Fetish Priest Rains Curses on Detractors of Trouble Carlos’ Crime Podcast

A well-known fetish priest has issued fiery curses against individuals plotting to undermine Trouble Carlos, the controversial host of a popular crime podcast series.

In a dramatic outburst during a community gathering, the priest declared that anyone seeking to “rise against Carlos” would face severe spiritual consequences. According to him, the podcast, which exposes hidden crimes and unsolved cases, has attracted both loyal followers and bitter adversaries who feel threatened by the revelations.

“Those who wish him downfall, those who plan secretly against his voice, will not succeed. The spirits will fight them, their families, and their generations if they do not stop,” the priest warned.

Trouble Carlos’ crime podcast has gained massive traction across Ghana and beyond, often uncovering chilling stories involving crime syndicates, corruption, and abuse of power. While his bold reporting has earned him praise for courage, it has equally drawn criticism and hostility from powerful figures who feel exposed.

The fetish priest’s pronouncement has sparked mixed reactions. Supporters of Carlos see it as a spiritual shield to protect his mission, while skeptics view it as an attempt to stir fear and sensationalism around the podcast.

Despite the controversy, Trouble Carlos has vowed to continue his work, insisting that no amount of threats—physical or spiritual—will silence his platform.

The Latest: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison

By The Associated Press 

NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced Friday to 4 years and 2 months in federal prison in a case involving sex workers, violence and so-called “freak-offs.” 

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said a lengthy sentence was needed for deterrence and that he was not convinced that if Combs were released, these crimes would not recur. 

Since Combs has already served about a year in custody, the sentence means he would likely be released in about three more years, followed by five years of supervised release. 

The 55-year-old hip-hop mogul was convicted in July of transporting people across state lines for drug-fueled sexual encounters that violated the Mann Act.  He was acquitted of the more serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, that would have carried life sentences. 

Key moments during the sentencing hearing

Victims, including former girlfriend Cassie Ventura and a woman referred to as “Jane,” provided victim impact statements describing physical abuse, coercion, and emotional harm.  Combs, fighting back tears, apologized to his victims, his family, and his mother, saying: “I failed you as a son. You taught me better. You raised me better.”  He also said he had lost his businesses, reputation, and self-respect. 

The defense argued Combs had done philanthropic work, tried to reform, and cited his contributions to the community.  The judge, however, said prior acts of violence and abuse outweighed those efforts, and he needed to impose a substantial sentence to deter further misconduct.  A $500,000 fine was also imposed in addition to the prison term. 

Attorney General Orders Chairman Wontumi to Appear Over Akonta Mining Case

The Attorney General, Dominic Ayine, has issued a strong directive to Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, to appear before his office on Monday in relation to allegations of illegal mining activities linked to Akonta Mining Ltd.

According to the Attorney General, the state is determined to pursue the case without fear or favour, stressing that the laws of Ghana will be applied equally to all, regardless of political affiliation or influence. He noted that the ongoing investigation into Akonta Mining’s alleged operations in protected forest reserves has reached a critical stage, making Wontumi’s appearance a matter of legal necessity.

“I have ordered Chairman Wontumi to show up on Monday. Should he not, I will order his arrest. This is not an option but an obligation, and the law must take its course,” Mr. Ayine declared.

Akonta Mining Ltd., reportedly owned by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has been at the centre of public debate for months following claims that the company was engaging in galamsey within forest reserves despite government’s ban on illegal mining. Civil society organisations and environmental activists have since mounted pressure on the government to ensure accountability and justice.

The Attorney General’s remarks appear to signal a turning point in the case, as critics have often accused authorities of shielding politically connected individuals from prosecution.

Mr. Ayine assured the public that his office would handle the matter with transparency and integrity, adding that no individual is above the law.

“The law is no respecter of persons. If Chairman Wontumi is innocent, the facts will show. But if otherwise, justice will be served,” he emphasised.

The outcome of Monday’s scheduled appearance will determine the next line of action, with the Attorney General vowing to pursue criminal charges if substantial evidence of wrongdoing emerges.

KNUST SHS Scandal: Student Pleads for End to Viral Video Circulation

Kumasi, Ghana – A disturbing scandal involving a senior headmaster at KNUST Senior High School (SHS) and a female student has sparked massive outrage on social media, dominating conversations across Kumasi and the country at large. The viral video, which reportedly shows inappropriate scenes between the headmaster and the student, has quickly spread across platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and WhatsApp groups, drawing widespread condemnation and calls for immediate action.

In a heart-wrenching plea, the young student featured in the video has publicly begged Ghanaians to stop sharing the footage. “I’m getting fed up with life. Please stop spreading the video. Please,” she reportedly said in an emotional appeal. Her words have intensified conversations about the mental and emotional toll such scandals inflict on victims, especially young people whose privacy and dignity are stripped away in the digital age.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has already interdicted the headmaster pending investigations, stating that the service has zero tolerance for misconduct involving minors and staff. Several child rights groups, including the Child Protection Alliance Ghana, have also condemned the incident and urged law enforcement agencies to fast-track investigations to ensure justice. They have emphasized that sharing such content is not only unethical but may also constitute a criminal offense under Ghana’s Cybersecurity Act.

Meanwhile, social media users remain divided. While many have expressed sympathy for the student and echoed her plea for the video to be taken down, others continue to circulate the footage, citing demands for transparency and evidence. This ongoing circulation has further worsened the student’s situation, sparking renewed debates about the country’s digital ethics and online responsibility.

Legal experts have reminded the public that distributing sexually explicit content involving minors is a serious crime under Ghanaian law and can attract heavy penalties. Psychologists are also calling for counseling support for the student, warning that she could develop long-term trauma if the situation is not handled with sensitivity.

The KNUST SHS scandal has become a wake-up call for parents, schools, and policymakers to strengthen education on digital safety, consent, and the protection of minors in an era where viral content can destroy lives within hours.

Jedburgh ‘African Tribe’ Evicted After Raid — Ghanaian Man at Centre Speaks Out

A self-proclaimed ‘African tribe’ who had been living in a makeshift camp in the woods near Jedburgh, Scotland, has been evicted following a raid by authorities.

At the heart of the group was Kofi Offeh, a 36-year-old man of Ghanaian descent, who referred to himself as “King Atehene.” Alongside him was his partner Jean Gasho, 43, of Zimbabwean descent, who styled herself as “Queen Nandi.” They were joined by Kaura Taylor, 21, an American from Texas, known within the camp as “Asnat.”

The group said they were reconnecting with what they described as their “African heritage” by creating a traditional village in the Scottish woods. For them, it was not only an experiment in community living but also, they claimed, a way of preserving identity and spiritual connection.

Kofi, the Ghanaian man leading the camp, has drawn both criticism and sympathy. While some locals and authorities described the encampment as unlawful and unsafe, others have expressed understanding of his determination to carve out a life rooted in cultural pride, far away from his homeland.

During the eviction, tents and belongings were removed, leaving the group displaced. Kofi, who had taken on the symbolic role of “king,” is now facing uncertainty but has spoken of his resilience and belief that his vision was never just about land, but about dignity, heritage, and belonging.

Authorities have not indicated where the group will go next, but the raid has sparked wider debate about freedom of expression, cultural identity, and the challenges faced by people of African descent seeking alternative lifestyles in Europe.

For Kofi, the eviction marks a setback, but he maintains that his spirit remains unbroken, saying his journey reflects not just his story, but also the struggle of many Africans in the diaspora searching for a place to truly call home.

The Chairperson and Leader of the People’s National Party, Janet Nabla, has asserted that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo displayed greater competence in governance compared to former President John Dramani Mahama.

According to her, Akufo-Addo exercised firm control over the country during his tenure, unlike Mahama, whose leadership she described as less decisive. She emphasized that strong leadership requires the ability to manage national affairs with authority and clarity, a quality she believes was evident under Akufo-Addo’s administration.

Nabla’s remarks add to the ongoing debate about leadership performance in Ghana, as both Mahama and Akufo-Addo continue to dominate national political discussions.

Five men have been sentenced for running a large-scale romance fraud and money-laundering operation that defrauded victims of more than £2 million.

According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the gang targeted 40 confirmed victims between 2017 and 2024, though investigators suspect as many as 99 individuals were exploited.

The fraudsters manipulated victims through fake online relationships, persuading them to hand over significant sums of money, which were then laundered through various accounts.

At Guildford Crown Court, Fawaz Ali, 27, was jailed for four years and 10 months; Ebenezer Tackie, 42, for four years and six months; and Michael Quartey, 28, for five years and six months. Kwabena Edusei, 37, received the longest sentence of seven years and 10 months, while George Melseaux, 40, was jailed for three years and nine months.

Authorities described the crimes as “heartless and calculated,” leaving victims not only financially devastated but also emotionally scarred. Prosecutors hailed the sentencing as a strong warning to others engaging in similar fraudulent schemes.
