Royal Queens Group, Golokwati holds get-together
The Royal Queens Group of Golokwati in the Afadjato South District of the Volta Region has recently held its general meeting and get-together at the Kas Valley Restaurant, Oyibi near Accra.
The meeting which was aimed at fostering unity, peace and love among members was attended by members with diverse professional backgrounds.
The Guest of Honour, Evangelist Doris Aku Djigbodi Cudjo, admonished the women to strive hard to become instruments of love, peace, joy, faithfulness, kindness, and gentleness among others.
She emphasised that these virtues were essential because women were responsible for raising the family of God’s children, and since the family formed the foundation of a good community, they must not shirk in their responsibilities.
The President of the group, Madam Hilda Hubert, encouraged members to wait patiently for God’s appointed time in their lives, while working hard to support their homes and take care of their children and of themselves.
The Chairperson for the programme, Mrs Eva Dziedzorm Azah, also a member, graciously supported the group with a donation and advised her colleagues to uphold the values of the association by carrying themselves out in dignity, and live in unity with all manner of people.
The group’s objectives include promoting love and unity among members, lending support to all in diverse ways and ensuring peaceful coexistence in their communities.
Activities such as dynasty dancing, socialisation, playing of ampe and other fun-filled events made the day a memorable one.

A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour by the Bekwai Circuit Court for his role in a 2022 robbery at a mining site at Manso Akwasiso in the Ashanti South Region.
The convict, Dominic Ofori, also known as Fanta, was arrested on 16th February 2026 after years on the run. He pleaded guilty before the Bekwai Circuit Court to robbery contrary to Section 149 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 Act 29, and was accordingly sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour.
On March 20, 2022, the Manso Adubia District Police received intelligence that a group of armed men from Manso Abodom were planning to attack a mining site at Manso Akwasiso to rob the owner of gold concentrate. Acting on the information, police mounted a coordinated operation and laid an ambush at the site.
At about 5:30 pm the same day, four-armed men arrived at the site, fired indiscriminately, and robbed the miners of their gold concentrate. The police team on surveillance intervened, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
Three of the suspects, Abu Abubakar, Musah Latif, and Gideon Takyi, sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead on arrival at St Martins Catholic Hospital at Agroyesum. Dominic Ofori escaped at the time but was later arrested and put before the court.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its continued commitment to combating violent crimes and bringing offenders to justice.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested 45-year-old Isaac Boafo, also known as “Duabo King,” for allegedly publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.
Police said the arrest follows a viral TikTok video in which Boafo claimed that four officers at the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in inappropriate conduct with commercial sex workers during night patrols in Asafo.
Officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate (Ashanti Region) apprehended Boafo after receiving intelligence about the video.
During questioning, he admitted to creating the video to attract views and engagement online, and acknowledged that he could not prove the allegations.
Boafo also admitted making comments about the President of the Republic for content purposes and could not defend those statements.
He has been formally charged and is in detention as investigations continue.
The Ashanti Regional Police have warned the public against publishing or sharing false information on social media, noting that such acts can cause fear, panic, and damage reputations.
They said anyone found engaging in similar conduct will face legal action.
