Taxi driver kills police officer at Doblo

taxi driver who was allegedly resisting arrest has killed a 44-year-old police officer attached to the Formed Police Unit (FPU) at the Doblo Barrier on the Amasaman–Nsawam Road.
According to reports, the deceased, Sergeant Owusu Appiah was attempting to open and sit in the suspect’s car when the driver of the Hyundai Getz taxi sped off, knocking him in the process.
Brother of the deceased, Charles Adjei Oduro, in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, said the suspect taxi driver who was heading towards Nsawam from Amasaman attempted overtaking a Toyota Corolla private car in front of him but damaged the left side mirror of the vehicle in the process.
Both drivers, he alleged, parked their vehicles in the middle of the road and argued over the matter, attracting the attention of Sergeant Owusu.
Mr. Oduro said his brother approached the two drivers and in an attempt to help calm tempers and remove the vehicles from the road to pave way for others, the taxi driver got infuriated and suddenly moved his car in the direction of the policeman.
“He dragged my brother into the ditch, abandoned the vehicle and bolted,” he noted.
Some police officers rushed him to the Amasaman Government Hospital where he was referred to the Police Hospital for further medical treatment but passed away.
Mr. Oduro said the deceased left behind a wife and five children who are devastated about the sudden demise of their beloved.
He was however happy the driver who escaped has been arrested and called on the police to ensure justice is serve.

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...
