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.

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.
