Bono Regional NPP Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye DC, has been granted bail in the sum of GH¢50,000 with one surety. His lead counsel, Daniel Mantey Addo, said the news came as relief, especially as Abronye’s health condition has deteriorated. Abronye was arrested on September 8, 2025, for “offensive conduct conducive to a breach of public peace” after making comments deemed inflammatory by the police, including allegations against the Inspector General of Police and the ruling party. The arrest followed an earlier court decision that denied him bail, with Presiding Judge Samuel Bright Acquah stressing that the matter…
Former Attorney-General and Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has launched a blistering attack on Circuit Court Judge Samuel Bright Acquah, describing him as a disgrace to both the legal profession and the Judicial Service of Ghana. In an open letter sighted by Lovinghananews.com, Amidu questioned the judge’s fitness to have ever been called to the Bar. “The question that immediately came to my mind was whether Judge Samuel Bright Acquah was a fit and proper person to have been enrolled on the Roll of Lawyers in Ghana in the first place. “How could such a person have passed through the legal…
Martin Amidu accused Judge Samuel Bright Acquah of using bail applications to punish suspects and curry favour with political leaders. In the case of Abronye DC, Amidu said the judge acted as though the accused was already guilty. “The presumption of innocence was asserted by the suspect by his plea of not guilty… Judge ‘Napoleon’ Samuel Bright Acquah had no business as a professional judge to lecture the suspect or Ghanaian citizens on their fundamental rights and their noses,” he noted. He cited examples from the judge’s own rulings: “Just about 2 or 3 weeks ago another matter… Rep v…
Martin Amidu accused Judge Samuel Bright Acquah of turning Ghana’s Constitution into George Orwell’s Animal Farm, where some citizens are treated as “more equal than others.” Citing sections of the judge’s ruling, Amidu argued that Judge Acquah assumed authoritarian powers by using bail as punishment. “Samuel Bright Acquah sought by his ruling to reduce the 1992 Constitution to the level of a dictatorship and authoritarian judicial autocracy in which a circuit court judge assumes the power to control the liberties of the citizen in a manner inconsistent with the Constitution and the due process of law,” Amidu wrote. He further…

An old video featuring Bishop Kwabena Asiamah, leader of the Ajagurajah Movement, has resurfaced following the death of Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, showing the spiritual leader predicting extraordinary events that would accompany the automaker’s passing. In the previously recorded interview discussing Kantanka’s legacy, Ajagurajah made specific prophecies about what would occur upon the industrialist’s death: “Write this somewhere; it will rain for 3 days from the moment the man dies. Jot this somewhere, it will rain for 3 days. The earth will open at the place his remains would be kept.” When questioned about why these events would transpire,…
Fluent speakers have been urged by the President of the Ghana Stammering Association, Emmanuel Addo, to refrain from finishing People Who Stammer (PWS) sentences during conversations. According to him, those who stammer are unable to fully express themselves and be heard when fluent communicators finish their words, even if they may believe they are being helpful. He clarified last weekend in an interview with The Mirror in Accra that stammering is not caused by forgetfulness or a lack of confidence in one’s ability to speak, and that finishing the phrases made them unheard “From experience, those who do this will…

The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has cautioned the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) against inviting foreign interference in the country’s constitutional and democratic processes. Speaking at the opening of the GBA’s Annual General Conference on Monday, September 15, 2025, Dr. Ayine stressed that while professional collaborations with foreign associations were useful, they should not cross into political interference. “We should desist from the temptation of inviting foreign interference in our internal constitutional processes. As a professional body, there is nothing wrong with forming relationships with like-minded foreign associations. Such is necessary for a cross-section of ideas…
