Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko believes his club Eskisehirspor can produce another famous result when they face giants Galatasaray in the Turkish top flight on Saturday.

The Madina Magistrate Court, presided over by Mr Ernest K. A. Adjanor, has sentenced a 28-year-old unemployed man, Dicko Haruna, to 12 months’ imprisonment  with hard labour for fraud. Haruna, a Malian, was sentenced on his own plea of guilty. The prosecutor, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Patience Mario, said in July 24, 2013, Haruna met the complainant, Enoch Ndibol, in Accra Central and pretended to have lost his way. He therefore pleaded with him to direct him to the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. On their way to the park, the prosecutor said, Haruna told Ndibol he was into money doubling business and gave his mobile phone number to Ndibol and asked him to call him later for a deal. DSP Mario said later, Ndibol and a witness in the case met Haruna around the Independence Square in Accra, where he showed them a GH¢1 note and told them it was counterfeit, and that he could change it to real money. The prosecutor said Haruna then collected GH¢4 in GH¢1 denominations from Ndibol, and added them to his note and poured some liquid on them. After some time, he gave the money back to Ndibol to check if it was genuine money. She said when Ndibol told him it was real money, Haruna brought out eight bundles of black paper cut to the size of the local currency notes and then asked Ndibol to bring him $6,000 so that he could change the said black papers into $40,000. The prosecutor, DSP Mario, said on July 24, 2013, Haruna met Ndibol at East Legon, a suburb of Accra, apparently to collect the $6,000 from him. According to the prosecutor, Ndibol alerted the police, who waylaid Haruna and arrested him. When Haruna was searched after the arrest, the police found GH¢1 note and eight bundles of black papers cut in the shape and size of cedi notes. Haruna, DSP Mario said, claimed the items were given to him by a certain man but had refused to mention the name of the person or lead the police to the fellow.  Mr Adjanor also said the black pieces of paper should be set ablaze in public, which has been done accordingly.

The Agona Swedru Circuit Court, presided over by Mr Yaw Atta Sampong, has imposed a GH¢1,800 fine on a driver, Yaw Yeboah, for reckless driving which claimed the lives of a taxi driver and a passenger on the spot on the outskirts of Mankomeda, near Awutu Bawjiase in the Central Region. Richard Armah, the taxi driver, and Veronica Darko (43), a passenger, died in the accident. The survivor of the accident, Lucy Arthur, 33, sustained injuries and had to be hospitalised for some time before she was discharged.Yeboah, 36, who initially pleaded not guilty to the charges of careless and inconsiderate driving and negligently causing harm, later changed his plea to guilty, prompting the judge to convict him on his own plea. Yeboah would serve two years’ imprisonment if he failes to pay the fine. The Akyem Swedru Circuit Court judge, Mr Sampong, doing additional duties, further ordered Yeboah to compensate Lucy with GH¢200, despite the fact that he paid for the medical bills, as well as the funeral expenses of the accident victims. The prosecutor, Inspector Alfred Boatey, said Yeboah was a Kasoa-based driver who was in charge of a tipper truck loaded with quarry chippings from Kasoa enroute to Bawjiase on November 23, 2012, at 6:05am. The prosecutor said Yeboah was negotiating a curve on the outskirts of Mankomeda when he veered off his lane into the lane of an oncoming vehicle and crashed into the taxicab being driven by Armah. According to Inspector Boatey, both vehicles got badly damaged but that it was the taxicab which got damaged beyond repair, with its driver (Armah) and a passenger aboard it (Veronica Darko, 43) dying on the spot. Inspector Boatey said the two bodies were deposited at the Winneba Municipal Hospital mortuary where an autopsy was performed after which they were released to their respective relatives for burial. He said the duplicate docket was sent to the Attorney-General’s Department in Cape Coast which later directed that Yeboah should be charged with the offences as stated on the charge sheet.
