The East Legon branch of KABFAM Ghana was filled with excitement but mixed with shock during a short presentation ceremony held for winners of KABFAM GMA-UK “Buy and Fly to London” promotion.
The promotion was intended to select five winners and reward them with products and fly the ultimate winner and the partner to London to watch this Year’s Ghana Music Awards-UK in October.
The presentation ceremony saw KABFAM Ambassador, Mr.Mikki Osei Berko present various prizes to the lucky winners on Tuesday.
The ultimate winner, Police Constable, Richard Morgan Adjetey was presented with documents to facilitate his trip to the United Kingdom to watch Ghana Music Awards UK live in London with his wife.
The first runner-up, Ms.Jacqueline Dufu, received a table top fridge, whereas the third prize which was a 32 inch NASCO LED television went to Ms.Stella Asiedu.
Glad Adongo and Isaac Nsobila who emerged fourth and fifth respectively took home Toshiba microwaves.
Speaking at the ceremony on Tuesday, Brand Ambassador of KABFAM, Mr. Osei Berko said, out of thousands of entries received from about 12 branches, the five emerged winners of the promotion after a live draw.
He revealed that more promotions would be introduced before the end of the year, and called on customers to be on the look out.
The ultimate winner, Constable Morgan said that he was skeptical upon hearing he had won a trip to the UK.
“Initially, I didn’t believe, I thought it was one of those things, however It later turned out to be true when I heard the voice of Mikki Osei Berko in a telephone call,” he said.
Against this backdrop,all the winners expressed their appreciation to KABFAM for redeeming their promise to customers and urged others to fully participate in the upcoming ones.
KABFAM is the main sponsor of this year’s GMA-UK event powered by Allordia Promotion in partnership with Westcoast slated for October to reward deserving Ghanaian Musicians.

Ghana’s comedy industry would take centre stage today, when the sixth edition of the Ghana Comedy Awards is held at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ridge, Accra.
The event, which has become the country’s premier platform for recognising excellence in comedy since it rebranded from the Comedy and Poetry Awards, would celebrate comedians whose performances and contributions stood out between January 1 and December 31, 2025. 
This year’s ceremony would begin with a red-carpet session at 7:00 p.m., followed by the main awards event at 8:30 p.m.
Organisers have promised an evening of entertainment featuring some of Ghana’s foremost comedy talents, including Lekzy, Jeneral Ntatia, Kojo PJay, Oh Joo, Alo Wess, Ranzy Ray and Jerry Ashinyo.
Musical performances are also expected to complement the comedy acts.
Media personality Kwame Dadzie would play host for the event, which is expected to attract comedians, entertainers and fans from across the country.
Tickets for the awards are selling at GH¢200 for the silver package and GH¢300 for Gold.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
