Go for a ‘kill’-Samini urges Black Stars
Renowned Ghanaian artiste Samini has urged the Black Stars to ‘go for a kill’ when they face off with Mozambique on Monday in their final Group B match of the ongoing African Cup of Nations(AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
The celebrated reggae, highlife and dancehall great who is currently in Abidjan to support the team said, after losing and drawing the first two games, it was only vital to go for a win this time.
“It is not an easy position to be in now as a team, but I will urge the Black Stars to keep their heads up,be focused and go for a kill after losing and drawing the first games,” he stated.
He added that, it was becoming more difficult to sit at home and watch so he thought it would be better to be in Abidjan in person to add his energy to Ghana’s last group game.
“So that if we are lucky,we get a win and stay in the competition because it would not be good to go home like this.So I am here to add my energy to the last energy that is left so that we see what happens,” he stressed.
“In our last game, we gave goals away for free but if we are able to hold tight and not make such mistakes, we can win 2-0 against Mozambique,” he predicted.
Samini joined some over 150 Ghanaian supporters fully sponsored by telecommunications giants MTN to Ivory Coast to support the Black Stars.
MTN over the years, had been one of the major sponsors of the Black Stars, extending their commitment to ensuring that fans were present at international competitions to support the team.
The outfit supported several Ghanaians to cheer the Black Stars at the last World Cup in Qatar and now, the AFCON in Ivory Coast and committed to sustaining their sponsorship in subsequent competitions.

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested a man believed to be behind a series of robberies and killings of taxi drivers in the Greater Accra Region.
According to a statement from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the suspect, Peter Akakpo, also known as “Dompe,” was arrested on October 13, 2025, at Kasoa-Domeabra.
Police say he is an ex-convict and is believed to have worked with another suspect, Vincent Gbetorglo, who was arrested earlier on June 30, 2025.
The arrests follow investigations into the deaths of two taxi drivers at Sakaman Blue Lagoon on May 9 and June 15, 2025. Police say the suspects contacted the victims before the attacks.
The Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the CID led the investigation, using intelligence and surveillance to track down the suspects.
Police say efforts are being made to recover the vehicles of the murdered drivers.
The CID assured the public that investigations are still ongoing and promised to provide updates as new information emerges.
