The Black Starlets zoomed off to a brilliant start with an incredible 5-1 win over Ivory Coast in the opening game of the 2024 WAFU Zone B U17 Championship.
A brace from Joseph Narbi in the first half set the tone for what turned a demolition exercise for the Black Starlets.
Godfred Srapong, Harve Gbafa and Mark Kagawa each registered a goal in the second half to crown a magnificent afternoon for Ghana.
Laryea Kingston’s side did not only amaze the fans with excitement but also set the stadium ablaze with blistering display and incredible goals.
After twenty-seven minutes of exhilarating exchanges, Joseph Narbi shot Ghana in front with a beautiful volley after connecting nicely to a pass from Mark Kagawa.
Narbi doubled Ghana’s lead with a personal brace firing home a blistering finish from a rebound with three minutes to the break.
Ghana went into the break with heads high expecting to press on in the second half to crown a perfect start to the tournament.
The Black Starlets continued from where they left off with Godfred Sarpong adding to Ghana’s goal tally with a perfect volley moments after the break.
Ivory Coast fought back to reduce the tally few moments after Ghana’s third but that was not to last as Harve Gbafa headed home Ghana’s 4th goal from a Benjamin Tsevanyo corner kick to maintain the three-goal lead.
Mark Kagawa sealed off a wonderful day for Ghana after driving home a magnificent curler to wrap up a perfect start for Ghana.
Ghana’s chances of qualifying to the next stage of the competition look brighter with the 5-1 win over Ivory Coast in the opener.
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.
