His Royal Majesty, Ya-Na Mahama Abubakari Gariba II, has pledged his unwavering support for Governmentโs efforts to maintain peace and security in the Northern Region and across the country.
During a courtesy call by the Interior Minister, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, at the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi, the Overlord of Dagbon called on all stakeholders to use legal and appropriate means to resolve misunderstandings and promote harmony.
The Overlord assured the Minister of his commitment to collaboration and urged him to continue his engagements with stakeholders to promote peace and security.
In his remarks, Hon. Muntaka reiterated the Government’s dedication to working hand-in-hand with traditional authorities to address security challenges and promote development.
The Minister emphasised the vital role of traditional leaders in fostering peace and security, emphasizing their influence in community cohesion. He assured Ya-Na of the Ministryโs commitment to collaborating with the palace to maintain peace and security in the region.
The courtesy call marks a step towards strengthening ties between Government and traditional authority with both sides committed to fostering peace and security in the Northern Region.
The Interior Minister, the Regional Minister and his entourage also visited Zabzugu to encourage police officers recently deployed to the area to maintain law and order amid ongoing disputes. Muntaka Mubarak assured the officers that they would be rotated every three months.
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 fiveโmonthโold 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 childโs mother, 23โyearโold 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 Twezorโs instincts proved rightโthe 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 โvery 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 Generalโs Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastorโs 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 โBuilding meaningful brands beyond the logo,โ 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 todayโs 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.
