Ghana’s leading import and supplier of fertilisers, BH-Fertagro has donated fertiliser and other items to the Nsawam Prison.
The donation worth GHȻ70, 000 included over 150 bags of NPK fertilisers for their current 47-acre land project, toiletries for staff, over 600 bags of sachet water and 25 boxes of soap.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Nsawam prisons, the Assistant Director of Prisons, Mr Andrews Osei, thanked the company for the kind gesture, stating that the facility really needed support especially in the area of agriculture to support the government in feeding.
He also mentioned that the donation had come in time especially with the current farming project they were about to embark on, adding that the gesture would also encourage others to come to their aid.
The Managing Director of the fertiliser company, Mr Robert Ayittey, who presented the items expressed the joy of the company in doing such, owing to the good work the prison service was doing for the country.
He added that the gesture was part of the Corporate Social Responsibility of BH-Fertago hence supporting the Ghana prisons to improve upon their agriculture activities.
The General Manager of the company, Mr Alex Kwame Donyinah, also emphasised the company’s commitment in giving back to society.
He stated that the company was quite impressed with the work of Ghana Prisons towards human development despite challenges the facility was facing in feeding the inmates.
“We are hopeful that the fertiliser will help them increase their yield, expand their cultivation in order to have enough food to feed the inmates and alleviate the feeding challenges,” he added.
Last year during the Akosombo spillage, the fertilizer company presented over GHȻ 100,000 worth of relief items to the people of Mepe, Battor, Sogakope and its environs.

Abu Trica’s extradition case: Prophets, fetish priests demand pay for spiritual solution …Lawyer reveals
Mr Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a lawyer for embattled Frederick Kumi, affectionately called Abu Trica and has made a shocking revelation over the behaviour of some members of the clergy.
According to him in a post on social media, the difficult part of Abu Trica’s trial is not the law but the number of ‘Men of God’ and fetish priests demanding financial sacrifices to help resolve the matter spiritually.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2026, “The most difficult part about the Abu Trica case; is not the law.”
He continued: “It is the number of, prophetesses, evangelists and fetish priests, who have called or messaged to ask us to pay for spiritual solutions.”
It would be recalled that in March this year, the Gbese District Court dismissed a preliminary objection filed by Abu Trica, challenging the extradition proceedings initiated at the request of the United States.
The court, presided over by Anna Akosua Appiah Gottfried Anaafi Gyasi, in its ruling held that the offences forming the basis of the extradition, particularly wire fraud, constitute extraditable offences under the 1931 treaty between Ghana and the United States.
He was then given 15 days counting from March 27 to appeal the decision of the court or be surrendered for extradition to the US.
Against this backdrop, he was on Tuesday, April 22, granted a bail in the sum of GH¢30,000,000 by an Accra High, pending the appeal of his extradition
Mr Kumi was arrested in Ghana in December 2025 following an indictment by United States authorities, alleging that he played a role in a romance scam network that defrauded elderly American victims of more than $8 million.
