Osei Kwame, also known as “Nsafufoo,” was arrested by the Ghana Police Service for illegally acquiring and donning a police uniform without permission.

When the suspect appeared visibly drunk in a widely shared video while wearing full police uniforms, the public became alarmed and the authorities acted quickly.

In the Ashanti Region’s Manso Nkwanta District, near Antoakrom, the arrest was made.

Osei Kwame is presently being held and cooperating with ongoing investigations, according to police sources.

In addition to cautioning the public against impersonation and the improper usage of official police uniforms, the Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its dedication to upholding the uniform’s integrity.

Residents of Aputuogya in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region are shocked and terrified after an unidentified person was allegedly killed by a guy suspected of having mental instability.

The suspect, who is also unknown to the residents of the Aputuogya area but is rumored to reside in the nearby town of Feyiase, is believed to have attacked the deceased, whose name has not yet been determined.

Samuel Adu Amankwah, the assembly member for the Aputuogya Electoral Area, confirmed the incident, stating that the suspect tried to dispose of the body by burying it in a gutter after the grisly deed.

The culprit has subsequently been captured and charged before the Ejisu District Magistrate’s Court, he added.

As investigations proceed, the deceased’s body has been transported and placed at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue.

In the Western Region, police have conducted a series of prearranged, intelligence-driven raids and arrested 44 persons connected to illicit mining (galamsey).

This crackdown is a component of the Western Regional Police Command’s continuous attempts to address the widespread problem of galamsey, which is a major hazard to the ecology and natural resources of the area.

The operation started in Wassa Amanten, when police conducted a surprise search and apprehended 27 people who were discovered working at unapproved mining sites.

Critical equipment, such as a tricycle, an unregistered Boxer motorcycle, several water pumping devices, and a “changfan” machine—which was later burned on the scene—was also seized by the authorities in conjunction with the arrests.

On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, the police carried out two more raids in the infamous mining areas of Adamaso and Wassa Mamieso, continuing their tough stance against illicit mining.

Twelve individuals were arrested in Adamaso, including George Amoah (45), Jeremiah Adusei (37), Eric Martey (41), and Abraham Antwi (26).

During this operation, five water pumping machines were seized by the authorities.

Five more people were taken into custody by police in Wassa Mamieso, further east, close to the Mamie River: Seidu Ayigbe (30), Matthew Wofatey (20), Samuel Kwarteng (19), Stephen Tetteh (30), and Junior Simon (21).

To further their attempts to shut down illicit mining operations, police also recovered a Sunny Excavator 215 Control Board during this investigation.

These coordinated raids are part of a larger effort to stop illicit mining activities that continue to jeopardize the region’s ecosystems and water bodies, the Western Regional Police Command has reaffirmed.

The police reaffirmed their dedication to making sure that these environmental protection initiatives are not just successful but also long-lasting.

Authorities are asking residents to report suspicious activity and work with law enforcement to protect their natural resources because illegal mining is still a concern.

The Western Regional Police emphasize that they will continue to be vigilant and take decisive action to safeguard the ecosystem of the region for future generations as the struggle against galamsey escalates.
