Eye witness who were at the shop at the time of his arrest narrated that the “Adehye Mogya” hit maker’s hubby said Robert, a worker at  Karmodey’s Music Shop failed to pay an amount he owed him hence his decision to seize some CDs in his shop.

Detective Ankra from Sofoline Police Station who confirmed the arrest of Dan Kay in an interview with Ray Charles Marfo of Metro FM said police rushed to Karmodey’s Music Shop when they received a call that the producer was damaging his store.

“We had a call from Karmodey on Monday around 3:30pm that someone was damaging his goods at his shop so we rushed there. When we reached there, it was Dan Kay so we arrested him to Sofoline police Station.

When I went back to the shop to access the damage caused, I returned late so we couldn’t grant him bail. The issue was transferred to Suame Police Station on Tuesday so after our investigations, we realised that the root cause was monetary problem between Karmodey’s worker called Robert and Dan Kay about one of Anita Afriyie’s songs. Police asked of the actual figure involved so Commander told them to return on 21st June to know how best the issue can be solved.” Detective Ankra narrated.

He added that Anita Afriyie’s husband has been granted bail. Below is video of Dan Kay in Karmodey’s Music Shop and photos when he was granted bail.

Confusion rocks burial of Mahama's late mother

Less than 24 hours after the death of Madam Abiba Nnaba, mother of President John Dramani Mahama, there is confusion over where to bury the old woman.

The Chief of Busunu, younger brother to Madam Nnaba’s father has refused to allow the deceased to be buried in Bole which is the hometown of President John Mahama’s father E.A Mahama.

The Chief is currently in a meeting with a delegation from President Mahama father’s family led by the DCE for Damongo.

He insists that because President Mahama’s father divorced Madam Nnaba along the line, it will be improper to allow the former’s family to bury Madam Nnaba in Bole, as against Busunu which is the latter’s hometown.

Kasapa FM’s Northern Regional Correspondent, Illiasu who’s currently at Busunu monitoring the meeting reported that several people are grieving over Madam Nnaba’s death, with sympathizers gathering at the family home.

He added that there’s presence of police and Military officers to ensure a peaceful deliberation.

Madam Abiba Nnaba passed on Tuesday. She is survived by six children including the President.

The family of Abiba Nnaba at Busunu  in the Northern region is yet to be officially notified as tradition demands.

Her body will be flown to Busunu from Accra today for burial in accordance with Islamic tradition.

Military in search for officer allegedly linked to ISIS

Citi News sources within the Ghana Military High Command say they are on a manhunt for one of their officers who is suspected to have links with terrorist group ISIS.

The Officer, Bawa Abdul Rahman, vanished into thin air after his commanders invited him for questioning and further investigations.

According to reports within the Military, Private Bawa Abdul Rahman in dramatic fashion jumped out of the vehicle which was sending him to his bosses for the military inquisition.

Currently, Citi News understands the Military high command is on his heels before he attempts to leave the jurisdiction. 26 -year old Bawa Abdul Rahman is 1.7 meters tall.

It is unclear yet how long he had been in touch with ISIS or whether he has already been recruited.

The Public Affairs Directorate of the military has declined to comment on the matter for now. A few months ago, the national security presented a report to the Education Ministry, warning it about activities of ISIS on the various tertiary institutions, recruiting interested candidates.

In 2015, a student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and one other, joined ISIS.

In response to how he is preparing for his new calling, he disclosed; “Who am I to say no when God has called me. I just have to accept it. Even the Bible says that, no time spent in the house of God will go in vain.”

I won’t react to little boys and girls attributing me to quotes – Mugabe

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has said he is unperturbed by some funny quotes attributed to him, and making rounds on social media platforms, particularly in Ghana.

The veteran politician has recently become the butt of jokes in the West African country as Whatsapp platforms are awash with facetious assertions purportedly coming from him. The nonagenarian has stressed he will not react to those hilarious comments because he is above that.

Among the popular flippant quotes circulating on Whatsapp platforms include:

“If Ghanaians were smart, they would have moved the Akosombo Dam to Circle,” Mugabe, live on Peace FM.

“Even Satan was not gay, he chose to approach naked Eve instead of naked Adam,” Mugabe.

“And to those of you who do not actually go to church but watch it on TV, you will not actually go to Heaven, but you will be allowed to watch it on TV! – Robert Mugabe

“Simbox fraud two years… goat thief seven years… whatever you want to do in life go to school first,” Robert Mugabe 2016.

The Zimbawean High commissioner to Ghana Mrs. Pavelyn Tenclai Musaka said her 92-year-old president is aware of the fake quotes, but will not respond to those trivial pronouncements.

“I don’t get worried,” Musaka told Accra-based Joy FM. “What actually strikes me is that I get surprised this is actually coming from African journalists. As far as I’m concerned if Africans don’t respect another African head of state, I don’t know who else will respect him.”

She opined: “I will engage the Ghanaian and African media to start respecting their own. Charity begins at home. The leaders in this job are the media and they can correct it.”

Musaka pointed out that Africa’s longest serving president will not “react to little boys and girls” because he is a “statesman.”

However, she mentioned the ZANU–PF leader “is not offended” because he is “above that… He is there to fight giants like the Tony Blairs of this world and not those little boys and girls.”

Kumasi Polytechnic outdoors first of its kind electric car

As technology and innovations continue to soar in other parts of the world, Africa has comparatively been unable to penetrate into the mainstream technological and innovation world.

In a bid to achieve the long awaited dream of the over fifty countries around the continent, one of Ghana’s premier polytechnics Kumasi Polytechnic has paved the way as it has assembled the first of its kind electric car.

Though countries including South Africa, Nigeria and Uganda among others have already stepped into the production of electric vehicles, the innovation of Kumasi Polytechnic has led scores of industry players talking.

Rector of the institution, Professor Nicholas Nsowah Nuamah in an exclusive interview with Kapital News said as Africa is widely known to be the heartbeat of the world, it was incumbent on technical as well as technological institutions across the continent to actualize their creative abilities, thereby participating broadly in the manufacturing of first class goods and products.
