Aerobics for healthy lifestyle
The Ghana Prisons Service (GPS) has held a health walk for senior officers of the service in Accra.
It was aimed at encouraging officers to consciously make the effort to exercise, have a healthy lifestyle and promote wellness.
The 100kilometre walk, under the auspices of the Senior Officers’ Mess Committee, saw the officers walk on the principal streets of Accra as a means of maintaining and boosting cardiovascular health.
Organised for senior officers in Accra, it drew participants from the Senior Correctional Centre, Ghana Prisons Headquarters, James Camp Prisons and Prison Officers Training School.
The senior correctional officers after the walk, converged on the Ghana Prisons Headquarters to engage in aerobic exercises to keep the body in good shape.
Participants also engaged in a series of activities including a basketball tournament after the aerobics session.
In an interview with the Deputy Director of Prisons, Nathaniel Onyinah, President of the Senior Officers Mess Committee, he underscored the need for the health walk which he classified as a necessity to keep fit and promote healthy lifestyles.
He said it was prudent for officers to involve themselves in such activities since they are usually spiced with activities that have the tendency to prevent some lifestyle diseases including blood pressure and diabetes.
According to him, the health walk was an avenue to strengthen the unity among the senior officers to boost the administrative work of the service.
DDP Onyinah said the committee was committed to contribute its quota in creating an enabling environment for officers to have fun-filled activities to boost their health and wellness.
The Director of Prisons in-charge of Services, Mrs Patience Baffoe-Bonnie (Esq.), commended the Mess Committee for organising the event.
“This would reduce stress levels of officers and it would be very important to organise it more often,” she stressed.
Superintendent Sharon Ampomah, who was enthused about the health walk called for more of such fascinating events to maintain unity among senior officers.
The event was interspersed with a dance competition among past cadet course intakes and networking among officers to build a formidable relationship for the efficient running of the service.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
