Renowned Ghanaian artiste Samini has urged the Black Stars to ‘go for a kill’ when they face off with Mozambique on Monday in their final Group B match of the ongoing African Cup of Nations(AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
The celebrated reggae, highlife and dancehall great who is currently in Abidjan to support the team said, after losing and drawing the first two games, it was only vital to go for a win this time.
“It is not an easy position to be in now as a team, but I will urge the Black Stars to keep their heads up,be focused and go for a kill after losing and drawing the first games,” he stated.
He added that, it was becoming more difficult to sit at home and watch so he thought it would be better to be in Abidjan in person to add his energy to Ghana’s last group game.
“So that if we are lucky,we get a win and stay in the competition because it would not be good to go home like this.So I am here to add my energy to the last energy that is left so that we see what happens,” he stressed.
“In our last game, we gave goals away for free but if we are able to hold tight and not make such mistakes, we can win 2-0 against Mozambique,” he predicted.
Samini joined some over 150 Ghanaian supporters fully sponsored by telecommunications giants MTN to Ivory Coast to support the Black Stars.
MTN over the years, had been one of the major sponsors of the Black Stars, extending their commitment to ensuring that fans were present at international competitions to support the team.
The outfit supported several Ghanaians to cheer the Black Stars at the last World Cup in Qatar and now, the AFCON in Ivory Coast and committed to sustaining their sponsorship in subsequent competitions.

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.
