I realized the car was burning so I had to rush to her room and alert her of the incident”, he stressed. Asked if they suspected any foul play he responded; “personally how the thing started was weird and fire service personnel indicated the fire never started from the bonnet which could be possible that someone may have engineered the act because the vehicle was used a day earlier and nothing points to the fact it was an electrical fault.” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture Credit: Ghana Web

A police detective has said one of the two Nigerians standing trial over the four missing girls in Takoradi in the Western Region kidnapped two of the victims. Detective Inspector Peedah William Azumah of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS) in Sekondi told a Sekondi High Court yesterday that Samuel Udoetuk Wills, a key suspect in the Takoradi missing girls' case told him (CID) that it was John Oji, another suspect, who did the kidnapping. He said Mr. Wills had admitted to him that his co-accused kidnapped Ruth Quayson and one of the Priscillas involved, but could not state whether it was Priscilla Koranchie or Priscilla Blessing Bentum, both victims. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-veteran-actor-fred-amugi-is-72-yrs-today The police officer, who was part of the team that investigated the case involving Ruth Abekah, another victim, said Mr. Wills mentioned in his investigation caution statement that he did not directly kidnap the girls, but his close friend John Oji did. According to the CID, who is the 21st witness in the case, Mr. Wills indicated that he did not know Ms. Abekah, let alone kidnap or kill her. Traveling To Ghana According to the investigator, Mr. Wills stated in the caution statement that he came to Ghana from Nigeria about eight to nine years ago and that he was a school bus driver for a secondary school at Port Harcourt. He said when he came to Ghana he stayed in Accra for three years before moving to Takoradi from 2005 to 2017, and taught as a teacher in a preparatory school at Fijai near Sekondi, and used to stay in the area. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo The CID officer quoted the accused as saying in his statement read in court that he later moved and rented a single room self-contained house at Kansaworodo near Takoradi and lived with his girlfriend called Emily Alimo. He stated that since his stay in Ghana, he had not kidnapped any person but he was accused of the crime in December 2018. He said on August 3 and 6, 2019, he was taken from the prison to a police station then to his former residence where he was “shown some bones of varied sizes found in the manhole where my accommodation was. “And another one also in a well at an uncompleted building where I stayed before. The police told me that the bones were that of the girls I was suspected to have kidnapped,” Mr. Wills said in the statement.

He said he was looking for a job so he posted his Curriculum Vitae (CV) on social media. He said one day, Mr. Wills contacted him and said he stayed in South Africa and that he could link him up for a job. He stated that Mr. Wills later demanded money from him to help him get a job in Ghana where he had moved to. He said somewhere in July 2017, Mr. Wills asked him to come to Ghana for the job, and when he came he realized Mr. Wills was staying with his girlfriend, so he stayed with Wills for only 12 days. “When the job was not forthcoming, I decided to return to Nigeria, but I didn’t have money for transportation so I asked him to get me my money and in the process, a quarrel ensued,” Mr. Oji stated in his caution statement.

He said when he arrived he met the person who also warned him not to open the box and took him on his motorbike to the lorry station to return to Takoradi. He indicated in his statement that two days later, Mr. Wills was angry with him, alleging that he (Oji) opened the box but he insisted he did not. “Mr. Wills asked me to send the box back but I didn’t and went back to Nigeria,” he said in the investigations caution statement. He added that on December 2, 2018, he returned to Ghana after Udoetuk Wills had convinced him to come for his money, claiming, “When I came, he refused to give me my money so I returned to Nigeria.” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/lifestyle-how-to-naturally-avoid-pregnancy-without-using-contraceptives-photos He told the CID that in June 2019, the police lured him on WhatsApp to Benin where he was arrested. “On August 6, 2019, the police showed me some bones taken from a well and I told them I don’t have any knowledge about the bones and that I didn’t kidnap anyone,” he said in the statement. Cross-Examination During cross-examination, Mark Bosia, the legal aid lawyer for Mr. Oji, asked the CID whether he was aware Mr. Wills had made some statement which turned out to be false. The CID answered in the affirmative. Credit: Daily Guide

Joe Biden has won the race to become the next US president, defeating Donald Trump following a cliff-hanger vote count after Tuesday's election. The BBC projects that Mr Biden has won the key battleground of Pennsylvania, propelling him over the 270 electoral college vote threshold required to clinch the White House. The Trump campaign has indicated their candidate does not plan to concede. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/watch-sarkodie-kuami-eugene-jam-to-happy-day-at-233-bar-videos Mr Biden said he was "honoured and humbled" to be elected. "In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America," he said. It was now time to "put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation", he said. "It's time for America to unite. And to heal." The result makes Mr Trump the first one-term president since the 1990s. The BBC's projection of Mr Biden's victory is based on the unofficial results from states that have already finished counting their votes, and the expected results from states like Wisconsin where the count is continuing. His projected win in Pennsylvania takes him to 273 electoral college votes. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-veteran-actor-fred-amugi-is-72-yrs-today The election has seen the highest turnout since 1900. Mr Biden has won more than 74 million votes so far, the most ever for a US presidential candidate. Mr Trump has drawn more than 70 million, the second-highest tally in history. Follow all the latest live updates Joe Biden and a life in politics US election results in maps and charts Who is potential US first lady Jill Biden? President Trump had falsely declared himself the winner of the election when vote counting was unfinished. He has since alleged irregularities in counting, but has not presented any evidence of election fraud. His campaign has filed a barrage of lawsuits in various states and on Friday, as Mr Biden appeared on the cusp of victory, said: "This election is not over." The Trump campaign has indicated the incumbent president does not plan to concede READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo The election was fought as coronavirus cases and deaths continued to rise across the United States, with President Trump arguing a Biden presidency would result in lockdowns and economic gloom. Joe Biden accused the president of failing to impose sufficient measures to control the spread of Covid-19. Joe Biden is now set to return to the White House, where he served for eight years as President Barack Obama's deputy. At the age of 78, he will be the oldest president in American history, a record previously held by the man he has now defeated, Donald Trump, who is 74. Joe Biden's projected victory after four days of painstaking vote-counting is the denouement of an extraordinary campaign, conducted during a devastating pandemic and widespread social unrest, and against a most unconventional of incumbents. In his third try for the presidency, Mr Biden found a way to navigate the political obstacles and claim a win that, while perhaps narrow in the electoral college tally, is projected to surpass Mr Trump's overall national total by at least four million votes. With his projected victory, Joe Biden becomes the oldest man ever elected to the White House. He brings with him the first woman vice-president, whose multi-ethnic heritage carries with it numerous other firsts. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/lifestyle-how-to-naturally-avoid-pregnancy-without-using-contraceptives-photos Mr Biden can now begin the arduous task of planning the transition to his new administration. He will have just under three months to assemble a cabinet, determine policy priorities and prepare to govern a nation facing numerous crises and sharply divided along partisan lines. Joe Biden has been dreaming of the White House for most of his 50 years in the public arena. With this prize of a lifetime, however, come the challenges of a lifetime. What happens now? Usually the losing candidate concedes but Mr Trump has vowed to contest the election results on several fronts. Responding to the Pennsylvania results, his campaign put out a statement saying: "This election is not over. The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final." A recount will be held in Georgia, where the margins are tight, and Mr Trump wants the same in Wisconsin. He has also vowed to take legal action to the Supreme Court, alleging voting fraud without evidence. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture If the election result is challenged, it would require legal teams to challenge this in the state courts. State judges would then need to uphold the challenge and order a recount, and Supreme Court justices could then be asked to overturn a ruling. Meanwhile, votes in some states are continuing to be counted and results are never official until final certification, which occurs in each state in the weeks following the election. This must be done before 538 chosen officials (electors) from the Electoral College - which officially decides who wins the election - meet in their state capitals to vote on 14 December. The electors' votes usually mirror the popular vote in each state. However, in some states this is not a formal requirement. The new president is officially sworn into office on 20 January after a transition period to give them time to appoint cabinet ministers and make plans. The handover of power takes place at a ceremony known as the inauguration, which is held on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC.

Democratic candidate Joe Biden has pulled ahead of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a key state in the US presidential race results in data show. Mr Biden is leading by nearly 10,000 votes, with 98% counted. If he takes the state, he will win the election. Earlier, Mr Biden edged ahead of his Republican rival in Georgia, another key battleground state, where a recount will now be held. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign said: "This election is not over." READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-veteran-actor-fred-amugi-is-72-yrs-today In a statement, Trump campaign lawyer Matt Morgan claimed without evidence that ballots in Georgia were "improperly harvested" and that in Pennsylvania election observers were not given "meaningful access" to counting, despite a judge's order allowing them further access on Thursday. Latest updates: Election hinges on swing states US election results in maps and charts Tables turned as Trump voters start to worry A senior Trump administration official told CBS News Mr Trump did not plan to concede in the event of a victory declaration by Mr Biden. What's the current state of the race? Mr Biden currently has 253 Electoral College votes, while Mr Trump has 214. To win the White House, a candidate needs 270. Some news organisations have a higher tally for Mr Biden, having projected a win for the Democrat in Arizona. But the BBC considers the state too early to call. Pennsylvania, where Mr Biden was born, has 20 Electoral College votes. If the Democrat wins it, he will secure the victory with 273 votes. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo Pennsylvania has always been a major political battleground. The state voted Democrat in six consecutive races before it swung to Mr Trump in 2016. In Georgia, Mr Biden is currently leading with more than 1,500 votes, with 99% of the ballots counted. Georgia's secretary of state said there would be a recount because the margin was so small. Georgia is a traditionally Republican state and has not been won by a Democrat in a presidential race since 1992. Mr Trump's team says legal challenges and recounts in some states will favour them. Bob Bauer, a Biden campaign lawyer, says the lawsuits are legally "meritless" and designed "to message falsely about what's taking place in the electoral process". The vote is also currently too close to call in Nevada and North Carolina. A win in just Pennsylvania, or two of the other four remaining states would be enough to confirm Mr Biden as president-elect. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/lifestyle-how-to-naturally-avoid-pregnancy-without-using-contraceptives-photos Mr Trump, meanwhile, would need to win Pennsylvania and three of the remaining four states. Here's the latest from the three other states that are still up for grabs: Mr Trump has cut the Democratic candidate's lead in Arizona to about 47,000 votes. The BBC's partner CBS News has categorised the state, which carries 11 electoral college votes, as a "likely" win for Mr Biden Mr Trump had a lead of more than 76,000 in North Carolina (15 electoral votes) with 96% of votes tallied In Nevada, Mr Biden has an edge of more than 11,000 over Mr Trump. The state has six votes under the electoral college system. An election official there said the results from more than 51,000 postal ballots would be updated on Friday It won't be long now. Overnight, Joe Biden pulled ahead of Donald Trump in Georgia. And with the latest batch of vote totals released, Biden has taken the lead over Trump in Pennsylvania. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture Georgia's 16 electoral votes would be enough to guarantee at least a tie in the Electoral College, pending results from the other uncalled states. Pennsylvania would single-handedly deliver the White House to Biden. The trendlines in both states are clear, as well. Biden has been netting more votes with each new tally, and he's only going to extend his lead in both states. There are fewer ballots to count in Georgia, so the state is going to stay close - and the recount has already been announced. By the time all is said and done, however, Biden should lead in Pennsylvania by more than Donald Trump won the state by in 2016. The drama from these last few days is the result of the process by which these states have counted their votes - tallying mailed-in ballots that have tilted heavily toward Biden after in-person ones, which have been in Trump's favour. If the process had been reversed, the picture on election night would have been much clearer from the start. After the dust settles, the results are what they are. And in Delaware, Biden is probably smiling. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo What have the candidates said? Mr Trump has made unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. Speaking from the White House on Thursday, the president said: "If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes they can try to steal the election from us." Trump's 17-minute speech fact-checked Beyond allegations of irregularities, the Trump campaign has not presented any evidence. Trump's unsubstantiated voting fraud claims explained The president added: "We were winning in all the key locations, by a lot actually, and then our numbers started getting miraculously whittled away in secret." "There's been a lot of shenanigans and we can't stand for that in our country," he said.

Election analysts also say the president's claims of Democratic electoral corruption are undermined by the better-than-expected performance of his fellow Republicans in congressional races across the map. Several US networks cut their feeds of Mr Trump's speech, while numerous Republicans criticized the remarks. 'All of a sudden Trump's losing? Come on' In a brief televised address, Mr Biden appealed for calm across the country and again expressed confidence he would be declared the winner. "Democracy is sometimes messy," he said. "It sometimes requires a little patience as well."
