Sankore: Thugs beat up police, seize patrol vehicle for robbery

Seven armed men on Friday evening overpowered a police patrol team at Sankore, in the Brong Ahafo Region, and seized their vehicle.
The thugs, according to the police, later used the seized vehicle to undertake series of robberies at targeted locations, including the residence of the Member of Parliament (MP) of the area.
Four people, including a police officer, are currently receiving treatment for cutlass wounds following the attack.
The Asunafo South MP – whose house was robbed – Eric Opoku is convinced the robbers are members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Police have not confirmed the MP’s claim that the attackers were NPP supporters, but said their men had to abandon their patrol duties and ran for their lives.
“The police vehicle fell into a ditch; they [the distressed patrol team] pulled the driver out of the vehicle and the policemen exited the vehicle and found their way back to the police station to secure their lives,” District Police commander for Sankore, DSP Robert Akwasi Boakye, told Joy News’ Elton John Brobbey.
He said investigations are underway to apprehend the ringleader, one Godfred Amponsah, said to be a beneficiary of the Justice for All Programme.
Alleged ‘NPP thugs’
MP for Asunafo South, Eric Opoku, claims the thugs had first confronted the police at Abuom Junction which leads to Sankore, preventing them from patrolling the community.
“The NPP boys met them and told them they will not allow them to enter the town to do their patrol work. That they [ the thugs] don’t understand why they are patrolling the community,” the MP told Joy News.
However, the joint police-military patrol team had insisted and gone ahead to undertake their legitimate duty.
 “They [the attackers] did not agree with them [patrol team]. So they chased them and the police had to run,” the MP said.
No arrests have been made, however, DSP Robert Akwasi Boakye says police chiefs, including the Regional Commander, have visited the town to get first hand information about the attack on the security forces.

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. It appears countries such as Asian countries such as India, Thailand and South Korea are not as gifted in terms of ‘eggplant’ as they are sitting at the bottom of the table. 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.

Mauritania court gives toughest sentence for slave owners

Two slave owners in Mauritania have been jailed in a country where slavery remains widespread but convictions rare, activists say. The sentences of 10 and 20 years are said to be the toughest-ever for the crime in the West African country. Slavery was outlawed in 1981 but 1% of the population are still living in bondage, human rights groups say. Black people of certain ethnic groups are often enslaved as domestic workers by lighter-skinned Mauritanians. The country has jailed more anti-slavery activists than slave owners, rights groups say. The court in the north-western town of Nouadhibou gave a 20-year prison sentence to Hamoudi Ould Saleck. His father – who died before the trial ended – received the same sentence posthumously. Both were accused of “reducing to slavery” a family, two of whom were children. A woman, Revea Mint Mohamed, was jailed for 10 years for keeping three slaves – one of whom was a 29-year-old who had been kept since she was a small girl. Both cases had...
