A devastating military helicopter crash in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region on Wednesday, August 6, has claimed the lives of eight individuals, including two prominen t government ministers . Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Minister for Defence, and Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, have been confirmed dead following the tragic incident. Also among the deceased are Muniru Mohammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator; Samuel Aboagye, a former parliamentary candidate; and Samuel Sarpong, Vice Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Ghana’s Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has seized a high-end Lamborghini Urus from popular dancehall artist Charles Nii Armah Mensah, known in showbiz circles as Shatta Wale, following a joint operation linked to an ongoing international investigation into financial crimes. According to an official press release issued by EOCO on Tuesday evening, the operation was conducted in June at a residence in Trassaco Valley Phase 1, Accra. It stemmed from a 2023 request from the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the U.S. Department of Justice. The vehicle in question—a 2019 Lamborghini Urus—is suspected to have been purchased with proceeds from a fraudulent scheme run by convicted Ghanaian-American national, Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86-month sentence in the United States for multiple financial crimes. The operation was carried out by EOCO’s Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU), which lawfully searched the property and identified the luxury SUV. Though the vehicle was registered under Shatta Wale’s name, U.S. authorities believe it is connected to Amuah’s $4.7 million restitution case. Sources say Shatta Wale cooperated with authorities during the seizure and requested that the matter be kept away from the public eye to avoid damaging his brand. In response, EOCO allowed him to voluntarily surrender the vehicle, which is now in the agency's custody. As a precautionary measure, SARU officers were armed during the operation, in line with EOCO's standard security protocols. U.S. authorities are preparing to formally request the repatriation of the seized Lamborghini through a Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) agreement, as efforts to recover Amuah's criminal proceeds intensify. Shatta Wale and a former senior officer of the National Signal Bureau (NSB) have both been identified as persons of interest in the wider investigation. EOCO confirmed that both individuals will be invited to assist in ongoing inquiries. The final investigation report may be shared with the FBI and U.S. Justice Department, reaffirming the strong cooperation between the Ghanaian and U.S. law enforcement agencies. This development marks one of the most high-profile asset recovery cases involving a Ghanaian celebrity, and it could have significant implications for both local and international investigations into financial crime and money laundering.

Her Excellency Amma Adomaa Twum-Amoah, the African Union’s Commissioner for Health, Humanitarian Affairs and Social Development, has called for an end to fragmented health responses across the continent. Speaking at a high-level Africa Health Sovereignty Summit held in Accra on Tuesday, Commissioner Twum-Amoah declared emphatically: “Africa does not need more private regions.” Instead, she emphasized the continent's urgent need for predictable financing, mutual accountability, and respect for regional leadership in shaping a unified and resilient health ecosystem. “We are not building parallel networks. We are building a new recurring system where resilience, equity, and utilization are not afterthoughts, but are the founding principles of our continent,” she stated, drawing applause from leaders and policymakers gathered from across Africa and the global health community. Amb. Twum-Amoah’s remarks come at a pivotal moment as Africa continues to recalibrate its approach to health governance in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which exposed deep vulnerabilities in supply chains, vaccine access, and institutional preparedness The AU Commissioner outlined a strategic vision built on three major pillars: Transitioning national health priorities into continental platforms, Rebalancing global health governance, and Building an integrated ecosystem of resilient public services. “Africa’s voice must not merely react to global systems – it must shape them,” she stressed, underscoring that only through policy harmonization, procurement aggregation, and collective continental platforms can the continent build the leverage it needs on the world stage. Madam Twum-Amoah further pointed out that while donor-driven, private health projects have played roles in the past, the time has come to shift towards African-owned systems. She warned against “externally driven, reactive” models, advocating instead for African-led solutions with support — not substitution — from international partners. Referring to key instruments such as the Africa CDC, the African Medicines Agency, and the soon-to-be-professionalized African Humanitarian Agency, Ambassador Twum-Amoah reiterated the African Union’s commitment to creating “future-facing systems” rooted in continental accountability. “These are not just aspirations,” she affirmed. “They are integration programmes for investment, for development, and for delivery.” She also made a strong case for institutionalizing health targets, referencing the Abuja Declaration that called for 15% of national budgets to be allocated to health. “What the AU does is not to replace national ambition — it amplifies it,” she added. Addressing the failures exposed during the pandemic, she declared: “These were not market failures — they were governance failures.” She proposed a rebalanced global partnership that reflects Africa’s legitimate role as co-designer of global health systems. She called for an African Union seat in the global pandemic fund and stressed that financing mechanisms must be routed through African institutions like the Africa CDC and regional economic communities. Her remarks resonated with a central message of unity: Africa’s strength lies in collective action. She paid tribute to past and present African leaders, including President John Dramani Mahama, for their foresight in hosting the summit, and honored the legacy of the late Kofi Annan for advancing Africa’s global health agenda. Madam Twum-Amoah closed with a stirring reminder: “No country, no continent is an island. If we work together, we will all achieve what we want.” Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith

Ghana’s Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has made a passionate appeal to African governments to own their health futures by making bold, strategic investments in healthcare systems that reflect the continent's realities and priorities. Speaking at the Africa Health Sovereignty Summit held in Accra, the Minister challenged African leaders to match their rhetoric with action, stressing that while the continent has the tools to revolutionize its healthcare landscape, what remains lacking is the collective political courage to act decisively. "Our challenge is the courage to act together,” Mr. Akandoh declared, as he urged stakeholders to go beyond symbolic declarations and commit to real, measurable change. A Call for Data, Sovereignty, and Courage Minister Akandoh emphasized the need for robust data systems that capture the unique health realities of African nations and support evidence-based policymaking. He also stressed the importance of supply chain sovereignty, calling on African countries to reduce dependence on foreign aid and external donors when it comes to critical health commodities. “Leading and owning our health future means investing in strong data systems so our realities are truly reflected,” he said. “It means supply chain sovereignty. Above all, it means political courage to fund health, even when the budget is tight.” He argued that such investments are not merely expenditures but long-term assets, delivering returns in the form of improved productivity, social stability, and quality of life across the continent. Not Just a Summit, But a Movement Framing the Africa Health Sovereignty Summit as more than a routine conference, Akandoh described it as a “living initiative” — a space designed to foster shared learning, collective ambition, and open challenge among African nations and global health partners. “This summit is not a mere meeting. It is a living initiative. We have a space for shared learning, open challenge, and collective ambition. It’s a historical opportunity to co-create and shape the architecture of our health governance,” he said. Hon. Akandoh pointed out that Africa already possesses the knowledge, experience, and indigenous wisdom necessary to reform its health systems but has often lacked the unity and boldness to implement lasting change. He quoted an African proverb to drive home the point: “He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything.” From Declarations to Action The Minister urged African nations to back their words with action and build dignified, self-reliant health systems that no longer depend on the charity of others. “Let us close not with declarations, but with fierce, actionable commitments — commitments that ensure our dignity no longer depends on the generosity of others. Let us build a future,” Akandoh said. The Africa Health Sovereignty Summit brought together health ministers, policymakers, experts, civil society groups, and international partners to discuss pathways to achieving health independence and resilience across the continent.

President of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, has issued a powerful call for a complete reimagining of global health governance, urging African countries to seize control of their health destinies. He made the call during his keynote address at the Africa Health Sovereignty Summit in Accra on Tuesday. Delivering what many observers described as a bold and visionary speech, President Mahama lamented the outdated nature of the current global health architecture, which he said has consistently sidelined African voices, innovations, and priorities. “We are not gathered here today by chance. We are here by conviction—a collective refusal to accept the limits imposed upon us by an outdated global health order,” President Mahama declared. "Africa must no longer be the patient. It must be the author, the architect, and the advocate of its health destiny.” A Global System Under Siege Referencing a wave of ongoing global crises—including pandemics, climate change, conflict, and economic shocks—Mahama warned that the systems meant to protect global health are faltering, especially for the Global South. He cited the sharp decline in development assistance in 2023 as a turning point that exposed Africa’s overdependence on external health financing. “In Ghana, our community-based health delivery model, the CHPS programme, was brought to its knees by abrupt funding withdrawals,” he said. “This is not merely a funding gap—it is a crisis of imagination and a vacuum of solidarity.” Celebrating African Leadership and Innovation President Mahama acknowledged Africa’s rich legacy of health leadership, referencing figures such as the late Kofi Annan, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, Liberia’s Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa. He also praised the continent’s emerging health institutions such as the Africa CDC and the African Medicines Agency (AMA), describing them as critical to the continent’s future health sovereignty. “From Ebola to COVID-19, from malaria elimination to vaccine equity, Africa has shown it can lead,” Mahama stated. Ghana’s Example: A Shift Toward Sovereignty Highlighting Ghana’s strides toward health sovereignty, Mahama cited the uncapping of the National Health Insurance Scheme financing and the launch of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund as key steps in reducing reliance on foreign aid. He also referenced a soon-to-be-launched Primary Health Care Programme designed to promote wellness and prevent disease at the community level. Sharing the story of a young mother named Akosua, who survived childbirth complications due to Ghana’s digitised referral system, Mahama emphasised the impact of smart investments and digital health innovations. “This is not a vision of the future. It is the present reality of health sovereignty in Ghana,” he said. Health as an Economic Driver Reframing the conversation around health and economics, the former president urged African finance ministers to treat health not as a cost but as a capital investment. “Health is not a drain on our budgets—it is the engine of productivity and inclusive growth,” he asserted, adding that every $1 invested in health resilience yields up to $4 in economic returns. Concrete Commitments: Task Force and SUSTAIN Initiative In a significant announcement, President Mahama launched two major initiatives: 1. The Presidential High-Level Task Force on Global Health Governance, to engage partners in reshaping global health systems for the 21st century. 2. The SUSTAIN Initiative (Scaling Up Sovereign Transition and Institutional Networks), an African-led platform to align national budgets with health priorities and mobilise sovereign and diaspora capital. He invited all nations present to join Ghana in building an African health investment ecosystem “driven by purpose, powered by equity, and anchored in sovereignty.” The Accra Declaration for Health Sovereignty President Mahama positioned the summit as a defining moment for Africa’s health future, one that demands co-creation over charity and dignity over dependency. “Health is not a luxury. It is the foundation of freedom. It is the currency of our dignity,” he declared. “Let the world hear this from Accra: Africa’s pain is not a deficit. It is a depth of perspective. Africa’s healing is not a plea. It is a rallying cry.” The Africa Health Sovereignty Summit brought together leaders, health experts, development partners, and institutions committed to advancing a new era of African-led health solutions. The “Accra Declaration for Health Sovereignty,” expected to be adopted at the summit’s close, will serve as a roadmap for the continent’s push toward resilient, self-reliant, and dignified health systems.

Ghana’s Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has issued a strong public health advisory on the spread of Mpox, cautioning that the disease is not only transmitted through body contact but also through sexual activity. Speaking during a media engagement in Accra, the minister urged Ghanaians to stay loyal to their partners and use protection, especially condoms, to curb the spread of the virus. He emphasized the importance of knowing one’s partner and seeking medical attention if rashes or other symptoms associated with Mpox appear. “As for sex, everybody must be very careful,” Mr. Akandoh advised. “Use the necessary protective condoms. If you think your partner is developing some rash, you must advise yourself and go to the hospital.” He further encouraged the media to play a proactive role by sensitizing the public on the symptoms of Mpox and the importance of early medical intervention. The World Health Organization (WHO), on the other hand has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ghana in its efforts to combat the Mpox outbreak, noting the country's strong progress in containing the virus. WHO Regional Director for Africa, Professor Mohamed Yakub Janabi, commended Ghana for its proactive response to the outbreak and emphasized the organization’s role in complementing national efforts. “Ghana is already on the path of controlling this,” Prof. Janabi stated. “That’s why you see only one death reported despite the numbers. We are here to join hands with the Ministry of Health and strengthen the measures already in place.” Prof. Janabi noted that Mpox continues to pose a threat in many countries across the continent, with over 100 active outbreaks currently being monitored by the WHO in Africa. He encouraged continued vigilance, particularly regarding the sexually transmissible variant of the virus. “There is one variant which is transmitted sexually. So, like any other sexually transmitted disease, we urge the public to take all necessary precautions,” he said. The WHO official also stressed the importance of maintaining immunization efforts, noting that vaccines remain a critical tool in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Regarding the delivery of Mpox relief items, Prof. Janabi confirmed WHO’s continued support and hinted that further assistance could be expected depending on Ghana’s needs.

The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has made significant strides in four major criminal investigations, spanning murder, armed robbery, and transnational vehicle theft. These breakthroughs, revealed at a press briefing held at Cyber Security Authority Headquarters in Accra, underscored that CID's commitment to delivering justice and protecting public safety. Gruesome Murder of Immigration Officer Unraveled One of the key cases under active investigation is the brutal killing of 39-year-old Immigration Officer, Stephen King Amoah , affectionately known as Otumfuor Nana . Amoah was declared missing on July 4, 2025. Investigations revealed that he had left his Ashongman Estate residence on July 3 after receiving images of cash from a man identified as Bright Aweh , alias “Roberts” or “Highest Bright.” The suspect had lured him with the promise of repaying a debt. Aweh was arrested on July 6 and initially claimed to have handed GHS 500,000 to Amoah. His inconsistent statements and unclear source of the funds raised red flags. While Aweh was initially charged with kidnapping, the case took a grim turn when a severely burnt body, later confirmed through family identification and forensic tests as that of Amoah, was discovered on July 9 near the GBC Satellite area in Accra. Further forensic investigations at Aweh’s residence uncovered bloodstains, a freshly sprayed wall, and a blood-stained fufu pestle found in nearby bushes. His impounded vehicle also tested positive for human blood. DNA samples provided by the deceased’s mother and son are aiding further analysis. Aweh has since been re-arrested and formally charged with murder, currently remanded and due to reappear in court on August 8, 2025. Police says they are now pursuing possible accomplices linked to this heinous act. The CID also announced the capture of notorious fugitive Abubakari Sadick , the alleged leader of a sophisticated vehicle robbery syndicate targeting rental companies and private drivers. Sadick and his cohorts posed as religious workers or NGO members, renting vehicles under false pretenses and robbing drivers en route, particularly in Northern Ghana. One such victim was tied to a tree near Yendi in November 2022 before his Land Cruiser was stolen. Other vehicles including a Toyota Vitz and additional Land Cruisers were also stolen in a similar fashion and later sold across Ghana. Despite a 25-year sentence in absentia by the Cape Coast High Court for a previous 2021 robbery, Sadick had remained at large. He was even briefly arrested in Burkina Faso in 2023 but escaped custody before extradition. On July 28, 2025, a combined effort by the CID’s Anti-Armed Robbery Unit and National Security led to his arrest in Accra. He is now in custody and assisting with investigations, with police calling on victims and rental operators to come forward. Arrest Made in Madina Taxi Driver Robbery Police have also apprehended a key suspect involved in the January 1, 2025 robbery of taxi driver Vic Martin Obeng . Obeng was attacked while transporting three passengers from Madina Zongo Junction to Haatso. He was bound, robbed of his cash, mobile phone, and GHS 13,000 in mobile money, and left near Westland. Suspect Vincent Gbetorglo  was arrested on July 30 at Accra Mall. A search revealed the victim’s phone and three others. He claimed to have purchased them at Circle but failed to prove this. Investigations revealed Gbetorglo is an ex-convict, previously sentenced to 40 years in 2011 and released in 2023 after a successful appeal. On his part, Divine Selase Agbeti, Ag. Director-General, Cyber Security Authority noted that some major operation took place at Dodowa Sassabi in the Ubuntu Estate. He stressed that Twenty-five (25) foreign nationals were apprehended in a swift raid. Among the items retrieved were 40 laptops, 30 mobile phones, and sophisticated Starlink internet equipment. Preliminary investigations identified 23 of the individuals as victims, who have since been repatriated to their countries of origin with the assistance of our international partners. The second raid occurred in the Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro enclave, resulting in the arrest of 16 foreign nationals. Law enforcement recovered 22 laptops and 11 mobile phones. So far, 13 of the suspects are being processed for repatriation as victims of trafficking. In another operation near the Junction Mall in Teshie-Nungua, 14 suspects—13 foreign nationals and one Ghanaian—were picked up. Ongoing investigations are working to determine which of the suspects are victims and which will face prosecution. Legal and diplomatic procedures are underway. Notably, Ghanaian nationals have also been implicated in cybercrime networks. On May 29, 2025, a team led a raid in Sogakope which led to the arrest of 10 individuals allegedly involved in impersonating Members of Parliament and senior government officials online. These criminals were luring victims with promises of jobs in top state institutions including the Ghana Armed Forces, Police Service, Immigration, Customs, Cocobod, Masloc, and the Scholarship Secretariat. The ringleader initially escaped but was captured days later in Sege on June 1, 2025. These operations underline the growing threat of cybercrime and the critical importance of collaboration among national security agencies. The CSA is particularly grateful to the Director-General of CID, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, whose leadership and cooperation have been instrumental in these operations. "We also extend appreciation to our international partners for their continued support in identifying and repatriating victims" The CSA and Ghana Police Service remain united in the fight against cybercrime, committed to dismantling criminal networks, protecting victims, and enhancing Ghana’s cybersecurity resilience.

Host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere, has been released from the custody of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) following the agreement and fulfillment of revised bail conditions. The new bail terms, secured by the Jospong Group of Companies, replaced the initial requirements which Adom-Otchere was unable to meet due to the lack of landed property in Ghana. He was released in the company of his legal team, led by former Attorney General Godfred Dame. Despite his release, sources confirm that Adom-Otchere has been recalled by the OSP to complete outstanding administrative procedures, as the case remains under investigation. He faces charges related to a revenue assurance contract allegedly awarded to a private firm without full board approval during his time at GACL. The OSP, in a statement issued on Friday, August 1, confirmed that the revised bail conditions meet the objectives of the original terms and reaffirmed that the matter is still being actively pursued.
