Dadease police violence victim: I was hung and flogged with a machete

Following his detention, the young guy who was subjected to police abuse at Dadease in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti region told Citi News about his traumatic ordeal.
In a viral video shot on Wednesday, July 26th, 2023, the suspect (now turned victim) apparently resisted arrest, and the police officer then placed a belt around his neck, pulled him onto the floor, and used a tricycle to carry him to the police station.
This has sparked significant outrage, as the police administration has arrested the officer in question and told the victim’s family that a full investigation will be conducted.
In an exclusive interview with Citi News, the victim, who had noticeable wounds on his body, said that policemen hung him and then beat him up with a machete after he arrived at the police station.
“When the police officer tried to arrest me, I told him to leave me alone because I had done nothing wrong.” He pulled me on the floor while tying a belt around my neck. When I arrived at the police station, they handcuffed me and repeatedly assaulted me with a machete. They strung me up at the police station. They transported me to Kumawu police station, then to Mampong police command yesterday, where the officer who hit me was also jailed. I was given bail after being taken to the hospital.”
“I took iron rods from my master but when he asked me about a month ago, he cautioned me not to do that again and that was the end of the matter,” he explained, “so I don’t know why I was arrested again this time around.”
Following the involvement of the Inspector General of Police, the victim was taken to the hospital and given bail on Friday afternoon.
The victim, who is also a suspect, has so far been accused of stealing iron rods and a car battery.
According to the police, the cop who pulled the guy on the floor in that manner has been arrested.
The police have also informed the victim’s relatives that the event would be thoroughly investigated.

Menzgold: NAM1 enters a not guilty plea to allegations of money laundering, fraud, and other offences

Nana Appiah Mensah, the former CEO of Menzgold, also known as NAM 1, has pleaded not guilty to all 39 charges of wrongdoing.
Nana Appiah Mensah, widely known as NAM 1, was charged with 39 counts of crimes, including money laundering abetment, deceiving by false pretences, carrying out deposit-taking without the required licence, unlawful deposit-taking, and money laundering.
This is a decrease from the 61 counts originally filed against him.
In 2019, the Attorney General launched an inquiry on NAM 1, accusing him of scamming hundreds of clients out of millions of Ghana cedis through his gold dealership enterprise.
The case was adjourned numerous times until new charges were brought on August 30, 2023.
Mr Appiah Mensah stated plans to unfreeze locked up cash of Menzgold clients in exchange for 650 for verification.
Following that, he altered his intention to force former clients to obtain a verification access card in order to authenticate transactions and confirm claims, despite substantial public and consumer outcry.

Limited Voter Registration: Two people detained for attempting to register twice

Two people were detained in Asokore Mampong Municipality for allegedly attempting to double register in the current Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise.
According to Municipal EC official Angela Afriyie Osei, the two suspects were apprehended after being validated as people existing in the Electoral Commission’s database.
As a challenge to the procedure, Madam Angela Afriyie mentions duplicate registration and efforts to register minors.
“The challenge we have been facing is about the double registration. At times when applicants come and we interrogate them, they insist he or she hasn’t registered before but when they go to the biometric column then it will come out that the person has registered.
“At the moment, we’ve handed two to the police. On male and a female. Another issue is also with the registration of minors,” she indicated.
Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.
“So far, we are satisfied with the entire process except some few challenges but that aside, we are very much comfortable with the process. All in all, everything is great,” an agent told JoyNews.

Black Sherif prophesy: Prophet Nigel Gaisie makes u-turn

Nigel Gaisie, the founder and head of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has stunned Ghanaians by backtracking on his prophecy regarding artist Black Sherif.
Prophet Gaisie had a vision in which he witnessed the mother of musical sensation Black Sherif sobbing excessively in a post on his official Facebook page.
As a result, he pushed the musician to seek safety before December, implying his impending death.
However, in a recent interview, Prophet Gaisie clarified that the prophecy is for a particular Sherif Black and not the Konongo-based performer.
“We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it.” If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it,” he said in parables.
Regardless, the man of God exhorted those who were convinced of the prophecy to fast and pray in order to avoid death.
Prophet Gaisie, who dismissed charges that his doom prophecies concerning celebrities are only for fame, stated that he will quit making them public in order to prevent insults and derision.
