Christians all over the world have commemorated Palm Sunday, a day that marked the beginning of the holy week on the Christian calendar.
Palm Sunday which is celebrated on the 24th March, is very significant in the lives of Christians as it signifies the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.

As part of this year’s Palm Sunday commemoration, members of the St Sylvanus Catholic church, Pokuase, as well as Pupils and teachers of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School at New Bortianor in the Ga South municipality also joined the procession, holding palm branches amidst singing and dancing. 
It has been christened ‘palm Sunday ‘ because according to the bible, the people of Jerusalem placed palm fronds in Jesus’s path while cheering and shouting hosanna.
While celebrating the joy that comes the day, some users recollected memories of how Christ was betrayed.
The honoring of the Palm Sunday also marked the starting of the holy week. The most sacred week of Christian year includes Good Friday, re- enactment of Jesus’ crucifixion story and the belief in his resurrection on Easter.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
