A trigger-happy old man has been arrested by the police for allegedly shooting two people at Tsyome Sabadu in the North Dayi District of the Volta Region on Saturday, May 6, 2023.

The suspect, Mr. Bukari Paul, 62, is said to have shot his wife and his brother-in-law whose name was given as Budi but as fate would have, Budi (brother-in-law) died in the process.

A resident of the community told The Spectator that Bukari and his wife had been married with three children but the woman, who is in her early forties, recently decided to quit the marriage due to the abusive and irresponsible conduct of her husband.

According to accounts, the mother of three packed her belongings to go and live with her brother but her husband, Bukari, had been issuing death threats since the wife left the house.

An eye witness said Yaaya (not her real name) and his brother, Budi, were enjoying dinner and having a chat that fateful Saturday when Bukari walked to them and opened fire, killing his brother-in-law instantly. Fortunately, the wife, who apparently was the main target, somewhat managed to escape the attack.

Some residents told this reporter that after the shooting, Bukari went into hiding but the town folks mounted a search and arrested him at about 1am the next day. He had since been placed in police custody pending investigations.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.

At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.

Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
