Interior Minister, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak has paid visits to the Northern Regional Police Headquarters and the Tamale Central Prison as part of his tour of the Northern Region.
The Minister’s visit aimed to boost the morale of security personnel and understand the challenges faced by inmates in theΒ region.
During his visit to the Regional Police Headquarters, the Minister commended the officers for their dedication to maintaining peace and security in the region.
He engaged in discussions about ongoing efforts to strengthen community policing and address local security challenges.
The Minister also assured the officers of Governmentβs commitment to providing resources and training to enhance their operational effectiveness.
At Tamale Central Prison, Hon. Muntaka met with inmates and officers, emphasising the need for various agricultural and industrial projects to improve the feeding conditions of inmates as well as skills acquisition for the inmates.
He listened to concerns raised by inmates and discussed initiatives aimed at improving prison conditions and supporting post-release opportunities.
The Minister reiterated Governmentβs focus on humane treatment and reformation within the correctional system, as well as various challenges faced by the Ghana Prisons Service, including overcrowding and inadequate resources.
Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a fiveβmonthβold baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the childβs mother, 23βyearβold Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezorβs instincts proved rightβthe baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as βvery beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney Generalβs Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastorβs influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme βBuilding meaningful brands beyond the logo,β the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in todayβs competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
