The 2004 year group of the Apam Senior High School Old Students Association (ASSOSA 2004) recently hosted a much-anticipated “Party in the Park” at the American International School sports complex in Accra, bringing together alumni from all year groups for a fraternal gathering.
The event was filled with energy, nostalgia, and excitement as former students reconnected and celebrated the strong bonds that continue to unite them even after leaving their alma mater.
The park buzzed with life as members from various year groups took part in a wide range of fun activities, starting with a health screening and an all-inclusive aerobics session led by Dr Sammed Pedro from Direct Care Australia.
The Class of 2006 won the football competition, defeating the Class of 2004 by a score of 3-1 before edging out the 2003 year group 3-2 on penalties.
The 2004 year group atoned for their loss to 2006 in the football match by defeating them in straight sets to win the tug-of-war event.
In the male orange-picking competition, Oliver Osei Abosi (2004) took first place, with Benjamin Adjei (2017) coming in second and Kwabena Amo (2004) placing third. In the female category, Davina Hawkins (2007) took first place, followed by Nana Ama Amissah (2007) and Lilian Nyande (2003).
Pastor Isaac Asiedu (2004) won the male lime-and-spoon competition, with Arnold Torgbor (2007) and Samuel Adu Boahene (2017) following. Rhoda Owusua (2017) won the female category, leaving Evelyn Essel-Cobbah (2004) and Tessa Djanie (2003) in second and third place, respectively.
Tessa Djanie (2003) defeated Love Joyce (2006) to win the Ludo competition. The draughts title went to Mr Akyea (1996), who defeated Alfred Baiden (2004). In playing cards, Obed Bismark Neequaye (2006) defeated Frederick Cobbinah Mensah (2006) in the finals. The gari soakings competition was won by Jonathan Effah Owusu (2007), with Lord Bentus (2005) coming in second. The 2004 ladies defeated their school sisters from 2003 to win the ladies’ penalty kicks.
In recognition of their efforts and the talents they displayed, the winners received medals, adding an extra layer of pride and motivation.
The day was graced by the ASSOSA National President, Mr Akwasi Addae-Boahene, along with several other prominent executives from ASSOSA National and other alumni. Their presence highlighted the importance of the event in fostering unity and keeping the spirit of Apam SHS alive across generations.
President of ASSOSA 2004, Mr Richard Amohs Asante, in his remarks, noted that the “Party in the Park” is more than just fun and games. “It’s a testament to the enduring connections among old students of Apam Senior High School,” he said.
He thanked all ASSOSA 2004 year group members for their commitment, as well as all year groups for their support in making the day a huge success. He also called on ASSOSA National to consider adopting the event and taking it to the next level.
As the day ended, attendees enjoyed a karaoke session, wined, dined, and danced their hearts out to old tunes from yesteryear.
“The Legacy Project is not merely about brick and mortar, it is a symbol, a bridge between generations,” he said.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested a man suspected of running a romance scam that targeted women with false marriage promises, blackmail, and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
The suspect, Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng, was arraigned alongside Sally Akosua Amoasah before the Accra Circuit Court 1 on charges of conspiracy to commit crime, defrauding by false pretences, and non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
According to preliminary investigations, Kwarteng posed as a pastor conducting online church services on Instagram. He allegedly told women that “God had revealed” they were his future wives.
To gain their trust, police say he went as far as meeting their families and presenting them with promise rings.
Investigators allege the suspect then obtained intimate images of some victims and used them to blackmail them for money.
He is also accused of introducing victims to a fake car tyre business. Under the pretext of shipping and clearing containers of tyres, he allegedly collected thousands of dollars from them before becoming unreachable.
Police further allege that Kwarteng shared the intimate images of some victims with his wife, Sally Akosua Amoasah, who is also accused of threatening the victims.
Seven victims have so far reported the matter to the Police. Investigations indicate the offences date back to 2021.
The court remanded Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng into Police custody to reappear on August 6, 2026. Sally Akosua Amoasah was granted bail.
The Ghana Police Service says it continues to receive complaints from other possible victims.
The Service is urging anyone who may have had similar encounters with the suspect to report to the nearest Police station to assist with ongoing investigations.

Ghana’s tourism industry is in mourning following the sudden death of Prince Anthony Bart-Appiah, a pioneering figure credited with helping to reconnect the African diaspora to the continent.
Prince Anthony passed away in the early hours of Saturday, July 26, 2026, at his private residence in Spintex, Accra.
He was instrumental in the development and promotion of “The Year of Return,” the flagship tourism campaign that invited members of the African diaspora to return to Ghana in 2019.
The initiative is widely regarded as a turning point that boosted Ghana’s tourism numbers and strengthened cultural ties with Black communities across the world.
Beyond his work with the GTA, Prince Anthony was the Chief Exexutive Officer (CEO) of Bridgezone, an agency dedicated to showcasing Africa to Western audiences and fostering cultural and business connections between the continent and the diaspora.
Colleagues describe him as passionate, strategic, and committed to telling authentic African stories that drive tourism, investment, and pride.
Widely known as Prince Anthony, he served as a Board Member of the Ghana Tourism Authority from 2025 to date.
A former British Army officer and a royal of the Akwamu clan, he brought discipline, vision, and a deep sense of heritage to every role he held
Prince Anthony was also a proud father to two teenagers, whom he deeply cherished.
In a statement, the *Ghana Tourism Authority extended its heartfelt condolences to the grieving family, friends, and all sympathizers.
“The tourism industry has lost a pioneering figure and a vital link to the diasporan community,” the statement read.
The statement further added that “We pray for strength for the family during this difficult time.”
Tributes have since poured in from tourism stakeholders, creatives, and diasporan groups who say Prince Anthony’s legacy will continue to shape how the world sees and experiences Ghana.
