President Mahama Fulfills Landmark Pledge with Completion of Ten Legacy Temples for Assemblies of God
President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama have delivered on a major campaign promise with the completion of ten “Legacy Temple Projects” for the Assemblies of God Church. The new houses of worship, spread across multiple regions, stand as modern beacons of hope and community, fully equipped with chairs, sound systems, and musical instruments. The ambitious initiative was first announced by President Mahama during his 2024 campaign tour in Navrongo, where he pledged to strengthen faith-based infrastructure and foster social development. Less than a year later, the vision has become reality, with the new temples set to serve as vibrant community hubs for spiritual growth, social engagement, and youth development programs. Church leaders and congregants alike have expressed gratitude and excitement, describing the temples as a milestone in the history of the Assemblies of God Church and a testament to the power of government partnerships with religious organizations. The completion of the Legacy Temple Projects highlights the Mahama administration’s commitment to supporting religious institutions and nurturing the role of faith in national development. As communities gather in these modern worship centers, the positive impact on spiritual life and youth empowerment is expected to resonate for generations to come. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
Shatta Wale’s Fans Rally at EOCO Headquarters Following Artist’s Detention
On Thursday, the usually quiet premises of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Accra were transformed into a scene of fervent support and anticipation. Scores of fans of dancehall superstar Charles Nii Armah Mensah, better known as Shatta Wale, gathered outside the EOCO building, demanding the immediate release of their idol following his detention over alleged breaches of tax compliance. The tension began on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, when Shatta Wale was taken into custody as part of EOCO’s ongoing investigation into luxury vehicle ownership and tax compliance in Ghana. The focus of the inquiry, as later clarified, centered on the tax obligations tied to Shatta Wale’s yellow Lamborghini and certain aspects of his business dealings. News of his detention spread rapidly, sparking an outpouring of support from fans and industry insiders alike. The following day, the crowd outside EOCO’s offices swelled, with supporters chanting for his freedom and waving banners adorned with the artist’s image. Amidst the speculation and swirling rumors on social media, Shatta Wale’s media manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah (widely known as Sammy Flex), took to social media to address the situation. In a live video, Sammy Flex assured fans that Shatta Wale’s legal team and management were actively working to meet the bail conditions set by EOCO. He urged the public to disregard unfounded rumors, emphasizing that the inquiry was strictly related to tax matters concerning the luxury car and not other issues being discussed online. EOCO has since confirmed that Shatta Wale has been granted bail set at GH₵10 million, with two sureties required to be justified, pending the fulfillment of all legal procedures. For now, Shatta Wale’s supporters remain hopeful, keeping vigil and awaiting the artist’s release as the legal process unfolds. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
