he only praises himself

Member of Parliament for Odododiodioo, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has criticised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, alleging that the outgoing president has no substantial legacy to his name as his tenure comes to an end.

Vanderpuye accused the president of relying on self-praise and exaggerated claims of achievements rather than delivering tangible results.

Speaking on Eyewitness News on Friday, January 3, 2025, the MP remarked, “The President was consistent in one thing: praising himself when he didn’t deserve praise and also presenting figures and scenarios that were not factual.”

Vanderpuye also took aim at the President’s track record in sports development, describing it as disappointing. He argued that the sector, under President Akufo-Addo’s leadership, suffered neglect and failed to meet the expectations of Ghanaians.

The MP’s remarks come as the President delivered his final State of the Nation Address, reflecting on his administration’s performance over the past eight years.

“On the issue of sports, for example, a president who always wants to be seen as a person who is perfect and has performed excellently. In the area of sports where he has performed so poorly, how would you want him to talk about it? This is because he accepts the fact that sports is one area where he has performed so poorly.

“Youth development is also one area the government has performed so poorly. This is because in spite of all the so-called interventions; NABCO, planting for food and jobs, all indicators show that the president failed in those areas.”

The president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, presented his final State of the Nations Address in Parliament on Friday, January 3.

In his presentation, Akufo-Addo stated that serving as the President of Ghana has been the greatest honour of his life, describing it as one marked by significant challenges and triumphs.

He acknowledged that his time in office had demanded his full energy, commitment, and love for the country.

Election 2024: Sovereignty at play

I sat at home, in my couch, sipping a cup of coffee, and wondering; 

On 19 Starfish Avenue, on that Election Day, December 7, and pondering;

Will the Supreme Court, again, declare a winner?

Or will the election be won at the polling station?

Will violence again characterize the election?

Has the electorate been enticed with bank notes?

Or will ballot snatching, ballot stuffing and ballot printing be strategies to uphold?

Hmm, I was uncertain and afraid on that December seven; 

On that cagy election day, full of tension

So much hope, I knew, for the incumbent government, there was;

So much promises, I knew, this government, made

But deep down l knew we are in sorrow;

 We need to vote for a better tomorrow.

To undo the seductive promise of one district one factory;

And to untie the decoy of one million dollar for each constituency;

And thank God our conscience guided our vote;

Ending our collective anger and democratic revolt.

The electorate overwhelmingly, and without mercy, kicked against the massive loot;

And overwhelmingly did so, and without pity, with the power of their thumb, in the voting booth.

And thank God for Dr Bawumia’s statesmanlike early concession speech too.

Oh! Thank the heavens, the surveillance of our men in uniform was second to none 

Preventing the Electoral Commission to outfox was meticulously done

But yes! Still, six died, in our young election democracy

Even when ballot stuffing and ballot snatching were cleverly and vigilantly aborted in our polity

But all in all the politics of impertinency and trickery has given way to the politics of civility and serenity

The electorate did not give the Supreme Court this time to declare the winner in our society

Above all, our people manifested that The Sovereignty of Ghana resides in the people of Ghana

And in the name of the people, the President elect and his NDC government shall exercise the powers of government 

Indeed, a sense of hope rebounds. 

A sense of patriotism makes a come back

As I sip my last coffee, I say May God bless our young polity and enhance its values of democracy.

Watch as First Lady confronts Deputy Minority Leader Armah-Kofi Buah over his criticism of Akufo-Addo

Deputy Minority Leader, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah [L] and First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo Deputy Minority Leader, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah [L] and First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo

First Lady H.E. Rebecca Akufo-Addo, wife of President Nana Akufo-Addo, clearly did not take kindly to the harsh words used by Deputy Minority Leader Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah in criticizing her husband’s performance over the last eight years.

The MP, in his remarks following the President’s delivery of the State of the Nation Address on Friday, January 2025 — the President’s last before exiting office on December 7 — stated that the outgoing leader had failed to deliver effectively. He described President Akufo-Addo’s eight years in office as clear evidence of his inability to govern the nation effectively.

“Let me remind His Excellency that his tenure in office will remain a timely reminder of how not to govern a country,” he stated.

Mr. Armah-Kofi Buah further claimed that the President’s poor performance was resoundingly reflected in the December elections.

“This abysmal record was confirmed on December 7th when the people of Ghana delivered the most overwhelming and emphatic vote of rejection any government has ever witnessed in the Fourth Republic,” he added.

The Deputy Minority Leader also criticized the President for reckless borrowing and mismanagement of state funds.

“Mr. President, you will be remembered as the first President who was cautioned by the IMF when you began, and you are still being cautioned at the end of your term. You left something very important out of your account — your promise to God to build a cathedral. But, Mr. President, I will leave that between you and your God,” he remarked.

In response, First Lady H.E. Rebecca Akufo-Addo confronted Mr. Armah-Kofi Buah about his remarks as she was leaving the chamber.

A video shared on the social media platform X shows the First Lady, visibly displeased, angrily addressing the MP for Ellembele while the President’s team was leaving Parliament after signing the chronicle.

In another video, Mrs. Akufo-Addo is seen briefly walking out on the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin. She is heard mumbling, “You sit there and allow people to speak anyhow.”

Shatta Wale and I share similar traits, suffered same fate because we are non-conformists – Asamoah

Shatta Wale and I share similar traits, suffered same fate because we are non-conformists – Asamoah

Shatta Wale and Asamoah Gyan were classmates at the Seven Great Princess Academy

In his recent rants online, former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan opened up on the challenges he has faced due to his ‘realness’ and non-conformity while drawing comparisons to Shatta Wale, whom he believes has experienced a similar fate. 

What began as a reaction to the Kantamanto fire incident took a personal turn when Asamoah Gyan began discussing how his genuine nature and refusal to conform have often made him a target of hatred and disrespect. 

This led to him referencing Shatta Wale, stating that both of them share certain traits when it comes to dealing with hatred and staying true to themselves.

Buttressing his points further, he also mentioned that people, including some legends whom he has achieved more than, often take his humility for granted. 

Asamoah Gyan said he usually keeps such people in check, even if it leads to being labeled disrespectful, a trait he believes Shatta Wale also possesses. 

“I’ve achieved more than some of my colleagues, but when I see them, I respect them. Because I respect them, they try to disrespect me and take me for granted. But when they do, I quickly let them know that they cannot try that with me. I make them aware that I have achieved more than them, and it’s out of respect that I obey them,” Gyan explained. 

He continued, “That is how Shatta Waleis. When Shatta Wale sees Reggie Rockstone and other legends, he will bow down. It doesn’t mean he is stupid. But when those legends step on his toes, he will insult them to remind them of their place. That guy, watch his life and watch mine. It’s a natural gift.” 

Asamoah Gyan further emphasised his belief that he has always been “the chosen one,” receiving opportunities amidst millions of others. 

“From my infancy, I’ve always been favoured and chosen for opportunities. You can ask around. It’s a gift that no one can take away from me. I always stand out. Out of thousands, and millions, I’m often the chosen one. That’s how Shatta Wale is. Sometimes, I get shocked by these personal traits,” he stated. 

The former Black Stars captain then recounted how years ago, after the success of Shatta Wale’s “Bandana” track, the artiste was blacklisted by the music industry because he refused to conform and remained true to himself. 

“When he released ‘Bandana,’ it blew up and he was happy. But fast forward a year or two, I saw Nii Armah (Shatta Wale) on the streets looking dirty and unkempt. According to the facts I gathered, at that time, Shatta Waledidn’t comply with the industry’s expectations. He is a real person. You can’t tell him what to do, so people in the industry wanted to control him. Because he didn’t allow that, they cut his music off from the mainstream media and sabotaged him to the point where he went broke,” Asamoah Gyan said. 

He added, “He was from a rich home but decided to go on the streets. I was coming back from training when I saw him, and I parked and cried. My classmate, who after the ‘Bandana’ hit was looking like that, I was hurt. So, I stopped in front of Blue Lagoon, where he stayed with his friends, and interacted with him. I asked what happened, and he said, ‘Life happened.’”
