Upper West: Eliasah Mahama Sentenced to Life in prison for Murder of Royal Cosy Hills Hotel (Jirapa Dubai) CEO, Eric Johnson

The Wa High Court has delivered its long-awaited verdict in the high-profile murder case involving the late Eric Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Royal Cosy Hills Hotel, popularly known as Jirapa Dubai.

In a unanimous decision this afternoon, the 7-member jury found the first accused, Eliasah Mahama Akpanyikye, guilty of murder. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

However, the second and third accused persons, Belinda Miller and Kweku Kankumbata, were both found not guilty and discharged after the prosecution failed to prove their involvement beyond reasonable doubt.

Eric Johnson was tragically found dead in his residence at the Royal Cosy Hills Hotel in February 2024, an incident that shocked the nation and sparked months of legal proceedings. The trial, which drew widespread attention, saw several witnesses and investigators testify from across the Upper West Region.

After a series of adjournments and public debates, the Chief Justice ruled that the case remained in Wa, allowing the local community deeply affected by the incident to witness justice being served.

The guilty verdict was reached by a 7–0 unanimous decision, marking the end of a case that had gripped both the local and national media. Under Ghana’s criminal procedure law, the convicted person, Eliasah Mahama Akpanyikye, retains the right to appeal the judgment

"I'm Not Afraid to Lose my Job" - Otto Addo

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo says he is not worried about losing his job despite growing speculation surrounding his future. The 49-year-old tactician made the comments after successfully guiding Ghana to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Ghana secured its fifth World Cup appearance with a narrow 1-0 victory over Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday. The decisive goal came in the first half from midfielder Mohammed Kudus, sealing the Black Stars’ place in the global tournament.

However, despite the qualification, Addo has faced mounting criticism over the team’s inconsistent performances throughout the qualification campaign.

Speaking to the Ghana Football Association’s official website before the Comoros game, the former Borussia Dortmund talent coach emphasized that his focus remains on making Ghanaians proud rather than worrying about his job security.

“What happens after is not in my hands. I hope that a lot of people, if we win, can go to America. We have to win this game. This is what we are looking at. If Ghanaians are happy, then we are happy,” Addo said.

His qualification feat marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s football history, as he becomes the first coach to lead the Black Stars to consecutive World Cup tournaments, having also guided the team to the 2022 edition in Qatar.

The Black Stars will find out their group-stage opponents for the 2026 FIFA World Cup when the official draw takes place on December 5.

UG Students Win International Packaging Awards in Italy

Three students from the University of Ghana have brought international glory to the institution after winning top prizes at the 2025 International Student Packaging Design Competition held in Italy. The students, Rudolph Zikpi and Mary Eyram Chukwu from the Department of Food Process Engineering, and Richmond Oteng Kumah from the Department of Food Science, received the Best in Food Category Award and a Silver Award in Food Packaging for their innovative project titled *EcoFlex: Innovative Sustainable Packaging*.

At a brief ceremony, the award winners presented their trophies to the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo. She praised their achievement, describing it as “really big” and a testament to the capability of Ghanaian students when given the right environment and support. “You have shown that University of Ghana students can do it. You have connected the dots and demonstrated that with the right environment and support, our students can translate knowledge into practice,” she said.

Their award-winning project, *EcoFlex*, is a two-part packaging system designed to tackle one of agriculture’s most persistent challenges—keeping fresh produce safe, sustainable, and affordable. The EcoFlexCool unit employs evaporative cooling to maintain freshness without electricity, while the EcoFlex Basket is a biodegradable, stackable, and foldable container with drainage, adjustable compartments, and tracking features.

The students’ journey to international recognition began when they won a national competition organized by Royal Crown Packaging Ltd., where they outperformed teams from KNUST, Accra Technical University, Academic City University College, and Ashesi University. That victory earned them the opportunity to represent Ghana on the global stage, where their design stood out among 237 entries.

The team was accompanied by their mentors and faculty members, including Professor Elsie Effah Kaufmann, Dean of the School of Engineering Sciences; Professor Esther Sakyi-Dawson, Department of Nutrition and Food Science; Professor Angela Parry-Hanson Kunadu, Head of Nutrition and Food Science; and Professor Nicole Sharon Affrifah, Former Head of the Department of Food Process Engineering.

NPP Flagbearer Race: Dr. Bawumia to Begin Nationwide Campaign Tour on October 15

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, begin a nationwide campaign tour as part of his efforts to secure the flagbearer position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

A statement released by the Bawumia Campaign Team on Tuesday, October 14, said the tour will cover all 276 constituencies and is aimed at deepening grassroots engagement and strengthening the party’s structures ahead of the presidential primaries.

The statement noted that the campaign tour will provide Dr. Bawumia with an opportunity to interact directly with polling station and electoral area coordinators, constituency executives, former Members of Parliament, former MMDCEs, patrons, and members of the Council of Elders. It added that the tour demonstrates Dr. Bawumia’s commitment to listening to party members, building consensus, and fortifying the NPP’s foundation from the ground up.

“Dr. Bawumia looks forward to sharing his vision and collectively working towards a resounding victory for the NPP in the 2028 general elections,” the statement said.

The campaign team also called for an issue-based and civil campaign, expressing concern over the growing trend of personal attacks and insults within party communications. It noted that such conduct is not in the spirit of the NPP and runs counter to the values of unity, respect, and decency that the party upholds.

Supporters, communicators, and volunteers of the Bawumia Campaign were urged to refrain from personal attacks and derogatory remarks against other aspirants, their families, or their supporters. The statement emphasized that campaign engagements should be grounded in facts, comparative analysis of ideas, and the track records of aspirants, focusing on policies, competence, and electability.

“As we seek to lead the NPP into the 2028 elections, we must remember that our goal is party unity and national progress. Communications that sow division and create lasting animosity only serve to weaken our collective front,” the statement cautioned.

It concluded by expressing confidence that Dr. Bawumia’s vision, experience, and policy ideas will resonate strongly with delegates when the campaign debate remains focused on issues. The statement was signed by Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Communications Director of the Bawumia Campaign.
