Hearts of Oak were beaten 1-0 by Accra Lions in the Ghana Premier League at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday, with Ibrahim Issah’s second-half strike proving decisive.
Despite getting close through Linda Mtange, Salim Adams, Hamza Issah and Dennis Korsah, it was the visitors who emerged victorious in the capital derby.
Accra Lions defended resolutely to protect their slender advantage to secure victory at the Accra Sports stadium.
The Phobians have now lost back-to-back after they lost 2-0 at Legon Cities last time.
The host got off to a bright start after Linda Mtage and Salim Adams tested the visitors’ defence in the early minutes.
Adams later forced a strong save from Accra Lions’ goalkeeper with a powerful freekick right at the edge of the box.
Accra Lions quickly recovered from their slow start, taking charge of the game with a flurry of attack with Dominic Amponsah almost opening the scoring following a swift play from the left.
After the break, Blessing Asuman almost broke the deadlock after he was sent through by Mohammed Shawkan.
The visitors dominated the early exchanges and Amponsah almost broke the deadlock before a swift counter saw Accra Lions opening the scoring.
Awuni blistered his way from the right before finding Yahaya Mohammed, who cut in for Issa for the opener.
Yahaya should have made it 2-0 following a one-on-one with Hearts of Oak’s goalkeeper but his chip went inches wide.
Hearts of Oak created late chances with Hamza Issah and Dennis Korsah coming close but it was too late to salvage a point.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
