R Kelly has tearfully and angrily denied allegations of sexual abuse in the first interview since his arrest last month. “I didn’t do this stuff. This is not me,” he told CBS This Morning, adding that he is “fighting for my life”. Chicago prosecutors have charged Kelly with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, involving four alleged victims, three of whom were minors. He pleaded not guilty to all the charges and is currently out on bail. If convicted, he faces three to seven years in prison for each crime. The case follows a 2002 trial, in which Kelly…

The Chairman and Leader of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Professor Edmun Nminyem Delle, has expressed disgust at attempts made some elements, especially the government, to distort Ghana’s history.

The Deputy Secretary General of the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC) has warned the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU) to vacate the TUC Building for renovation works to go on. According to Joshua Ansah, ICU’s position not to budge is impeding work of the contractor. Speaking exclusively to TV3’s Daniel Opoku, Mr Ansah said the claim that TUC is harassing ICU is untrue. “It is unfounded,” he stressed on Tuesday. He said the cost of renovation was amply discussed among all the 20 affiliates of the TUC and a decision was reached. But since ICU had seceded from the…

A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has asked the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to clarify invitations given to persons it wants to interrogate.

Mr Ofosu Ampofo had gone to the CID headquarters upon invitation last Thursday over a secret recording said…

Growing up, I used to get confused about sheep and goats. I usually missed out on which was a goat and which was a sheep. I wasn’t to blame after all. They looked alike. Like an eel and a snake, you could sometimes mistake one for the other. However, an eel was never a snake… and a goat could never be a sheep. They were all distinct creatures. In the same vein, lust looks like love. In the beginning, they all speak the same language but when the tests of life start walking in, one is distinguished from the other.…
