INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHI RAJI'UN

​The Kumasi media community has been thrown into mourning following the sudden passing of veteran Zuria FM newscaster, Rabiatu Lukman.

​Rabiatu, who was in her 30s, served as a dedicated voice on Zuria FM for 9 impactful years, delivering news to thousands across the region.

She leaves behind a baby who's less than a year old, someone close to the bereaved family told us.

​The team at Zango Spotlight extends our deepest condolences to her family, the baby, and her Zuria FM colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.

​May Allah grant her Janna, forgive her shortcomings, and give her family the strength to bear the loss.

Back in 2010, sports journalist Abdul Wadudu Osman was caught in class writing an essay titled "How to solve Kotoko's problems."

Instead of punishing him, his history teacher saw his passion for football. His classmates ended up giving him the nickname "Kotoko Problem."

​Years later, that passion has taken him around the world!

​Abdul Wadudu recently traveled to the United States to cover the 2026 FIFA World Cup—his second World Cup after Qatar 2022. From AFCON 2024 in Côte d'Ivoire to reporting in Germany, Austria, and South Africa, his journey proves that passion and hard work pay off.

​Zango Spotlight celebrates Abdul Wadudu for representing Zango on the international stage!

Right now, Eid prayers in a number of mosques in Kumasi is observed at 9:00am, which means everything wraps up around 11am, close to midday.

Youth Activist Mahmoud Salih Muhammad Bamba suggests moving the time to 7:00am.

This change, according to him, would follow Islamic tradition by hastening the prayer, giving working families and households enough time to enjoy the day and also complete their sacrifices.

​Should our Imams and mosque committees consider this?

The local government leaders in Asokore Mampong have met and decided on new rules for all tricycle (Adeideita) riders. These rules will start being enforced by the Police on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.

​Here is what you need to know in simple words:

​No Foreign Riders:

Only citizens are allowed to ride Adeideita. If a foreigner is caught riding, both the rider and the owner of the tricycle will be arrested.

​No Children:

Children (minors) are not allowed to operate these vehicles. Owners who let children ride their Adeideita will also be in trouble with the law.

​Must Have Papers:

Every rider must have the right ID and documents, like a driver’s license and a roadworthy certificate.

​No Overloading:

A rider can only carry a maximum of 3 passengers. Carrying more than three people is a crime.
