Christ Apostolic Church rallies support for Green Ghana initiative
The General Secretary of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) International, Apostle Samuel Amponsah Frimpong has advocated for Ghanaians to accept the Green Ghana initiative to mitigate desertification effect on the Country.
Desertification he said has become a challenge in the West African Sub-region and that, there was the need to confront it by planting trees which will bring shade and make Ghana beautiful.
Apostle Frimpong made the call at a tree planting exercise organized by the Church to mark the second edition of the Green Ghana Day at the Anim Retreat Center (ARC), a 300-acre land acquired by the Church at Ofarkor near Kasoa in the Central region on Friday,
Apostle Frimpong in a remark, indicated that God saw the significance oftree in the lives of mankind and so he himself planted the garden of Eden and placed man in it for his comfort.
He expressed appreciation to President Nana Akufo-Addo for initiating this special programme and that, “as a Church we believe that our collaboration with the government will always yield the positive result and at this particular instance, it is the best for the nation”.
Apostle Frimpong said the CACI has an obligation towards the government and the nation and for that reason will always collaborate with the government in power on her social initiatives that are beneficial to the nation.
He said the Church was planting about 500,000 seedlings nationwide to complement government’s effort in greening Ghana to fight desertification and climate change.
“When this is done there would be food security in the nation as well as protecting the water bodies with a healthy environment thereby curbing epidemics,” he indicated.
Apostle Frimpong pointed out that, the Anim Retreat Center (ARC) which is being developed as the convention center of the Church will include educational and health facilities and Seminary for the various leaderships in the Church.
Others are a prayer center, Campus for the Christ Apostolic University College and a 5000 capacity conference hall among others.
He admonished all and sundry that, the good future of Ghana that everybody is looking for can only be achieved when everybody puts his hands on deck and work together as one people and does the right thing.
The President, Nana Akufo-Addo lunched the second edition of the Green Ghana Day to plant 20 million trees on 1st March 2022 this year as the government’s aggressive afforestation and reforestation programme to mitigate deforestation and climate change effects on the Country.
Apostle Frimpong was accompanied by Apostle Benjamin Ahenful Accra West Territorial Apostle and some Pastors and members of the Church.

Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
