● He dumped the Bible and sought help elsewhere
Church elder who could no longer contain the infidelity of his wife put the Bible aside and sought redress from a river deity instead.
He believed waiting for God to address his issue might delay hence the decision of Mr Moses Grushi also known as Father Moses, to drag his wife before Koteafere, a river deity at Agyirnia near Bibiani in the Western North Region for speedy resolution.
Lo and behold his plan worked like magic as his wife readily confessed having affair with a Deacon in her husband’s church (name withheld).
The culprit was identified as Deacon Emma.
Mr Grushi had for sometime been suspecting his wife of “Conjugal infidelity” but lacked scintilla of evidence to prove his case.
But his decision to consult the river goddess solved this puzzle timeously to his satisfaction.
Speaking to a local radio station here in the presence of The Spectator, Father Moses said he had three children with the wife with the third child being six months old.
He said that the deacon mostly held church service in the evening at about 9:00pm and would invite the wife.
“Anytime he invited my wife, he would ask her if I were around, something that made me suspicious”, he indicated.
According to Father Moses, he was compelled to contact Nana Kwaku Amoah, Chief of Sefwi Brahabebome, who led him to the river goddess.
At the shrine, he stated that he promised the deity a fowl and a sheep if the secret would be revealed.
He said two days after the consultation, the wife’s demeanour changed and she confessed she had been having affair with the deacon.
“If I had told people that the deacon was having an affair with my wife, it would have been difficult to believe, hence I took the decision to consult the deit.
“I did not mean to disgrace him (Deacon), I only wanted the truth of the matter to come out”, he stressed.
Father Moses further said that after the confession, he went back to Nana Kwaku Amoah to fulfill his pledge to the deity.
Nana Kwaku Duah also confirmed the incident saying “Father Moses honoured his promise and he led him again to the shrine to offer the fowl and sheep”.
From Kingsley E. Hope, Kumasi
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy has appealed to the Ministry of Finance to release GH¢5.6 million to the Petroleum Commission to enable it to establish and operate a world-class data centre.
According to the Committee, access to the funds will strengthen the Commission’s capacity to manage critical upstream petroleum data and improve its operations.
Speaking during the appeal, Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, said the move was crucial to efforts to revitalise Ghana’s upstream petroleum industry and increase oil production.
He noted that although investment and hydrocarbon production had declined in recent years, Parliament’s approval of an extension of the petroleum agreement to 2030 had attracted additional funding and contributed to an increase in production from about 80,000 to 120,000 barrels per day.
Meanwhile, concerns have been raised over repeated budget allocations for oil exploration in the Voltaian Basin.
Mr. Bedzrah stressed that funds approved for exploration must produce tangible results, adding that the Committee would require clear evidence of progress before supporting future budget allocations for the programme.
The appeal was made during a working visit to the Petroleum Commission as part of the Committee’s oversight activities to assess its operations and management procedures.
During the engagement, the Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle, took the Committee through the Commission’s working procedures and mandate, which includes regulating, managing and coordinating upstream petroleum activities.
She disclosed that since assuming office in 2025, government had pursued measures to reverse the decline in crude oil production, sustain output and reposition Ghana as an attractive destination for investment in Africa’s increasingly competitive petroleum sector.
In addition, she said government had secured fresh commitments of about US$35 billion to help revitalise the sector.
As part of the oversight exercise, the Committee is expected to conclude its monitoring visit with engagements at the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and the Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL).

“No civilisation deserves to be annihilated” – Mahama calls for dialogue on global conflicts at UNGA 81
President John Dramani Mahama has called for solidarity and dialogue in resolving global conflicts, insisting that no civilisation deserves to be wiped out.
“No human civilisation deserves to be annihilated, certainly not a member state of the United Nations,” President Mahama stated in his address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York.
He called for solidarity with nations facing terrorism, especially the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), and for a uniform approach to conflicts in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
On the Middle East, the President called for a return to negotiations, saying “The current Middle East crisis is having a deleterious effect on the world economy.”
“I believe that dialogue can resolve even the most intractable of problems,” he added.
