Hon. Ayiku Lauds Ga-English Diglot Initiative …Says it would promote evangelism
The Member of Parliament for Ladzokuku Constituency, Hon. Benjamin Ayiku Nartey has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Ga-English Diglot initiative by the Ghana Bible Society to promote Evangelism in the country.
He made this statement during the launch of the first ever Revised Ga-English Diglot held at Peniel Presbyterian Church, Teshie Salem in Accra on the theme, “We heard them speak in our own language” (Acts 25-12).
He applauded the Council and all persons who contributed to the creation of the masterpiece.
The Revised Ga-English Diglot, he said, would not only help in spreading the gospel and winning souls for Christ, but allow for the promotion of Ghana’s heritage.
“Although, several measures have been put in place to promote our cultural heritage, the aspect of language has been largely ignored. I believe efforts such as this would be instrumental in promoting our heritage.
This Ga-English Diglot, I believe, has the tendency to educate Ga, especially the youth, to have a better appreciation of the Ga language”,
Language, he averred, as a tool in gospel advocacy, had proven itself very essential tool in preaching the gospel.
“The perfect example of this was the gift of tongues given to the 12 disciples by the Holy Spirit to assist the deciples in their missionary work.
As such, the church’s exploits in producing this Diglot highlights some remarkable efforts in promoting Evangelism and to this, I salute”.

Abu Trica’s extradition case: Prophets, fetish priests demand pay for spiritual solution …Lawyer reveals
Mr Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a lawyer for embattled Frederick Kumi, affectionately called Abu Trica and has made a shocking revelation over the behaviour of some members of the clergy.
According to him in a post on social media, the difficult part of Abu Trica’s trial is not the law but the number of ‘Men of God’ and fetish priests demanding financial sacrifices to help resolve the matter spiritually.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2026, “The most difficult part about the Abu Trica case; is not the law.”
He continued: “It is the number of, prophetesses, evangelists and fetish priests, who have called or messaged to ask us to pay for spiritual solutions.”
It would be recalled that in March this year, the Gbese District Court dismissed a preliminary objection filed by Abu Trica, challenging the extradition proceedings initiated at the request of the United States.
The court, presided over by Anna Akosua Appiah Gottfried Anaafi Gyasi, in its ruling held that the offences forming the basis of the extradition, particularly wire fraud, constitute extraditable offences under the 1931 treaty between Ghana and the United States.
He was then given 15 days counting from March 27 to appeal the decision of the court or be surrendered for extradition to the US.
Against this backdrop, he was on Tuesday, April 22, granted a bail in the sum of GH¢30,000,000 by an Accra High, pending the appeal of his extradition
Mr Kumi was arrested in Ghana in December 2025 following an indictment by United States authorities, alleging that he played a role in a romance scam network that defrauded elderly American victims of more than $8 million.
