FAKE EVANGELIST CHARGED WITH CAUSING FEAR AND PANIC

-


A Kumasi-based self-acclaimed Evangelist, Alhassan Ibrahim, is still in police custody as a result of his failure to have anyone to stand surety for his bail condition after the Ashtown District Court granted him bail. 

The Evangelist appeared before the Ashtown District Court yesterday on charges of causing fear and panic initiated by the Ashanti Regional Police Command. 

According to the Deputy Ashanti Regional Police Commander, ACP Ampofo Duku, Evangelist Ibrahim was arrested by the Police for claiming on a Kumasi-based private radio station that he is a born again hardened criminal who had informants and collaborators within the top hierarchy of the Ghana Police Service.
 
According to the Deputy Regional Police Commander, last week, Evangelist Ibrahim, while giving his self-confessed testimony on Sunsum FM, claimed that he entered into armed robbery at age 10 and and remained in it until he became the Leader of armed robbers in Ghana. 

ACP Ampofo Duku said the man also claimed to have links with top Police officials who not only supplied him with information of operations but importantly, arms for their robbery expeditions. 

Additionally, the self-acclaimed Evangelist alleged that he once killed a pregnant woman whose heart he took away to far away Benin for rituals to fortify himself in the armed robbery.
                                                        
It was after his allegations on the radio station that the Police invited him to assist them to investigate those claims to enable them to take the most appropriate action on the matter, especially to unravel his allies in the police service.

 ACP Ampofo Duku said the man could however not substantiate his allegations only to claim that  the testimony is his way of winning souls for Christ. 

ACP Ampofo Duku said the man is healthy mentally. 

It was for this reason that the Police preferred the charge of causing fear and panic among the public with the view to protecting the larger society from similar minded people.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency whic...

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously milit...
