The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has extended its heartfelt condolences to the wife of the late Black Stars fitness trainer, Ricky Roy, following his untimely passing after a brief illness.
A delegation from the GFA, led by Director of Marketing Jamil Maraby, paid a visit to the grieving widow to offer their sympathies and support during this difficult time.
Among the members of the delegation were prominent figures from the Black Stars team, including team manager Ameenu Shardow, goalkeeper’s trainer Fatau Dauda, Communications Director Henry Asante Twum, and Physiotherapist Samuel Kwame Ankomah, among others.
Ricky Roy’s sudden demise has left a void in the football community, with his contributions to the Black Stars and his dedication to fitness training deeply cherished and remembered by all who had the privilege of working with him.
During the visit, the delegation expressed their condolences to the widow and shared words of encouragement and support to help her through the grieving process. The widow’s family, in turn, informed the delegation that details regarding the one-week commemoration would be announced at a later date.
As the football fraternity mourns the loss of Ricky Roy, his memory will continue to live on through the indelible mark he left on Ghanaian football, and his legacy will be forever cherished by all who knew him.
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.
