JOYTON KASKY Foundation donates to orphans
The JOYTON KASKY Foundation has donated food items and clothing worth GHc 6,700 to 34 inmates of the Christian Village Orphanage based in Akwadum, a suburb of Koforidua in the New Juaben North Constituency of the Eastern Region.
The occasion coincided with the third anniversary of the establishment of the Foundation.
Among the items were children’s clothing and footwear, bags of rice, some gallons of vegetable oil, soft drinks,key soap, and bags of sachet water.
Madam Joyce Osei Owusu, Vice President of the Foundation who made the donation on behalf of the group, explained that the gesture was in line with the spirit of Christmas which focused on God’s great gift to humanity through the birth of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ who ultimately became a sacrifice to save humanity from sin.
She said that act of great love by God continued to motivate JOYTON KASKY to also sacrifice its meagre resources to help alleviate the suffering of vulnerable people like orphans, prisoners, and widows.
Madam Osei Owusu appealed to corporate bodies, churches, philanthropists, and well-meaning people to assist the Foundation to sink a borehole for the orphanage which the institution listed as its priority need.
Madam Edith Ahama, Deputy Administrator of the home, mentioned lack of stationery, school uniforms, and sponsorship for continuing students who passed out of the home and were eager to continue their education as some of the problems they faced.
Receiving the donation, Madam Janet Amankwah, a mother of the home thanked the Foundation for making the Christmas season memorable once again for the children just as the group did last year, too. She promised to ensure fair distribution of the items to the children.
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.
