In the movie, crime is getting out of control in a country in Africa and for this reason, some people are determined to fight back, explore the underworld in Accra, a city gulped by a story of murder, kidnapping, corruption and a fight for justice.
In ‘The Storm’ Accra is suffering devastatingly from the criminal activities of gangsters with on two, Detective Danso (Adjetey Anang) and Detective Lynn (Ama K. Abebrese) as the only two honest members of the law enforcement team.
Committed to trumpeting the ills of the society, Milly (Luckie Lawson) takes up a crucial social advocacy role to help the protection of youngsters against crime.
Unfortunately, the lives of these characters are dramatically affected by the brutal killing of a teenage boy, the kidnapping and murder of three young women, one of which was Milly’s niece.
Subsequently, the narrative switches as Danso and Milly take the centre stage and try hard to brazenly combat crime and corruption in their city.
Detective Danso is determined to find those responsible for the death of the teenager, assisted by sensible and methodical Detective Lynn and often coming into conflict with the Deputy Superintendent of Police, legendary actor, Edinam Atatsi.
Against this backdrop, Milly campaigns for the government to take action against criminals and becomes a celebrity, appearing on television and later rivaling the country’s President, Edward Agyekum Kufuor.
Will Milly survive on this critical life-changing journey as she meets President Edward Kufuor mano a mano in an enraged political atmosphere?
An essential question for patrons of the premiere to find an answer to in this thriller.
The Storm features Ama K. Abebrese, Adjetey Anang, Fiifi Coleman, Samini, Salma Mumin, Edward Agyakum Kuffuor, Edinam Atatsi and Luckie Lawson among others.
Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.

Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats singer Kuami Eugene Marfo known in showbiz circles as Kuami Eugene has urged fellow musicians and entertainers to use their influence on social media and other platforms to champion causes that positively impact society.
The award-winning artiste made the call during a UNICEF Ghana birth registration advocacy campaign in Bepoase in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, where he joined officials from UNICEF Ghana and the Births and Deaths Registry to raise awareness about the importance of registering children at birth.
He explained that artistes wield significant influence and should leverage platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram to amplify important social initiatives and encourage behavioural change.
The musician, who has partnered UNICEF Ghana on several child-focused campaigns, said he had a special interest in issues affecting children and was committed to supporting efforts that improved their welfare and future opportunities.
He noted that birth registration was critical because it established a child’s legal identity and ensured recognition as a Ghanaian citizen.
The advocacy drive forms part of UNICEF Ghana’s efforts to improve birth registration rates across the country through community engagements, public education and collaboration with traditional authorities.
The musician said he remained focused on creating quality music while continuing to support social causes that contribute to national development, particularly initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children. –GNA
