FC Samartex 1996 triumphed over Aduana Stars on Monday to extend their lead at the Ghana Premier League summit to a commanding five-points.
The Sameraboi lads went into the game hoping to keep hold of the top spot following their dominance in the first round of the season. FC Samartex scored two quick fire goals in the first-half to claim the points at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park.
Former Skyy FC forward Baba Hamadu Musa opened the scoring in the 8th minute after latching on to a well-taken free kick by Adu Siaw for his seventh goal of the campaign.
Emmanuel Keyekeh doubled the lead with an absolute belter in the 25th minute after receiving a pass from Baba Musa on the edge of the box.
After the break, Sampson Cobbinah reduced the deficit in the 75th minute but that was enough to rescue a point for the two-time champions as FC Samartex held on to win at Dormaa.
The win leaves FC Samartex atop the Premier League standings with 35 points – 5 points ahead of Aduana FC and Nsoatreman FC who are 2nd and 3rd on the table.
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.
