Muntaka deploys sniffer dogs at Ghana airport after scanner meltdown
Ghana brings out the drug sniffing dogs because all the airport scanners broke down. Interior Minister Alhaji Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka told Parliament that the government will buy brand new body and baggage scanners instead of fixing the busted ones. The Ministry crunched the numbers and decided buying new equipment made way more sense than repairing the broken machines. MP John Ntim Fordjour asked the urgent question about what the government plans to do about the scanner mess. The Minister said the new scanners will pack better technology to catch drug smugglers and other bad guys.

Ghana police unmask gruesome ritual cult at Gblorkope shrine in Volta
Police have smashed a deadly ritual killing gang after finding human remains at a shrine in Gblorkope. The horror discovery came after months of detective work following a missing person report filed by Comfort Hatse from Donkorkrom. Her son Nelson Anyana had vanished after meeting Augustina Fiawoyife at Mafi-Adidome on December 4. The 28-year-old trader never came home and his mother feared the worst. Investigators quickly uncovered a twisted plot involving jealousy and murder for money. The police say herbalist Wisdom Hedidor killed Nelson because he was jealous of his girlfriend Fiawoyife talking to the victim. Fetish priest Gblor Noah had asked for a human body and promised to pay 7000 Ghana cedis for the gruesome delivery. Courage...
