As part of this year’s International Women’s Day celebration, the Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM) donated to the Adabraka Polyclinic on March 8, 2024.
A delegation from the Bank, led by the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) responsible for Finance and Administration, Mrs. Nana Akyaa Obeng-Adiyiah donated a variety of items including detergents, mob brooms and brushes, bedsheets and provisions worth GHC20,000 plus a cash amount of GHC 12,000.
The items donated to the female ward of the hospital, forms part of the bank’s corporate social investment drive to invest in the community it operates within and for human capital development within those communities.
Presenting the items, Mrs. Nana Akyaa Obeng-Adiyiah stated that the essence of the donation is to give back to the communities in which the Bank operates and indicated the donation was specifically to support the female ward because of the International Women’s Day celebration.
According to Nana Akyea ‘’ these items will go a long way to help the hospital take good care of the many people who are on admission especially women who are vulnerable in society’’
Receiving the items, the Medical Superintendent Officer and Senior Staff of the Polyclinic, Dr. Abdul Razark Quao on behalf of the management of the Polyclinic expressed his sincere gratitude to the Bank for the donation and further appealed for support from the Bank in the construction of a maternity theatre.
He stated that “the Polyclinic is currently constructing a maternity theatre to help reduce the maternal mortality rate in the Adabraka area.
“We will be grateful to get some support from the Bank to ensure we get through with this project which will save a lot of lives,” he said.
GEXIM has over the years made a great contribution in the health sector by supporting several health facilities, with the recent one being a donation to the Greater Accra Regional Hospital during the coronavirus pandemic era.
In addition, the Bank has provided funding for several pharmaceutical companies in a bid to contribute to the development of the country’s health sector.
Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
