A teenager from Amasaman ghosted his court date after allegedly jacking five sheep worth 15,000 cedis, and the judge issued a warrant to drag him in. Alhassan Yunus supposedly stole the animals from his neighbor, Mohammed Seidu, before selling them to Mariwan Amadu to settle a debt. Amadu claimed the sheep wandered off to graze and never came back.
Cops tracked down Yunus after Seidu noticed his flock was missing, and the kid apparently admitted everything. Amadu got arrested later and copped to receiving the stolen livestock. Both suspects are catching charges for their roles in the scheme, and the case got pushed to mid-December.

WAEC dropped results for the 2025 exams, and they absolutely wrecked 653 students who brought phones into the testing rooms by canceling everything they wrote. Another 6,295 kids got their subject scores wiped because they smuggled in cheat sheets, textbooks, and printed material.

Child Online Africa called out the Education Minister after he admitted high school kids are watching porn on government tablets because nobody turned on the blocking features yet.

Two cops in Ghana got hit with 13 years behind bars for running drugs, and the court basically said they torched whatever trust people had left in the force. One dude got seven years, and his buddy got six after they were busted at a checkpoint with narcotics stashed in their ride.
Prosecutors laid out how these officers used their badges to move illegal stuff around, and a joint security team caught them during surveillance. The judge went hard on them because they completely violated their positions.
Ghana Police said they're happy with the ruling and doubled down on cleaning house. People online are split between being disappointed that this happened and being glad the court didn't go easy on them.
Ghana police shut down rumors about their top cop dying, and they called the whole thing malicious garbage that needs to stop. Inspector General Christian Tetteh Yohuno is apparently doing fine and still running things, but fake reports spread around saying he was dead. Officials warned that whoever started this mess will face charges because spreading false info breaks the law.
The police told everyone to chill out and stick to official channels instead of passing around random claims that freak people out for no reason. Yohuno just got his job extended for another two years by President John Mahama, and he's supposed to keep working on security reforms and fixing up the force.

Instead of doing what he promised, Gumunyu apparently dumped everything into his EcoCash wallet, and then he started moving chunks of it to his Africabet account. The whole amount got wiped out through gambling losses, and the dude showed up in court over the weekend to face the charges.
