Master, I almost bought into your reasoning until your innermost biases were spelled out unconsciously. You see, you referred to Ewes and Gonjas trying to internally colonize and dominate us. But your stern warning for such behavior referred to Trokosi and Atinga predators. You see Kwame, Atinga is Frafra not Gonja. Your reference is that of your innermost hatred for the Frafras which I vehemently will not associate myself with.

I care not a hoot whether you "buy" into my exposition of the reality or not. I am not selling anything, just providing a picture of the reality.

Besides, I have already made my choice of not living with such abominable realignment of neocolonialist forces; neither am I running for office nor desirous of the same. So, really, what is your problem?

Of course, I know Atinga is a Frafra name, just like Abongo, so your counter-argument is neither here nor there. After all, they all have a common cause which both routinely express at the polls, so Gonja or Atinga, it's all Greek to me, anyway.

And, by the way, I have lived and befriended Frafra people. I also admire them for being among the most hardworking Ghanaians.

Your attempt at political equalization is shocking and very well uninformed but, I do understand since you have decided to leave thousands of miles away and throw stones at the native gods.

NPP has the disease and are refusing to take their medicine and although not an NDC, I can understand their conscious effort at fighting this tribal issue so as not to fall into same bigotry pan as your beloved 'white boot licker' party.

Where was the name Dumbo till recently. Yes, the NPP will gradually learn the bitter results of the evil you sow.
You say, the NDC is Fanti and Ewe bias, what about them being consciously bias to northerners and Brongs, Ga Adangbe and the many Ashantis who have worked and still work for the party.

It is very good, to see you floored by a simple comment from Ligri and I doubt, you have any conscience to change your evil divisive ways in the future.

Yes, as an Ashanti, I proudly associate with the Fantis, northerners, Brongs, Ewes and any meaningful Ashanti or Akyem who believes in project Ghana and not your bigotry divide and rule strategy.

Coming from the den, I know exactly what I am dealing with and we will not be relentless until the evil spirits
of division, and self aggrandizement among some of you is exterminated or die with you lots.
Sometimes, you lots must thank Nkrumah for passing the Avoidance of Discrimination Act, 1957 through parliament, else you party would have been more fragmented.

The whole issue is that, the principles on which the UP tradition was built seems to pull you towards the corridors of divisiveness.

The picture of your reality is that you think as an Akyem you are the bravest, most hard working Ghanaian who should own 'Motherland' Ghana. Fair enough that you think so of yourelf but why should others not think the same of themselves? This campaign of yours for another road to Kigali will end nowhere. Ghana is NOT Okyeman or Asanteman! Ghana includes all including what you call Trokosiland, Atingaland or Gonjaland. Fanteman, Brongkyempen and many others are part of this Motherland. Your threats to rid Ghana of some tribes cannot frighten anyone. Wo ka no kwa, ye te no kwa. Wo huuhu nso nye ye huuuuuuuu! You are just a COWARD who can only write phonus bolonus!

Court remands father for incest and defilement

A 47-year-old farmer who is accused of having sex with his 12 year old daughter at Manhia, near Amasaman on Monday appeared before an Accra Circuit Court.

James Debrah, who is facing charges of defilement and incest, has denied the charge.

The Court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin Doku remanded Debrah into police custody to reappear on October 26.

Prosecuting Detective Inspector Kofi Atimbire told the court that the victim’s mother who is the complainant in the case was married to Debrah but they had separated two years ago.

Detective Inspector Atimbire said the complainant took custody of their four children. Somewhere in December last year, the victim and two other siblings visited their father while on holidays at Manhia.

During their stay, whenever retiring to bed, prosecution said Debrah ask the victim to remove her dress and he gave her a cloth to cover herself.

According to prosecution Debrah, the victim and her other two siblings slept on the floor.

The prosecutor said while sleeping, Debrah removed the victim’s pant and had sex with her and cleaned the victim’s vagina with a toilet roll.

Detective Inspector Atimbire said he continued to pick up the victim to his residence and repeated his sexual activities after the holidays.

On September 25, this year, at about 6:00pm, he went to pick the victim at her mother’s residence at Sakumono and had sex with her.

Prosecution said the victim returned to her mother at Sakumono, and her mother became suspicious of the accused person’s behavior and hence quizzed the victim who let the cat out of the bag.

The prosecutor said the complainant reported the matter to the Police at Baatsona on October 1, this year. The Police, prosecution said, issued a medical form to the victim who was examined and treated by a medical officer.

On October 7, this year Debrah was arrested and in his caution statement denied the offence.

Father jailed 20 years for incest

A 35-year old mechanic who had sex with his four year old daughter was on Tuesday sentenced to 20 years imprisonment by an Accra Circuit Court.

This was after Kofi Akorful was found guilty on the charge of incest by the court presided over by Mrs Rita Agyemang Budu at the end of the trial.

Prosecuting Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Moses Atibilla said the complainant was a trader and the mother of the victim whiles Akorful lives with the complainant and victim in a wooden kiosk at Darkuman.

According to prosecution, the convict on September 15, last year, had sex with the victim at about 1230 hours when the complainant was asleep.

Prosecution said the convict before having sex with the victim, went ahead to hold the hand of the complainant (victim’s mother) to see if indeed she was asleep and repeated the act early this year.

Prosecution said on April 6, when the complainant was preparing the victim for school, she complained of pains in her vagina.

The victim then told the complainant that it was her father who had sex with her and a report was made to the Police at Kaneshie where the victim was medically examined.

The prosecution said Akorful denied the offence in his caution statement.

Farmer jailed 7yrs for defiling daughter

A 40-year old farmer at Ajumako Mando in the Central Region was on Tuesday sentenced to seven years imprisonment in hard labour by a Cape Coast Circuit Court for defiling his 13 year-old daughter.

The convict, Isaac Okyere, who pleaded not guilty to the charges of defilement and incest, was found guilty by the court after trial.

The court presided over by Mr. Kofi Seshie Ametewee sentenced Okyere to seven years for defilement and three years in hard labour for incest ; to run concurrently.

Prosecuting Police Chief Inspector Christina Sampong told the court that Okyere and his daughter (victim), a class six pupil, had been living together at Tweikukrom near Ajumako Mando for the past ten years after her mother divorced him and left for Accra.

She said on Friday February 16, 2015, the victim went to the Ajumako Police station and reported that her father had forcibly had sexual intercourse with her in his room.

Chief Inspector Sampong said Okyere was arrested and handed over to the Domestic Violence Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) at Breman Asikuma for further investigations, which revealed that, on Saturday January 24, this year, at about 1700hrs; Okyere returned from his farm with the victim, lured her into his room and sexually abused her.

The prosecution said the victim narrated her ordeal to her grandmother who refused to act on it hence the victim’s decision to lodge a complaint at the police station where a medical form issued and endorsed by a medical doctor indicated that she had been defiled.

That's a nice piece or article1! I hope that folks would read and digest the content and the context as vividly presented by Bro. Okoampa-Ahoofe Jr. His write up is so clear, nobody should try to twist facts; one could only do that by refusing to accept the truth than lies. NDC is Fante and Ewe-biasd, partly because they believed whatever Rawlings and his AFRC/P-NDC apparatchiks preached to them. They condemned everyone and tried to portray themselves as saints sent from heaven. They promised the Fantis of "Sugar Mountain" while the Ewes just supported Rawlings because in their opinion, Akans had taken over everything and relegated them to the bottom of the society. It's weird to hear them talk about tribalism and nepotism etc. A friend of mine recently asked; "who're more tribalistic in Ghana than Ewe?" I think he was right!

The Colonial Masters (British and French) drew our country's boundries the way it pleased them; they didn't exactly appreciate the fact that the land and borders of the Akan tribes people stretched beyond western boundries of Ghana---into Ivory Coast. It's a fact that Akans constitute 46% of Ghana's population; the NDC has succeeded in capturing the Brong-Ahafo areas and Central Region (Fante) in their campaigns to divide and rule Ghana. The Fantis allowed themselves to be deceived by Rawlings and his gang. They [NDC] have however failed to impress Ghanaian whenever they've succeeded to gain power, esp. the recent electoral fraud that has allowed them back into government. Problems that Ghanaians are going through right now is the direct result of election fraud. It's a fact that nobody can deny. Let's be real and accept facts.

People are beginning to see what's been hidden for so long. The NDC can see "red" and that's why they're afraid. Now they're blaming Pastors and Imams of our nation.

Secondly the NPP should be worried that poeple like Okoampa who have thier fingers constantly on the NPP self-destruct button concerning elections and votes. Why?. Because elections in Ghana are not won by the largest block votes but by 'one man one vote' and '50% + one man'

You are pathetically wrong as Okoampa-Ahoofe can be authority on the politically jaundiced articles he writes for his uneducated and classroom learned but unwise followers. Fantis have shown themselves not only as independent thinkers but also unafraid of any tribe in Ghana neither will we acquiesce to those who shroud themseves in parchment thin claim of intellectual or tribal superiority.
Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe's claim of intelligence come by way of English and Creative writing which speaks volumes for those who understand the various schools at accredited post secondary institutions. The one thing every Ghanaian who went through the elementary and secondary school setup in Ghana acquired more effortlessly was learning both oral and written English. No Ghanaian worth his or her weight in salt especially of the fanti kind shakes because of the collection of post graduate degrees in English by Okoampa-Ahoofe and or his side kick in Dr. Akadu Mensama. Let those who are impressed with academic title of doctor irrespective of discipline be intimidated by Okoampa's unintelligent articles and meaningless rants. Fantis do not roll over for him and or anyone else of his kind.

You have the gut to referred to certain people as minorites and you saw nothing wrong with it, even when sensible people are bringing you to your bloated sense. And you want these minority tribes to make your cousin, Akufo Addo, the president of this country? It is interesting that in your life, you do not know that one plus one is equal two, and that in politics, numbers counts more than ethnicity. The earlier you stop dividing us and inciting other tribes against the Ashanti/Akyems, the better for you. You are an apology of civilizations. You are not worth living among human beings.

I'm sure if you, K O-A, were to run against Prez Mahama, most right-thinking Akans, or specifically Akyems, will vote overwhelmingly for him. At worst, they may sit it out. They'll not vote for a bombastic, intolerable,tunnel-visioned, hate-spewing jackass,since compared to you, Mr Mahama will appear the sanguine choice.

Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe,Jr, when the little minds read your articles they don't understand the context of it. J.J.Rawlings a.k.a YOKO GARI RAWLINGS,came to power brutalized the Asantes and all the atrocities Yoko Gari Rawlings did none of those who are saying you are tribalist advice him and they have the audacity to tell you that you are a trablist this shows how hypocrisy Ghanaians are. Did Yoko Gari Rawlings knew that he was setting his tribe against the Akans? did he thought of it?

Okoampa is not using divide and conquer to rule anyone but rather it was Yoko Gari Rawlings who used that and it worked for him to succeeded. compare and contrast Okoampa and Yoko Gari Rawlings who is more tribalist?
I don't know the reason why people insult Okoampa but ignore Yoko Gari Rawlings who brought tribalism to Ghana, if you have any tribal issues then go and ask Yoko Gari Rawlings because he paved way. Okoampa is not tribalist all that he is saying is the Akans should desist from the NOTORIOUS DEMONIC CANCER ( NDC )

No wonder Yoko Gari Rawlings is demigod to them. Okoampa don't give damn about what they are saying write what it pleases you but not them hypocrite Ghanaians.

Okoampa-Ahoofe, I'm sorry to say that you sound very much like an ignorant bigot and a big fool and not like an enlightened scholar, let alone a Ph.D. holder, when you call all Ewes Trokosis. This is especially so, when you've obstinately refused to be educated about the Trokosi system, which is/was practised within a small enclave in Anlo, and not by all Ewes. Indeed, about 99% of Ewes hadn't heard about the Trokosi system until it was reported in the mass media. Therefore, to call all Ewes Trokosis is tantamount to calling all Akans ritual murderers, when it was your own Akyem family members, including even your idol J. B. Danquah, who barbarically killed one of their chiefs for ritual purposes. Isn't that worse than the Trokosi practice?

You may hate the Ewes and the Gonjas all you want, even when your wife is an Ewe from Abutia in the Volta Region and therefore your children born to you by this unfortunate woman have Ewe blood in them. What's certain, however, is that one day the Ewes would surely want to know from you why you so much hate them. I hope your stupidity wouldn't mislead you into a false sense of security in supposing that because you're far away in America the Ewes can't ask you to explain to them the source of your antipathy towards them.

A Circuit Court at Bekwai in the Ashanti Region has sentenced a 32-year-old man, Augustine Osei, to 16 years imprisonment with hard labour for impregnating his daughter.

The convict was said to have repeatedly defiled the 13-year old. Osei, a native of Ofoase Kokoben, was convicted on his plea of guilty to two counts of defilement and incest, contrary to sections 101 and 105 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).

It was revealed that the convict defiled his daughter on three occasions in their family house at Ofoase Kokoben, near Anwia Nkwanta while his pregnant wife, Akua Afriyie, was away.

The man’s actions were revealed when the class five pupil went to a hospital for medical check-up, complaining of feverishness and stomach pains.

During medical examination, it was discovered that she was pregnant.

Upon interrogation, she pointed at her father as the one responsible for the pregnancy.

Police prosecutor, Chief Inspector Dennis Nana Duku, informed the court that the complainant, Yaw Offin, was the grandfather of the victim, while the convict, Augustine Osei, was a farmer and native of Ofoase Kokoben.

According to him, the convict and the girl’s mother, for some time now, had been cohabitating, living like husband and wife in the local community.

Prosecution said they lived together with their 13-year-old daughter and that Osei took advantage of his wife’s absence and forcibly had sexual intercourse with the daughter in July 2014 after inviting the innocent girl to their room.

Chief Inspector Duku narrated that the convict threatened his daughter with death and succeeded in further abusing the child on different occasions till the girl fell ill and was taken to the hospital, where it was revealed that she was pregnant.

The police prosecutor indicated that the girl blew the cover of her father when the mother demanded to know the man responsible for the 21-week pregnancy.

When he was confronted, Osei pleaded for forgiveness. Akua Afriyie subsequently reported the incident to her father who lodged a complaint with the police, leading to the arrest of the convict who admitted to the offence in his caution statement.

He was, therefore, charged and arraigned after police investigations, leading to his eventual conviction.

The Kumasi gender-based court, presided over by Janet Anima Maafo, has sentenced Victor Danso, 37 years of age, to 18 years’ imprisonment in hard labour for sleeping with his daughter to compensate for the payment of her school fees.

Danso, a taxi driver, who succeeded in having sexual intercourse with his 17-year-old biological daughter—who is in senior high school—has begun paying for the consequences of his conduct.

At the court, he pleaded guilty to two counts of incest and assault, contrary to Sections 105(1) and 84 of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29) as amended by Section 11 of Act 554/98.

Father before court for defiling daughter

The Accra Circuit Court has remanded a 44-year-old father accused of allegedly defiling his biological daughter repeatedly for two years.

The court remanded Solomon Addae Mensah, an electrician, to reappear on September 23, 2014.

Standing trial on three counts of defilement, incest and assault, the accused person pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Even though the accused person denied defiling his daughter upon his arrest on July 11, 2014 and claimed he only assaulted her physically, the court heard that the victim confided in her class teacher that she had been sexually assaulted by her father on many occasions.

Prosecuting, Assistant Superintendent of Police, (ASP) Adiza Suleman, said the teacher, after hearing the story of the teenager, reported the case to the Kaneshie Division of the Domestic Violence, and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service.

According to ASP Suleman, the father of the victim sexually abused her when she was 11-year-old and usually told her to not inform anyone about it.

It is reported that Mensah Addae threatened his daughter with a gun and gave her a whitish substance believed to be narcotic drug before each sexual assault.

ASP Suleman said the victim, now 13, who could no longer bear the ordeal, informed her class teacher.

At the police station, she said, the victim was issued a medical form and was taken to the hospital.

Upon the arrest of the accused person, police investigations showed that the victim had assault marks all over her body, while there was a discharge from her private parts.

According to the Kaneshie Division Coordinator of DOVVSU, Deputy Superintendent of Police Ms Anita Abrakwa, the victim, whose mother died when she was seven years, lived in the same house with her father and her stepmother in the Kaneshie Estates.

After the victim’s mother died she lived with a family friend until she was 11 when her father went for her to live with him.

“But as soon as she moved in with her father, he started having carnal knowledge of her under threat,” she said.

According to Ms Abrakwa, “the victim said she had been subjected to many sexual bouts since she was 11, but her father had put fear in her to not inform anyone."

He was said to have threatened to kill his daughter and dump her body in a manhole if she ever told anyone about the act.

“But the victim, after one of those sexual assaults, could not bear the pain and threats any longer and reported her ordeal to her teacher,” the DOVVSU coordinator added.

The victim produced tattered panties which she said her father tore into shreds as he attempted to force her into having sex with him.

Ms Abrakwa said a medical report form was immediately issued to the victim and an examination at the Police Hospital indicated that her hymen had been broken.

She said when the police searched the residence of the suspect, the gun he had been using to threaten his daughter could not be found, but a mask was retrieved.

On the advice of the Social Welfare Department, the victim now lives with her class teacher until the court decides on the case.

A
Mason jailed for incest

An Accra circuit court has sentenced a mason to five years’ imprisonment for having sex with his 17-year-old daughter. Richard Kumi pleaded guilty to the charge of incest when he made his first appearance before the court presided over by Ms Sedina Agbemava.

The judge said the court gave him a minimum sentence because he spared the court the ordeal of a full trial. The victim is said to have had no opening in her vagina and after a surgery at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Kumi began having sex with her instead of sending the victim for review at the hospital.

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Adiza Suleman said the victim lived with her grandparents at Gomoa Akroful in the Central Region and the convict resided at Shiashie in Accra. According to ASP Suleman, the victim had no opening in her vagina and as result suffered severe pains when she was 12 years old and did not have the monthly menstrual cycle.

The prosecutor said in August last year, the victim was brought from Goma Akroful by her mother to live with Kumi at Shaishie. Later the victim was taken to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for some months where she was operated on successfully. During that period Kumi bathed and cleaned the victim until she recuperated from her surgery.

After the surgery, Kumi was to send the victim to the hospital for review but forced the victim to have sex with her and sometimes beat her whenever she refused to yield to her father’s sexual demands.

On June 16, the victim escaped to her grandparents at Gomoa Akroful and informed them about the ordeal her father was taking her through. Prosecution said Kumi went to visit his wife at Agona Swedru and he was lured to the Police Station where he was arrested and brought to the Airport Police.

Incestuous father’s plea annoys judge

A 40-year-old businessman, Kwame Ofori, is on police record to have hoodwinked his 15-year-old daughter into believing that it is not a crime for a father to sleep with his biological kid.

Ofori, a divorcee, who reportedly told his daughter that “such matters are always shown on TV,” is consequently facing charges of defilement and incest before the Agona Swedru Circuit Court.

Ofori’s plea of not guilty to the charges caused the Presiding Judge of the Akyem Swedru Circuit Court, Mr Yaw Atta Sampong, to remand him in prison custody to appear again before him at a later date.

Inspector Isaac Amon informed the court that on December 31, 2013, Ofori sent his daughter to buy him food from town.

On her return, the accused offered her an opened bottle of Coca Cola to drink but immediately after drinking it she fell asleep, the prosecutor further stated.

Inspector Amon said that Ofori then carried her daughter onto his bed and sexually abused her and then warned her not to inform anybody about it.

“He further deceived her that it was not an offence for a father to sleep with his biological daughter as such matters were always shown on television,” the prosecutor stated further.

Inspector Amon said the victim, however, informed her mother, Rose Gomashie, who lodged a complaint with the Domestic Violence Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Swedru Divisional Police Command that led to Ofori’s arrest.
