Hearts, Kotoko go on revenge mission
Defending champions Hearts Of Oak will be hunting for a win when they welcome Medeama SC to the Accra Sports Stadium today to honour their match day 23 fixture of the Ghana Premier League (GPL).
The Phobians picked a vital point in mid-week against Berekum Chelsea in a 1-1 draw, a result which leaves their title hopes in ‘limbo’ but could also fancy their chances and stage revenge, having lost 1-0 to Medeama in the first leg.
On Suday, League leaders Asante Kotoko will face rivals King Faisal in the Kumasi derby at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. The Porcupine Warriors were shocked to the marrow with their first 3-2 defeat in the first round.
Gaffer Nurudeen Amadu and his charges are poised to record a double over Kotoko but a more determined and resilient Kotoko can outshine King Faisal.
Relegation-threatened Gold Stars will host Dreams at the Dun’s Park tomorrow. The debutants have been one of the inconsistent side and will hope to improve on their output.
Spirited Legon Cities will lock horns with Ashantigold at the El-Wak Sports on Sunday. Both sides have been in recent fine form and will be eager to continue.

WAFA have managed just a win in their last seven games and a victory could secure them a good spot on the table.

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested a man believed to be behind a series of robberies and killings of taxi drivers in the Greater Accra Region.
According to a statement from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the suspect, Peter Akakpo, also known as “Dompe,” was arrested on October 13, 2025, at Kasoa-Domeabra.
Police say he is an ex-convict and is believed to have worked with another suspect, Vincent Gbetorglo, who was arrested earlier on June 30, 2025.
The arrests follow investigations into the deaths of two taxi drivers at Sakaman Blue Lagoon on May 9 and June 15, 2025. Police say the suspects contacted the victims before the attacks.
The Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the CID led the investigation, using intelligence and surveillance to track down the suspects.
