Emmanuella Sam accused of GHC3m car fraud
A group of 29 individuals, led by Rev. Lionel Lawson, has petitioned authorities over an alleged fraud involving Emmanuella Sam.
She is accused of collecting GH₵3,390,000.00 from the group for the purchase of 38 vehicles through a private auction.
The complainants claim the deal was allegedly facilitated through connections linked to Ghana’s Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah.
According to the petitioners, the vehicles were never delivered as agreed. They further allege that Emmanuella Sam became unreachable after receiving the funds.
The matter has since been reported to the authorities.

Popular NPP executive defects to NDC

The young politician reportedly left the NPP to join the NDC due to what he described as the good works of the ruling party in the Sissala West Constituency.
In a video circulating on social media, Abdul Razak was formally accepted and inducted into the NDC by its National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, who was in the constituency as part of his “Thank You Tour” of the Upper West Region.
