Control your libido – Chief warns unscrupulous men
Togbe Vudze IV, Divisional Chief of Taviefe Deme-Dreme near Ho in the Volta Region has made girl-child education his topmost priority.
But has warned to deal decisively with unscrupulous men who would impregnate underage girls in his area of authority.
He has again given the assurance to commit resources to girl-child education and said he would, therefore, not stand aloof for men who could not control their sex drive or libido to spoil the future of these school girls.
“For us to make progress as a people, we must all be law-abiding. That means we will always uphold the peace and unity among us as well as our neighbours for development to take place smoothly and rapidly” he said.
The Kasoa-based entrepreneur, known in private life as Harrison Kofi Agbefordo, in his maiden encounter with journalists in the New Year, said that health and sanitation issues, as well as education would be among his priorities.
The New Year celebration at Taviefe Deme-Sreme, which took a carnival note coincided with the coronation of Togbe Vudze IV.
The divisional chief, who is 52 years and father of 12, gave an assurance that land would be made readily available to all investors who were interested in establishing businesses at Taviefe Deme-Sreme.
According to him, the traditional authorities would definitely support investors in various ways to ensure the success of their industries in the area.
He vowed to work hand-in-hand with the security agencies to ensure that law and order prevailed in the area always.
Togbe Vudze entreated all and sundry in the town to get vaccinated against COVID-19, “because we all need to be healthy to achieve our development goals.”

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.
