it all started few years ago when i received a Facebook message that a travel agency in Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from a lot of people and kept sending them money for the travel to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Lagos that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos they took the remaining money i had on me and seized my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and resorted to sleeping under a bridge with some other homeless people and was begging people during the day for help to go back to Ghana, police raided the place i was squatting after some days and arrested everybody there, they took us to court because hard drugs and guns were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had nobody and lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and sent back to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please i need help of any amount of money so i can eat and treat myself, i have been sick and i have not eaten good food for sometime now, i don't want to die now my freedom date is near, no amount of money is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount of money sent to me and God will bless and reward the sender abundantly, i can work for the sender when i return to Ghana in 3 months time to pay back, we manage to use smuggled phones here to beg people through Facebook and other social media platforms, this is how most prisoners here survive because we are very desperate, the situation here is so terrible, horrible and pathetic, infact we are in hellfire here, people die everyday here from starvation and minor illnesses like malaria and ulcer, please i need help urgently, i need to eat good food and buy malaria drugs to treat myself, the food they give us here is small portions of watery beans and jollof rice that can't satisfy a child, when an inmate is sick here and doesn't have money to buy medication, the prison warders will ignore you until you die or recover without taken medication, they may only give you paracetamol and antibiotics if you cry too much, but if you have money, the prison warders can buy for you good food and medicines from outside, i can be reached on WhatsApp via +2348140725576, this is my cellmate's number, some warders smuggle in phone for people here if you bribe them, i don't have a phone, when you chat, tell her you want to chat with Sandra so she can give the phone to me, please help make my story go viral so i can get help by posting my story and my cellmate's WhatsApp number: +2348140725576 on Facebook and WhatsApp groups, please i need help, i'm suffering a lot here.

Yes ex Chief Justice Torkornoo ensured that people were tried during the legal vacation in 2023.
AK, please Google and see. NPP always feel when even they are not in power, they should be ruling from opposition. NPP introduced OSP plus Fast Track Courts and it was accepted, NDC is introducing Tribunals then NPP say no. NPP added 7 more regions to the existing 9, accepted. NDC is introducing voting for MCE & DCE, NPP say no. Are we not the same people who say Court proceedings take too long in Ghana. Why the cry if it is being addressed? In opposition, they want to control the judiciary. Buy time, just in case they return to power in 2028, which I doubt, then they will hurriedly release the crooks after serving for a very short period under NDC. Current CJ do your good work. Don't listen to them la. They can later sue you in Court if they so chose.

No one needs to tell you that desperation is setting in for the npp and they are now turning towards lawlessness and utter disrespect for the bench. Atta Akyea has filed a motion for bail for Wontumi which is to be moved at the high court next week which is during the legal vacation. But as for Adu Boahen's trial, that one they won't go to court during the legal vacation. You see the double standards and the lawlessness????? And these are the apostles of the rule of law???? And that their demi god J B Danquah believed in the rule of law and is the doyen of ghana politics. Right?? So Atta Akyea a kyebi man is indirectly telling us this is the lawlessness bequeathed to them by their great legal philosopher J B Danquah who they openly boast about??A commentator has commented on this platform that the npp is seriously a party in decline. THERE IS KNOW BETTER TRUISM THAN THAT!!!!!!

During the days of former CJ Torkornoo, judges sittings on criminal cases were the orders of the day during thr legsl vacation period. Please, stop the hypocrisy and let peace prevail, your nitwits supporters can be easily mislead. We are not all NPP members and weren't stupid and naive as you'll like to think. Your cronies crooks will be dealt with expeditiously, putting their sticking fingers into state coffers comes with consequences, let them face the music they've composed and dance to it.

NPP there is nothing wrong for you to account to the Ghana electorate who voted massively and gave you the power for 8 years. But the ARROGANT and disrespectful Akyem Abuakwa CRIMINALS Akuffo Addo and Ken Ofori Atta and Bawumia and Gabby Octhere Darko and Atta Kyea and Freddie Blay and other criminals borrowed over 51 Billion US dollars and looted and looted them all. In 2022 NPP Ken Ofori Atta and Bawumia took Ghana to the IMF and the World Bank Cup in hand to beg for a bailout. Ghana defaulted on its international loans and interest payments to the IMF and the World Bank. Ghana is a FAILED STATE. Ghana has been to the IMF and the World Bank 18 times since independence. How can the NPP conscience be for stealing the Ghana borrowed money? NPP bring the looted money back. NPP the Ghana electorate taught you a lesson in 2024. The Ghana electorate saw your stealing of Ghana borrowed money and Ghana poor pensioners money through illicit means. NPP Ghana needs accountability and transparency and openness. Even the Ashanti region refused to vote for the NPP AKYEM Abuakwa CRIMINALS. How many NPP MPs do you have now? Rationalise and apologise to the Ghana electorate. NPP you are shameless and unpatriotic thieves

BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!

SAMMY GYAMFI’S GOLD BOARD IS REPORTING AN UNEXPLAINED LOST OF A WHOPPING $ 1.9’BILLION ( GHC 22 BILLION ) IN 2025 ACCORDING TO IMF OFFICIAL STATEMENT!

I EXPECT BAWUMIA TO GIVE A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS LATEST DEVELOPMENT OF FORGET ABOUT 2028.

WHERE IS IMANI’S FRANKLIN CUDJOE AKA KPOKPOBLIBLI?

WHERE IS RAYMOND ARCHER’S INSIGHT NEWS PORTAL?
WHERE’S THE THOMPSON WHATEVER HERALD NEWS REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT? WHY ARE THEY MUM ON THE NOUVELLE(S)?

Ghanaians in Ghana and around the world— this is the latest nouvelle and a super duper grand gigantic corruption news of all time. The corrupt NDC government has broken their own record on corruption.

The IMF came out to report that Sammy Gyamfi the NDC foul mouthed baby with sharp who always taunted the Akuffo-Addo administration calling them all sorts of names for unsubstantiated corruption allegations has come out to declare during IMF formal financial oversight hearings that his so called Gold Buying scheme has lost a whopping $ 1.9+’billion equivalent of GHC 22 Billion over the past one year. I’m talking about a whooooping GHC 22 Billion! That amount is enough to construct the entire road networks in Ghana both Inter Regional Highways and City Roads.

That’s the amount Sammy Gyamfi is claiming to have lost over the last one year. How come such super duper colossal be lost just in one in a country that runs to World Bank and other financial institutions to borrow only $ 100 million dollars to construct healthcare facilities? This the official statement from IMF as reported by: News Insider Africa and the Bloomberg financial report.

“A new report has revealed that although Ghana's gross international reserves climbed to $11.9 billion by the end of 2025, the central bank incurred a significant loss of 22 billion cedis ($1.9 billion) that same year. This loss was linked to a special domestic program designed to buy gold from local miners to strengthen the country's financial safety net. • Ghana's central bank reported a loss of 22 billion cedis ($1.9 billion) in 2025 due to a gold-buying program.
* The program aimed to boost Ghana's foreign-exchange reserves by purchasing gold from small-scale and artisanal miners.
* Losses resulted from high service fees, assay charges, and trading margins, as noted by the IM.
* Despite the financial loss, the program increased Ghana’s reserves by $3.9 billion”.
* This report was published by : Business insider Africa.

And yet this sel-same lawyer has filed an application for bail pending appeal for Wontumi requesting a judge to hear the said case during the very legal vacation that he says he won't be available. These NPP lawyers are really an anathema to the legal profession.

And to readers, please be informed that courts don't count on lawyers to deal with any case. If the lawyer does not come to court, the court will proceed and ask the accused or the party in the case to do his own case. Lawyers are only aides and never the substantive parties. In criminal cases, luke the Adu Boahene case, accused persons are mandatorily expected to be in court otherwise a bench warrant will ne issued for your arrest and with that the judge will be justogied to keep you fettered until the final determination of the case; unlike a civil matter So Adu Boohene must be aware; he us an accused person. He should tell his lawyer to stop the politics and behave like a professional lawyer

Why are you so entitled, fool? Nonsense? If you like don't show up in court, and I expect the judicial council to sanction you and your client too. Gbemela yakame. Only God knows how irresponsible you npp are when you're in power: just recklessness and entitlement. Now you don't want to dance to your own tune. Menyemie korde nume nawo. Eblume Gbemela. Yakame emophodi.

Atta Akyea if you like comply with the directives or disregard it.
Aren’t you the one who kept on granting strides you have been making in the case to the press consistently?

You have always been loud on the issue at stake after each court hearing so what at all are you afraid of?

Aren’t you confident in your position and what you have achieved so far?

The other criminal cases etc you are referring to, how many of them involve accountability to such colossal amounts purported to have been stolen by your clients?

Whether you like it or not the case continues. You can choose to remain home since you know very well that, the consequences will be shifted to the accused persons.

After all your theatrics it’s only Wontumi who is suffering in the prison cells.

Winning your case by casting doubts in the evidence led by prosecution isn’t about noise making.

It’s the same posture you adapted during the 2013 election petition and Justice Atuguba humbled you. One would have thought that you would have learnt lessons from the posturing of Lawyer Ayikwei Otoo but you keep on believing in your arrogance.

CONTINUE ok

If your client is innocent as you always claim you should have been happy with the directive so that your client will be cleared as soon as possible. This your action is evident that you don't trust the innocence of your client and therefore you want to buy more time to waste the resources and time of the court and the state

Adu-Boahene stole so much that he didn’t even go on vacation when he was at post.
The judiciary must work 24/7 without break & must make sure they retrieve the stolen monies & JAIL those who deserve to be in prison.
Atta Akyea himself must be thrown to Jail because he was very corrupt.
What a Hell Npp thinks of Ghana like as if they own this shit of land.

NPP there is nothing wrong for you to account to the Ghana electorate who voted massively and gave you the power for 8 years. But the ARROGANT and disrespectful Akyem Abuakwa CRIMINALS Akuffo Addo and Ken Ofori Atta and Bawumia and Gabby Octhere Darko and Atta Kyea and Freddie Blay and other criminals borrowed over 51 Billion US dollars and looted and looted them all. In 2022 NPP Ken Ofori Atta and Bawumia took Ghana to the IMF and the World Bank Cup in hand to beg for a bailout. Ghana defaulted on its international loans and interest payments to the IMF and the World Bank. Ghana is a FAILED STATE. Ghana has been to the IMF and the World Bank 18 times since independence. How can the NPP conscience be for stealing the Ghana borrowed money? NPP bring the looted money back. NPP the Ghana electorate taught you a lesson in 2024. The Ghana electorate saw your stealing of Ghana borrowed money and Ghana poor pensioners money through illicit means. NPP Ghana needs accountability and transparency and openness. Even the Ashanti region refused to vote for the NPP AKYEM Abuakwa CRIMINALS. How many NPP MPs do you have now? Rationalise and apologise to the Ghana electorate. NPP you are shameless and UNPATRIOTIC criminals

The lawyers cannot dictate to the state. If they won't serve their clients, they can opt out but the state will continue with the trials. Atta Akyea says the decision to select certain cases to go on trial during their vacation period is unprecedented. He lied. Araba Torkornoo ordered about 12 courts out of over 50 to sit during their vacation time. Look, this group of liars or twerps whose aim is to evade justice with all manner of excuses should give us a break. They can petition, make noise, tell lies but these shall not stand. The truth is the truth and the law is the law.

The Bantama gang just completed the demonstration of Ashantis by Ashantis for Ashantis. Now they are on a strike of Ashanti lawyers. Natural arrogance, megalomania, entitlement bars them from any logical reasoning. They are forever frustrated after being swept out of Flagstaff House in disgrace. But the Republic of Ghana will never look back.
