Fashion and other industry players gathered at the Soho Bar in Accra on the eve of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s birthday, September 20 to launch this year’s ‘Rhythms On Da Runway.’
This year’s event, themed ‘The Aqua Edition,’ marks the 11th version since its inception and seeks to put the spotlight on Sustainable Development Goal Six (SDG-6) – Clean Water and Sanitation.
The main event is scheduled for December 2 at the Accra International Conference Centre in Accra.
As part of this year’s event, three-time Grammy nominees Rocky Dawuni and Morgan Heritage among other personalities would be honoured.
Speaking at the launch, the Creative President of Nineteen57 Events stated, “As we delve into ‘The Aqua Edition,’ we are reminded of the profound impact our actions have on our planet and future generations.”
Mr.Okyere Darko said that safeguarding these invaluable biodiversity havens is their sacred duty, not just for the children but for the entire world to inherit their beauty and life.
The Producer and Director for the event, Yvonne Ocloo, noted that this year’s edition was set to be a vibrant celebration of Africa’s diverse cultural heritage which is aimed at seeking to unite communities and recognise the committed individuals and organizations assiduously promoting Africa globally.
Madam Ocloo stressed the event’s social responsibility aspect, shedding light on two critical concerns: the illegal mining crisis in Ghana’s Atiwa Forest and the environmental repercussions of discarding second-hand clothing into our oceans.
Notable personalities who graced the event included the Inspector General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer of Equity Health Insurance, Elton Afari, Chief Executive Officer of the McDan Group of Companies Daniel McKorley, the Chief Executive Officer of Wembley Sports Limited, Robert Coleman, Managing Director of Reiss & Co, Jeff Sowa, and many other special guests.

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested a man believed to be behind a series of robberies and killings of taxi drivers in the Greater Accra Region.
According to a statement from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the suspect, Peter Akakpo, also known as “Dompe,” was arrested on October 13, 2025, at Kasoa-Domeabra.
Police say he is an ex-convict and is believed to have worked with another suspect, Vincent Gbetorglo, who was arrested earlier on June 30, 2025.
The arrests follow investigations into the deaths of two taxi drivers at Sakaman Blue Lagoon on May 9 and June 15, 2025. Police say the suspects contacted the victims before the attacks.
The Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the CID led the investigation, using intelligence and surveillance to track down the suspects.
Police say efforts are being made to recover the vehicles of the murdered drivers.
The CID assured the public that investigations are still ongoing and promised to provide updates as new information emerges.
