Akoefe Tokor residents mark 10th anniversary of Togbe Dosor with fundraising exercise
Residents of Akoefe Tokor in the Ho Municipality last weekend celebrated the 10th anniversary of the chief of the town, Gligbafia Togbe Kakla Akoe Dosor, with an impressive durbar that saw the inhabitants commit to the chief’s developmental projects.
Faced with numerous challenges in the area, the residents momentarily abandoned the celebration and merry-making, channelling their energies into a special fundraising exercise to support the projects.
Amidst some rich borborbor and zigi dance moves and displays from an ‘asafo’ group, the area was thrown into frenzy with the Development Chief of Akoefe Tokor, Dumega Deti Kwawuvi, leading the celebration and an intense fundraising.
The original plan was for the inauguration of a water system, the first of many projects promised by the chief and his elders.
Togbe Kakla Akoe Dosor needed a total of GH₵631,466.00 to complete five of the mechanised water systems he initiated.
At the end of the exercise, over GH₵32,000 was realised to support of the project.
Togbe Kakla Akoe Dosor thanked the citizens for the support for the past 10 years, making it possible for him to make progress in the community.
The Development Chief, Dumega Deti Kwawuvi, said the completion of the GH₵210, 488.00 mechanised water system for the population of 2,213 people was not adequate but showed the chief’s commitment to improve the living conditions of the people.
The Agbonugla of Akoefe Tokor, Kofisa Fiagbor said the Gligbafia Togbe Kakla Akoe Dosor has also built a library, computer laboratory for the basic school and a community information centre for the town.

Star Oil serves final demand notice to Goshers
Lawyers of Star Oil have issued final demand notice to social media user Benjamin Kojo Mensah, popularly known as Goshers, demanding GHS 20 million in damages for defamation.
The company said in a statement that a demand notice was served on Mr. Mensah on Friday morning, but it expired at the close of day on Saturday without compliance.
As a result, Star Oil instructed its lawyers, Lex Vanem & Associates, to proceed to issue a final demand noticd for retraction and rendering of unqualified apology.
The added that, the company will proceed to court should Goshers fail to comply with the directive.
According to the lawyers, Mr. Mensah posted on Facebook on September 3, 2025, alleging that he had been cheated after buying fuel at Star Oil’s Anyinase station near Elubo.
He wrote, “I feel cheated by Star Oil this morning,” and attached a crying emoji and a video.
The company described the post as defamatory, unfounded, and malicious.
It said the post had gained wide attention, with more than 2,000 likes, over 264 comments, at least 30 shares, and more than 58,000 views by the following morning.
The same content was also uploaded on YouTube.
Star Oil noted that its team reached out to Mr. Mensah to understand his concerns but insisted that the claims damaged its reputation.
The company stressed that it had built its brand over the past 27 years to become the largest distributor of petroleum products in Ghana and would not allow social media to be used to tarnish its image.
The company also urged customers who feel cheated or encounter poor service to use Star Oil’s official hotlines or the National Petroleum Authority’s Consumer Protection Service to lodge complaints, saying these were the proper channels for redress.
