The motive behind the teacher’s untimely death remains unknown.

The deceased, who also worked as a taxi driver, taught at Assin Dompim Academy Basic School. He is survived by his wife and two children.

Sources at the school indicated that Mr. Quanoo had been absent from work for some time and only resumed duties yesterday.

However, he reportedly left the campus around 12 noon after the second break, informing colleagues that he was going home to seek medical attention.

Tragically, news later emerged that he had allegedly hanged himself in his room at Assin Fosu using a skipping rope tied to a crossbar.

In a heartbreaking development, his two daughters, aged eight and seven, are said to have raised the alarm after returning home from school and finding their father unresponsive.

The case has since been reported to the police, and investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

In a related development, a 43-year-old farmer, identified as Ato Kwamena, is also reported to have shot himself at Assin Betinsinso in the Assin Fosu Municipality.

According to relatives, the deceased allegedly phoned one of his brothers shortly after the incident, informing him that he had shot himself and urgently needed help.

He was rushed to a nearby health facility but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Both incidents have been reported to the police, and investigations are ongoing.

Sending your man away unconsciously? http://34.58.148.58/sending-your-man-away-unconsciously/ Sat, 13 Sep 2025 16:56:41 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2578246 A woman loves to be in a relationship. In fact, many women define their self-esteem by the quality of their relationships.

If her relationship is good, everything about her feels good. A woman will, therefore, consciously work on her relationship to keep it, but sadly, sometimes she unconsciously pushes away what she loves to keep.

Some 10 years ago, a wealthy man had a fight with his wife in their bedroom.

How do you send your man away unconsciously

Not respecting him: Respect is the most important need of a man because it encourages him to grow, mature and be himself. It makes him a stronger partner, protector and provider.

If you do not respect your man, you make him a living dead person and drive him away without knowing.

Not submitting to him: Submitting is the yielding obedience to your man and ultimately to your Maker, who instituted marriage and made your man the ordained leader.

Submission involves your attitude and your actions. If you do not submit to your man, you question his leadership and competence to lead your relationship. You compete with him, and he questions his self-worth. He avoids you to protect his ego.

Not trusting him: Deep inside, your man desires to be trusted. Trust encourages your man to share all areas of his life, including his fears and failures, with you.

You attack your man’s masculinity and boast of your achievements. You take pride in intimidation, aggression and power.

You belittle your man in front of others. If you go behind him and do things just to show you can do better, you are telling him he does not measure up to you.

He responds by pulling away from you.

You hold him responsible for your happiness: You repeatedly remind him of his responsibilities, even when he believes he is doing his best.

You assume your man owes you happiness, yet in reality, no one can make another person happy. You exert undue pressure on him and may not know what to do.

You fail to appreciate his efforts and constantly complain about what you lack and what other women possess.

He may feel like a failure and stop attempting to meet your needs. As a result, he might avoid you by working longer hours or leaving the relationship.

Not meeting his emotional needs: A man’s most important emotional needs include sex, an attractive wife, and good domestic care.

If you do not show interest in sex, neglect your appearance, have unkempt hair, make no effort to manage your weight, do not cook well, and do not keep your home tidy, you may cause your man to feel depressed and he might leave you.

Are you sending your man away unconsciously? Your man may appear big and strong, but deep inside he could be very fragile, held together by a thin thread.

His ego, self-confidence, and sense of worth are connected to you, and any seemingly insignificant word or action might be all it takes to drive him away without you realising.

Understand your man. Be entirely devoted to him. Trust him and be his cheerleader.

If you love your man deeply from your heart and stay true to your words, he will always grow closer to you and never abandon or forsake you.

Farmer jailed 10 years for inflicting cutlass wounds on pregnant wife http://34.58.148.58/farmer-jailed-10-years-for-inflicting-cutlass-wounds-on-pregnant-wife/ Thu, 11 Jul 2024 04:26:55 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2420649 A Dambai Circuit Court has sentenced a 42- year-old farmer, Anas Ibrahim, to 22 years in prison for inflicting cutlass wounds on his pregnant wife at Banda in the Krachi Nchumuru District of the Oti Region.

The court, presided over by Osman Abdul-Hakeem, convicted the accused on his own plea, and sentenced him accordingly.

He was sentenced to five, seven and 10 years each for assault, for inflicting multiple cutlass wounds and attempted murder with the sentence going consecutively.

Detective Chief Inspector S. K. Gavor, prosecuting, informed the court that Anas inflicted multiple cutlass wounds on his pregnant wife on a farm in Banda on May 28, 2024, without provocation.

He said investigations indicated that the suspect invaded his wife’s house at about 0100 hours without her notice and knocked on the door but did not have access of entry.

He said the following morning, the suspect ambushed the wife and butchered her severally, and was taken to the Banda Health Centre and later referred to Kpandai Polyclinic for further medical treatment.

Chief Inspector Gavor said the victim had since been discharged from the hospital.

Anas, in response to the charges, said he did not intend to butcher his wife on the farm, but she broke his head with a stick, resulting in blood oozing out, which infuriated him to attack her.

Man caught smuggling 100 snakes in his trousers [Video] http://34.58.148.58/man-caught-smuggling-100-snakes-in-his-trousers-video/ Thu, 11 Jul 2024 01:01:34 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2420621

A man tried to smuggle more than 100 live snakes into mainland China by stuffing them in his trousers, according to custom officials.

The unnamed traveller was stopped after passing through the “nothing to declare” gate at the crossing between semi-autonomous Hong Kong and the city of Shenzhen, officials said.

Upon inspection, he had 104 snakes in “six canvas drawstring bags” inside his trousers, a statement from China Customs said.

“Each bag was found to contain living snakes in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours,” it added.

Video released by Chinese customs shows a pair of agents peering into transparent plastic bags filled with live red, pink and white snakes.

They were mostly small, but it is a large and squirmy haul of slithering reptiles for anyone to carry in their trousers.

Strict biosecurity and disease control laws forbid people from bringing in non-native species without permission into the country.

“Those who break the rules will be… held liable in accordance with the law,” the customs authority said, without specifying the man’s punishment.

In 2023 at the same crossing point, a woman was stopped trying to smuggle in five snakes hidden inside her bra.

China is one of the world’s biggest animal trafficking hubs and authorities have been cracking down on the shady trade in recent years.

Local police say a man from Osnabruck in north-west Germany has been detained.

They added that there is currently no evidence that the man intended to endanger spectators at the Westfalenstadion, which is the home of Borussia Dortmund.

Authorities said on Saturday that they were using a helicopter to illuminate the roof in a bid to find the man, who had been spotted by fellow spectators climbing the interior of the stadium.

The match had to be temporarily suspended in the 35th minute because of a thunderstorm, but Germany’s 2-0 win took the hosts through to the quarter-finals.

Man arrested for fabricating miracle healing at church in Kasoa http://34.58.148.58/man-arrested-for-fabricating-miracle-healing-at-church-in-kasoa/ Mon, 08 Apr 2024 05:04:28 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2378082 A suspected criminal has been apprehended after attempting to deceive attendees at an Easter convention hosted by The Church of Pentecost in Kasoa.

The individual, wanted by Police, fabricated a miraculous healing of his purported blindness, which subsequently garnered attention on social media platforms.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the 67-year-old suspect falsely claimed to have been miraculously cured of a 22-year-long blindness, a testimony at the convention that quickly spread across various social media platforms.

The Kasoa Area of The Church of Pentecost initiated a thorough investigation into the authenticity of the alleged healing and conducted an assessment of the suspect’s living conditions.

Meanwhile, plans were underway to provide housing and startup capital for him and his family, until it was discovered that he staged the entire ordeal.

Simultaneously, the Ghana Police Service launched an investigation upon viewing the viral video, leading to the tracking and subsequent arrest of the suspect.

A statement issued by Apostle James Kwabena Asare, the Kasoa Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, addressed the incident, stating: “One incident occurred (healing of the blind man) which turned out to be fake. The supposed blind man has turned out to be an alleged criminal who has caused a lot of atrocities and has been hiding from facing the law. He has now been exposed and handed over to the Police.”

Furthermore, the statement urged members of the church to refrain from discussing or sharing information about the fabricated miracle on social media platforms.

Nonetheless, Apostle Asare also emphasized the importance of obtaining permission from the Area media committee before disseminating any information related to the church on social media platforms, in an effort to prevent similar incidents in the future.

This was after he was accused of blackmail and leaking the sex tape on social media.

Fitz has since denied allegations of blackmail, explaining he wasn’t the one who leaked the video.

According to him, the media personality took the video herself and sent to him to calm him down when she offended him.

The businessman further accused her of allegedly having numerous relationships which might have eventually led to her losing her phone to some unknown big men in the country.

“Wow and wow again…!!! Blackmailing you since 2019? When I was accommodating you for GH¢2500 daily for about 5 months.

Acid attack survivor shares sad story http://34.58.148.58/acid-attack-survivor-shares-sad-story/ Wed, 21 Feb 2024 20:25:07 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2359582 A youn man identified only as Augustine has recounted his horrifying experience of surviving an acid attack allegedly arranged by his former girlfriend.

Augustine, now 25- years-old, shared his story in an interview with GhPage TV, detailing the events leading up to the incident.

He revealed that, after completing secondary school, he travelled to Dubai where he made a of of money to support himself and others.

Among those he sought to assist was his former girlfriend from secondary school days, whom he had hoped to help finish her education and improve her life prospects.

However, he said the lady was no more interested in the relationship and he opted out but promised to support her education.

Little did he know, this decision would lead to a horrific act of violence.

Just days before his departure from Ghana, Augustine claimed his ex-girlfriend hired someone to douse him in acid.

The attack left him with severe burns and was on admission at the hospital for nearly three months.

In a chilling twist, Augustine claimed he recognized the assailant’s voice during the attack and called out his ex-girlfriend’s name in anguish as he struggled with the excruciating pain.

Fortunately, bystanders rushed him to Okomfo Anokye Hospital for urgent medical attention.

Despite his injuries, Augustine managed to identify the perpetrator to the police, leading to his arrest and subsequent conviction.

The assailant, who reportedly used an auto-rickshaw (known locally as “Pra Gyia”) during the attack, was sentenced to ten years in prison.

As Augustine continues to recover from the physical and emotional trauma, he remains resolute in his quest to seek justice.

The man, visibly frustrated, is seen holding back three foreign-bred dogs to warn the pastors to reduce the noise during their service.

In the video, the man went straight to the pulpit to express his displeasure at the loud prayers and worship.

Rather, the church members continue fervently praying like they are casting out demons, seemingly oblivious to the man’s presence.

After a few minutes of not reaching an agreement, the man decides to leave the premises, but not before making his point.

This incident highlights a growing concern among Ghanaians who reside near churches.

The issue of noise pollution from religious activities has become a subject, with many residents hesitant to report it due to the fear of being labelled as ‘evil’ or anti-religious.

Man who survived 438 days lost at sea explains how imagining sex, food helped him survive http://34.58.148.58/man-who-survived-438-days-lost-at-sea-explains-how-imagining-sex-food-helped-him-survive/ Tue, 17 Jan 2023 23:26:11 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2205846 A man who was lost at sea for 438 days said imagining sex and food helped him to survive.

José Salvador Alvarenga had been fishing for sharks in Mexico for decades, but on one fateful day in November 2012, a doomed fishing trip would go on to become a barely believable tale of survival.

José – who was 33 on the day of that trip – normally fished the Pacific Ocean for a couple of days at a time with his friend; however, his pal was unavailable, so he took inexperienced dayworker Ezequiel Córdoba, who was 22.

Initially, the trip was proving to be surprisingly fruitful, so when a storm began to set in they decided to keep fishing. But this proved to be a very bad decision indeed.

As they attempted to return to land, waves flooded the engine and they drifted out to sea, where they were battered by the storm, losing most of the equipment they had on board.

The storm didn’t let up for a whole tortuous week, and by the time it had passed, they were completely lost in their small, camouflaged, blue and white boat. And in the week that followed, they nearly died of thirst as they had no water and it didn’t rain.

But while plastic pollution may be killing our planet, it actually helped to save José and Ezequiel, who collected more than 70 bottles, which they filled when it finally rained.

As for their diet, they had to be resourceful.

Speaking on the How To! podcast, journalist Jonathan Franklin – author of 438 Days – explained: “The first month they were eating turtles because they were close to shore and there were lots of sea turtles.

“They would grab the sea turtles, kill them, and then collect the blood and drink glass after glass of the blood, which turns out is extremely healthy and gives you energy. And then they would cook the meat.

“There were also little sharks that would follow them and if the sharks were small enough, less than maybe two or three feet, Alvarenga would wait until they were next to the boat and grab them by the back fin.

“They would eat the shark livers because it turns out that the shark liver is full of all sorts of oils and nutrition. They just had this crazy diet of turtles and shark liver.”

As they drifted further out, they had to be more creative – and cruel – to survive.

They would wait till birds landed on a stick on their boat, and after waiting patiently to strike, they would grab the bird and break one of its wings. This way, they were able to amass dozens of birds on the boat, so they had an ongoing food supply.

But beyond all this, a key to survival was staying sane, and it didn’t help that José and Ezequiel were very different people – the former a party animal, and the latter an evangelical Christian.

As such, it was vital that they used their imaginations, and Jonathan said that José told him he actually had the best meals and the best sex of his life all in his mind during those 438 days at sea.

He said: “It was funny because basically the guy who has deep faith was seeing all sorts of spiritual images and the other guy who is a party monster was probably seeing tequila bottles.

“When they saw airplanes go by, they would imagine out loud, ‘What do you think they’re having?’ They would create these amazing feasts imagining that the people in the airplanes were eating.

“Alvarenga would imagine that he’s walking down the beach and seeing some girl he’s always been flirting with—it’s this alternative reality that keeps him alive. And he said, “Jonathan, the best meals of my life were those imaginary meals I had at sea. The best sex I had in my life was the imaginary sex’.”

Sadly, Ezequiel died 10 weeks in, after a poisoned bird made him fearful of eating and he wasted away.

José was eventually found in the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific, 6,700 miles from where he had set off from 438 days earlier.

Police arrest man in viral video who whipped his toddler 21 times http://34.58.148.58/police-arrest-man-in-viral-video-who-whipped-his-toddler-21-times/ Thu, 06 Oct 2022 10:30:38 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2169358 The police have arrested a man seen in a viral video brutally assaulting his barely three-year-old son.

The suspect, Richard Kofi, was picked up at about 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Akaa Buem in Jasikan in the Oti Region.

In the video, the man, believed to be his father, whacks the boy off his feet with what appears like the branch of a scrub and continues a ghastly assault while the boy crawls.

Undeterred by the boy’s pitchy cries, the suspect lifts the boy up and continues the beating. He whips the boy at least 21 times in the 1:18 minute video.

At Akaa Buem on Wednesday, the community was stirred up after the police went in to pick up the suspect. He was taken to the chief’s palace, where his alleged crime was explained and whisked away in a Toyota van.

The police also picked up the suspect’s wife, who lives in a house separate from the husband. The child was also rescued from the house and placed in the care of the police.

The arrest comes barely 24 hours after the police issued a statement Tuesday, slapping a 2,000 cedi bounty on the man.

While being transported out of the community, the suspect insisted he had done nothing wrong. He was heard swearing and threatening to harm those who reported him to the police.

The Ghana Police Service had appealed to the public to help arrest the man.

His wife was the one who always took the rent to his “landlord.”

On one fateful day, the couple had an altercation after the wife, Lushomo, discovered that her husband was having an extramarital affair.

Hateful words were exchanged, and Martin allegedly told his wife that he got a side chick because he wanted someone who was intelligent and who had smart conversations.

Man with 864 insect tattoos breaks Guinness World Record [Photos] http://34.58.148.58/man-with-864-insect-tattoos-breaks-guinness-world-record-photos/ Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:22:06 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2137575 Michael Amoia (USA) has a staggering 864 insects tattooed on his body, as confirmed on 28 October 2021.

His artwork includes beetles, ants, earwigs and moths.

Some of these tattoos include: 

  • A 13-inch moth across his throat and chest
  • 89 ants on his left forearm and another 36 from his forearm to his bicep
  • 23 red ants on his right posterior calf
  • A 2.5-inch beetle over his right eye
  • A 2.5-inch earwig behind his right ear
@guinnessworldrecords Most insect tattoos ?? 864 by Mike Amoia ?? #tattoo #tattoos #insects ♬ original sound – Guinness World Records

His first tattoo was of an ant that he got on his right forearm when he was 21 years old. 

“The first one I got was a red queen ant. She got pregnant and that’s where it all spawned,” explained Mike.

Many would deduce that Mike enjoys entomology or simply loves the look of bugs.

However, that’s far from the truth.

“A lot of people think I like bugs – actually it’s the complete opposite. I’m afraid of bugs, I hate bugs. But is has multiple meanings, that’s why I put them all over my body.” – Mike Amoia

“It’s some dark meaning, but more of a positive message .”

He also has other creepy crawlies tattooed on his body, including spiders and two massive millipedes. These don’t count towards the record total however, as they are not technically insects – spiders are arachnids and millipedes are myriapods.

The millipede on his chest is 17 inches wide and 19 inches long, and he also has a 50-inch one on his back.

Mike’s tattoos can attract a lot of attention when he’s out and about. 

“People always come up to me and talk to me about my work.”

“I guess I have to expect it; but when they learn about my story they start to formulate a completely different opinion of me.”

“Hopefully I can open up some people’s minds so they can realize, you know, there’s a few ways to look at things and don’t judge a book by its cover, I guess.”

Mike is a music producer, starting his career when he was 22, and has worked with many high-profile clients.

He has also started various businesses including Vidiots, Switchblade Entertainment Group and Mibe Music. It’s fair to say that the New York native has enjoyed incredible professional success. 

“It’s always funny because any time I put these [tattoos] on [my body] everybody said it would deter me from getting a job or making any sort of real money.”

“Now, twenty something years later, I’m using it to actually raise money and awareness.”

Mike has a plan to utilise his record-breaking artwork to create a unique NFT (non-fungible token), which can be sold to raise money for a cause close to his heart.

Mike sits on the board at For a Bright Future, a foundation that donates equipment and money to “underprivileged, underrepresented kids.”

“If I can create an NFT out of these tattoos and validate it with Guinness World Records then we can donate some of the proceeds back to these kids.”

“My tattoos have a personal meaning to me as it takes me back to my childhood, and I figure it’s a nice full circle story.”

We’re excited to see what the future holds for Mike’s extraordinary and record-breaking tattoos.

Man jailed 6 months for stealing at police station http://34.58.148.58/man-jailed-6-months-for-stealing-at-police-station/ Wed, 25 May 2022 10:12:17 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2118043 A Dei-Dei area court, Abuja, Nigeria on Monday, sentenced a 34-year-old driver, Habib Dada, to six months imprisonment, for stealing N13,250 (GH¢ 248) belonging to a suspect in police detention.

Dada pleaded guilty to escaping from lawful custody and theft and begged for leniency.

The Judge, Mr Sulyman Ola, however, gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N40,000 (GH¢ 749) for the two-count charge and warned him to desist from committing crime.

Mr Ola ordered the convict to pay the N13,200, belonging to his fellow detainee which he stole from police counter.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Chinedu Ogada, told the court that the accused was in detention in the cell at the Efab Estate police station on April 29, in connection with a case of gym equipment, iPhone and car battery theft.

Ogada said a police officer opened the cell and brought out two suspects, and that the accused used the opportunity and smartly moved from the cell to the counter, where he stole the money and escaped from custody.

The prosecutor said he was later tracked down and re-arrested by the police.

Meanwhile, the court, in a separate case, also  sentenced him to another nine months imprisonment for stealing his employer’s gym equipment.

He pleaded guilty to criminal breach of trust and theft and begged the court for leniency.

The judge, Mr Sulyman Ola, gave Dada an option to pay a fine of N25,000 (GH¢ 468) and ordered him to pay N520,000 (GH¢ 9,742) as compensation to the complainant.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Mr Chinedu Ogada, told the court that the complainant, Kenny Umeyi, reported the matter at the Efab police station on April 27, that the accused who was his driver stole his three gym equipment worth N500,000, one iPhone Max 10 valued at N80,000 and one car battery valued at N20,000.

The prosecutor added that during police investigation, the convict made a confessional statement admitting to the crime.

Man bitten by snake he thought was dead inside a wine bottle he bought for his son http://34.58.148.58/man-bitten-by-snake-he-thought-was-dead-inside-a-wine-bottle-he-bought-for-his-son/ Fri, 25 Mar 2022 16:07:02 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2095956 A Chinese father had the shock of his life when a supposedly dead snake inside a jar of snake wine he bought a year ago suddenly bit him.

The man from Heilongjiang Province, China, reportedly bought three jars of snake wine, believing that the drink could help cure his son, who has been suffering from a chronic illness.

Instead of opening the jars, the father purportedly left them untouched for a year so that they could have “enough medicinal properties.”

After the year-long marination, the man claims he decided to finally open the jars and administer the traditional Chinese medicine, only to find that all three of the venomous snakes “came back to life” before one of them bit him.

After being rushed to the hospital, he was treated immediately and reportedly survived the incident.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe that snake wine contains several health benefits and can even be a cure for rheumatism, arthritis and the flu.

The drink is often prepared by fitting a snake inside a jar of alcohol, usually rice wine, and leaving it there to marinate for months.

Some experts said that what happened to the father was not entirely strange since snakes can supposedly live inside a jar of alcohol for 12 months without dying, especially if the lid is left slightly open for air to enter.

However, herpetologist Wolfgang Wüster argued that what happened was “biologically impossible.”

“No snake can survive submerged in any kind of liquid in a bottle for more than an hour or so as a maximum,” Wüster told Newsweek.

“Snakes have no magical powers, they are made of flesh and bone like any other animal, and require food, water and oxygen to survive.”

Some snake species are able to enter a state of brumation, which is similar to hibernation for reptiles, when certain conditions are met, such as very low temperatures.

During brumation, they require less oxygen and their metabolism slows.

Why man married woman who set him on fire will shock you http://34.58.148.58/why-man-married-woman-who-set-him-on-fire-will-shock-you/ Thu, 03 Feb 2022 22:26:11 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2075171 A man who wasted three years of his life stuck in a hospital bed for the treatment of burns has married the woman who set him on fire.

Fridaus shown the power of love and forgiveness when he accepted his former lover back and even made her the mother of his two children after she made an attempt to end his life.

The reason, he said, is that he felt no woman will love him with his scars. Moreover, his lover who inflicted the wounds on him, was the only one by his side during his recovery period.

He added that at that time, rumours were flying that she was prepared to end his life if he refused her again, but to Fridaus, that was just mere talks.

Narrating the genesis of his woes on Afrimax TV, Fridaus recounted how his lover, after several years of courting, raised the conversation on when they would tie knot.

He said at that time, he did not give her a befitting response as he was not sure if she was his ultimate choice.

Without giving him any reason for worry, Fridaus said she prepared dinner and after they retired to bed, she launched her deadly attack.

He recounted how he woke up in the middle of the night after perceiving the smell of smoke, only to realize that his entire body was in flames.

His lover had doused him with petrol, so much that the entire bed was soaked, after which she fled the scene.

He managed to escape, but he collapsed and fell into coma immediately the fire was doused.

He spent three years in the hospital and eventually went bankrupt after selling his entire properties for treatment.

While battling for his life, none of his relatives was by his side, except for the same culprit.

With no other option as he had been rendered bedridden, Fridaus said he forgave her and accepted her back. After he was discharged, he went ahead to cohabit with her.

Currently, they are living together with their two children; this has caused neighbours to tag Fridaus a ‘worthless lunatic’.

Passersby, who witnessed him, couldn’t fathom why one will decide to test the spiritual waters in such a dangerous manner.

Meanwhile, all attempts to shift his focus proved futile as he looked poised to finish the mission he had chosen to accomplish.

The suspect is also accused of having sex with two of his own daughters.

Commenting on the issue, 30-year-old mother, Abena Joyce told the media in an interview that her husband takes advantage of the children in her absence.

Chiefs in the area, on Thursday, poured libation to cleanse the community.

The chief of Kwahu Nsabaa, Nana Osei Twum Barimah in an interview, expressed shock over the matter, adding this is the first of its kind since he became a chief.

He said the punishment will serve as a deterrent to others.

“This is unbelievable, Nananom have poured libation to cleanse the land but it is up to the family to report the matter to the police for the necessary action to be taken. The libation was taken after the children confirmed to us that, their father has been engaging in sexual intercourse with them.

“The stepdaughter also confirmed that the man is responsible for the pregnancy, also admitting something of that sort happened,” he said.

Man arrested after broadcasting face during robbery [Video] http://34.58.148.58/man-arrested-after-broadcasting-face-during-robbery-video/ Wed, 20 Oct 2021 16:38:20 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2031512 Egyptian social media users have hailed a man who inadvertently broadcast his face to thousands of people while stealing a journalist’s phone as “the coolest thief in Egypt”.

Mahmoud Ragheb, a reporter for the news site Youm7, was livestreaming a report on social media when the thief drove by on a motorbike and seized his phone.

The broadcast then revealed the young thief’s face as he sped away from the scene casually smoking a cigarette.

Police have since announced his arrest.

According to Youm7, the incident happened on a bridge in Egypt’s fourth-largest city, Shubra Al-Khaimah, where Mr Ragheb was reporting on the after-effects of a 6.2-magnitude earthquake that rattled parts of Egypt.

Mr Ragheb was filming the bridge when his phone was grabbed roughly from his hands by the unnamed thief. Once the camera had stopped shaking it revealed the face of a young man smoking a cigarette and checking slightly nervously behind him to see if anyone was in pursuit.

MORE:

However, there was little sympathy for the intrepid reporter’s plight, with most social media users focussing on the thief’s relaxed demeanour as he snatched the phone and continued to pull on his cigarette as he made his escape.

One user commented that they had “died from laughter,” while another questioned why the man had bothered looking behind him while “the whole world is watching you”.

More than 20,000 people were watching the livestream when the theft took place and according to figures on Facebook, the video has since racked up more than 6.2 million views and 45,000 comments in a little over 24 hours.

Sadly for the thief, broadcasting his face in this way made it relatively easy for authorities to track him down. The Ministry of the Interior announced last night that it has detained him.

In a statement, the ministry said that the man is “jobless” and that he has since sold the stolen mobile to a trader.

The incident occurred on 26 Journal Square in Jersey City on Wednesday morning. Onlookers said they heard a loud sound, seemingly like an explosion, when the unidentified man crashed onto the roof of the BMW 330i and screamed loudly.

The man had jumped from an open window on the ninth floor and was later taken to a hospital where he was in a critical condition on Thursday, said Jersey City spokesperson Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione, according to a New York Post report.

It remains unclear what the man was doing inside the building. He did not identify himself or cooperate with police as of Thursday, said the report.

One of the onlookers, Christina Smith, posted photographs and graphic footage of the injured man on her social media. Ms Smith was quoted by the Post as saying that she “didn’t think it [the crash] was a person at first.”

The unnamed man was rushed to Flores Hospital where half his skull had to be opened so the doctor could free the rod from his brain during four hours of surgery by senior neurosurgeon, Dr Abhinav Gupta.

Dr Gupta removed parts of the 24-year-old’s skull and placed them under the sub-cutaneous pouch of his abdomen – a practice used to keep the skull fragment viable while allowing the brain to swell and easing blood flow to the organ.

With 20 active bidders starting at $4.8m during the 10-minute auction, bids escalated in the final three minutes of the sale.

Initially, about 7,600 people registered to bid from 159 countries, the company said.

The winner, whose identity has not been announced, will join the Amazon founder Bezos and his brother Mark on the flight.

Jeff Bezos

The 11-minute, automated flight – the company’s 16th but first carrying humans – will lift off from Van Horn, Texas.

The capsule will carry as many as six passengers, though the company has not yet revealed who else will be onboard.

Last week, Bezos, who will step down as Amazon’s chief executive officer 15 days before the flight, posted on Instagram: “Ever since I was five years old, I’ve dreamed of traveling to space. On July 20th, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend.”

MORE:

The trip comes amid increasing competition between some of the world’s wealthiest men.

Blue Origin is vying with Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies and the Richard Branson-backed Virgin Galactic Holdings to offer trips to space, with Branson’s Virgin craft also expected to launch passengers soon after from a space centre near Truth or Consequences in New Mexico.

Bezos, who has been spending about $1bn a year from his Amazon fortune to fund Blue Origin, has compared space tourism to the barnstormers whose stunt flying enlivened the early days of aviation.

Passengers, the company has said, must be between 5ft and 6ft 4in tall, weighing 110-223lb. They must also be able to climb seven flights of stairs at the launch tower in less than 90 seconds and sit strapped in the vehicle for as long as 90 minutes without access to a lavatory.

Further, they should be able to withstand gravitational forces of as much as 5.5 times the person’s normal weight during descent and three times the weight for as long as two minutes on ascent.

The company has said the auction price will be donated to Blue Origin’s foundation, Club for the Future, whose stated mission “is to inspire future generations to pursue careers in Stem (science, technology, engineering, and math) and to help invent the future of life in space.”

Police in the Central Region are, therefore, appealing to the general public to assist them to arrest her.

The wife has been granted bail because she is breastfeeding her newly born baby.

The couple buried their two-year-old baby alive on the advice of the prophetess at Brakwa Awoyom, a suburb of Bremang Brakwa.

According to reports, the child was buried near the stream the community relies on for water.

The deceased’s friend, Kwaku Badu, who was last seen with him on Thursday night said he received a call about the presence of a dead body but did not know it was his friend.

“I was told someone was lying at the scene so I rushed there but the person’s face was on the ground but the fair complexion caught my attention since my friend is also fair. I turned the body, using torchlight only to find out it was him,” he narrated.

He said Mr Agyapong was a calm person, hence does not think he had issues with anyone for him to be paid back in such a manner.

The sheepish patient told doctors he had been excited about seeing a woman for a date on Sunday and “just wanted to impress her”.

READ ALSO:

He had heard that rings could be used to enlarge and strengthen a penis by forcing blood into the glans.

So he pulled a 3cm-wide (1.2 inches) steel nut from his toolbox and slipped it over his member using baby oil.

However the following day his penis had swelled painfully and he found he was unable to remove the ring.

He called emergency services on Saturday afternoon, having had the nut jammed around the base of his penis since Friday morning.

He told rescuers: “I was terrified that I would need my penis amputated.

“It had swollen so much that I thought it would burst.”

Paramedics took him to a hospital in the Thai capital.

Wince-inducing images of the procedure to remove the but were published in local media.

Medics got to work with a terrifying array of tools as the unnamed patient clung to the bed rails in agony.

One slid a thin metal sheet between the nut and his skin to protect it, while another began grinding with a spinning steel cutter.

They also used pliers to grip and bend the nut, until the man was finally released after 60 nerve-racking minutes.

He was given antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory cream to reduce the swelling.

Rescue volunteers said the man cried with pain throughout the hour-long cutting process.

Winai Pong said: “This was one of the strangest cases we have ever encountered.

“Most of the time it’s only people getting their finger stuck in a ring, so it was surprising when we arrived at the man’s house and he had his penis stuck in there.

“We knew that cutting the nut wouldn’t be a problem, as we used the same technique with finger rings, but we were just worried about the pain the man would be experiencing while removing it.”

The man was unable to make the date he had planned with a girlfriend on St Valentines Day.

But doctors said his misadventure had not left any permanent damage and his penis should function normally after a few weeks’ rest.

Man allegedly releases cobra to kill sleeping wife http://34.58.148.58/man-allegedly-releases-cobra-to-kill-sleeping-wife/ Wed, 27 May 2020 10:50:39 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=1800985 A man in Kerala, India killed his wife by letting loose a cobra in her room after failing with a viper once before, the police said on Monday.

Investigations have revealed that Sooraj, who worked in a private bank, bought the snake to kill his wife Uthra and also watched snake videos on the internet. His plan was to take away her money and gold and marry someone else, the police said.

Uthra was found dead in her house in Kollam on May 7. When her family learnt that she had been bitten by a snake, they grew suspicious. She had been bitten by a snake earlier in March as well.

They had a one-year-old son.

When the police started digging into the case, they found out that Sooraj, 27, had planned the first attempt in late February.

He arranged a highly venomous viper with the help of his friend Suresh, a snake handler. The snake bit Uthra and she was hospitalised.

ALSO READ:

She was released after a month’s treatment and she went to her parents’ home.

After the first attempt, Sooraj allegedly bought a cobra from the same friend in April.

On May 6, Sooraj threw the snake at his sleeping wife. He allegedly sat in the bed and watched the snake bite Uthra twice. She was taken to the hospital the next morning, where she was declared dead from snakebite.

Sooraj reportedly tried to bag the snake again but it slithered away. He spent a sleepless night before reporting his wife dead. The snake was later found in the house.

When he tried to secure ownership of his wife’s property days after her death, her parents called the police.

The police say he did it for money. Sooraj received much cash and 100 sovereigns of gold in dowry but wanted to get rid of Uthra and find someone else.
