The acting chief of Amomole and head of the Okortsoshishi family at James Town, Accra, has appealed to the government, the clergy, and the chiefs to do something drastic to stop the excessive gambling and betting of the youth.
He said it was not uncom¬mon to see the numerous gaming and gambling centres, full to the brim by the idle youth and students. It could destroy their future, he said.
Nii Ashittey Tetteh made the appeal last Saturday during the celebration of the Homowo festival by the Okort¬soshishi families from both home and abroad.
He said this gambling addict could be minimised or eliminated if government pro¬vided these idle youths with employable and self-sustaining jobs.
“Some use their school fees to gamble,” he lamented.
Nii Ashittey Tetteh said such family gathering during the Homowo celebrations, presented a perfect oppor¬tunity to talk to the youth about the dangers of gambling and other vices like stealing, engaging in drugs, prostitution and other social vices.
He said the Homowo festi¬val is not only about feasting and merry making, but also a rallying point to teach them centuries-old traditions and customs of the Ga people who migrated from Notsie in Togo to settle in Ghana.
He said the Homowo fes¬tival was a sacred event as preparations towards its cele¬bration included the teaching of chastity, housekeeping and general hygiene of young girls before they married.
The young boys he said, were taught honesty, hard work, courtship traditions and customs before they were ushered into marriage.
The acting Ga-Mantse (Ge Tiega) in Togo, Asafoatse Bebe-Foli Kangni Mathias who led a delegation of Ga-Adang¬be people from Togo, was honoured by the Okortsoshishi family.
He was presented with a citation, a stool, a walk¬ing stick and other gifts for promoting unity between the Ga- Adangbe people and that of Togo for several years.
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.
