Land dispute: 90-yr-old man burnt to death; 2 arrested

Nai Kofi Ashiao, a 90-year old man from Awutu Oshimpo Number One in the Awutu Senya West District of the Central Region, has died after he was allegedly set ablaze by assailants believed to be linked to a land dispute.

Two suspects have since been detained by the Awutu Breku police.

Confirming the incident to Citi News, the Awutu Breku District Police Commander, ASP Johnson Hessey, said the incident occurred around 1:00am today [Thursday].

“Some gentlemen together with the Fire Service, came to the Charge Office that their grandfather’s house was burning seriously, so we proceeded to the house. When we got there, the Fire Service had finished putting out the fire”, he said.

ASP Hessey said an eyewitness, who’s the deceased’s son, said he was sleeping in the open when he saw some men in shorts emerge from a car close to the house.

He said the men had some containers which he believed contained the inflammable chemicals used to carry out the dastardly act.

According to the police, the son out of suspicion, ran to call a friend to help him monitor the men’s action, only to return to find the house in flames. The men then bolted in their car.

The deceased’s son identified two of the suspects as well as the car in question, leading to the arrest of the two.

An ongoing land case

The police further revealed that there is already a case under investigation at the Awutu Breku Police Station, where some persons have allegedly used a fake thumbprint of the deceased to sell a land.

The Police say the late Nai Ashiao, who was the head of the Oyoko Gate I Family, had been helping with that particular investigation until his death.

ASP Hessey told Citi News the suspected case of arson has now been taken over by the Kasoa Divisional Police Command, while investigations continue.

Ghana Ranks 1st in World Manhood Ranking

A graph revealing the average size of a man’s erect penis from all over the world has surfaced online and Africa is topping the list. Ghanaian men have the world’s largest penises, while Nigerian ranks 5th according to the latest ranking. South African men are ranked at number 10.

Nigeria is in the top five with Gabon, Jamaica, and Haiti. Target Map published a graph showing the differing lengths of a male’s manhood size across the World and Africa, Western Africa particular, takes the top spot.

Easter celebrations: 3 drown at Tawala beach on Good Friday

Three persons are reported dead after they drowned at the Tawala Beach at La in Accra. The deceased were part of a youth fellowship team of fifteen people who went to the beach to pray on Good Friday. The incident occurred after some of the team members decided to swim after their prayer session. In an attempt to save their drowning friend, the two others also drowned. Speaking to Citi News, a brother of one of the deceased, Kwame Mac-Joseph, said the absence of lifeguards at the Tawala beach is to blame for the deaths. “In the course of the swimming, one person was drowning and the next person wanted to help and he got drowned. The third person who also wanted to help also got drowned.” He said some of the onlookers were unwilling to help because they were not experienced enough in swimming, and were also terrified. “There was no rescue team or indigenous people readily available to help. The onlookers were looking at this three gentlemen drowning.” “We just received a call ...
