MZBEL RAPIST DEAD!

Ebenezer Obese, the 35-year-old leader of a gang that raped and robbed popular Ghanaian Musician Mzbel, has been confirmed dead.

According to a police report, the body of Obese was dumped at the Police Hospital morgue by a lady believed to be his girlfriend, after which she bolted.

Recounting the deceased’s robbery escapades to the media, the Accra Regional Police Crime Officer, Chief Superintendent Frank Adufati said Obese, on September 2006, attacked Nana Ekua Amoah aka Mzbel and her girls at their New Gbawe residence, after robbing them of various sums of money and items including two DVD players, CE and cassette player a digital video camera, an Epson Laptop, Jewelry, cloths and five mobile phones.

The deceased again led the same gang to attack a filling station in 2007, but luck eluded him when police grabbed him in the process.
The deceased was later released after spending months on remand by a High Court in 2013.

Upon his release, the suspects again formed another gang that snatched a number of cars from their owners. Some of the cars sold by the deceased were later retrieved and given back to their owners.

Until his death, Obese was declared wanted by the police for a number of car snatching cases. On Monday January 6, 2014, according to Chief Superintendent Adufati, the police had information that Obese was on admission at the Ashongman Community Clinic.

When police proceeded to the health facility, they were told the deceased had been referred to the Ridge Hospital. Later, around 5:30 pm, police again received information that the body of Obese had being brought to the Police Hospital morgue for preservation.

According to information gathered by the police, a lady who only gave her name as Agartha, after presenting the body to the mortuary attendants, asked permission to attend nature’s call but never returned.

Efforts are being made by the police to contact the family of the deceased, so they would pick up the body.

AGYA KOO GOES CASUAL

Popular actor Agya Koo appeared at the recently held Ghana Movie Awards dressed in a slim-fit T-shirt and a pair of trousers, totally disregarding the formal dress code: traditional or black tuxedo for men.

Interestingly, aside the surprise his attire drew at the event, Agya Koo was almost ignored as if he was an unknown person.

The cold reception given him was in sharp contrast to the rousing welcome given to Kwadwo ‘Lil Win’ Nkansah.

Lil Win literally became the centre of attraction at the ceremony

It was strange that Agya Koo could dress so casually, when at previous editions of the GMAs, he had dressed appropriately.

Meanwhile, Agya did not pick up an award at the ceremony.

"ABOAGYE" TELLS HIS STORY...

George Nii Armah Quaye, host of The Pundits on GH ONE, has revealed how he found his way to the top of his profession and continues to climb the ladder of success.

His is the story of a primary schoolboy who dared to venture, a curious teenager full of adventure and a young man with a burning desire for success and a determination to make the best of whatever comes his way.

Aside hosting The Pundits, The Challenge, and one entertainment or corporate event every other weekend, George works as a Senior Events Producer/Director and Head of Media, Brands and Communication for Charter House.

His popularity started rising about a decade and a half ago, when he played ‘Aboagye’ in the then hit TV comedy series, Taxi Driver. Many may not remember that when George was much younger, he actually acted in Uncle George Laing’s kids TV show, Kyekyekule.

George Quaye recently explained to Eddy Blay how he moved from Kyekyekuke to his current position:

“Everyone has dreams as a child. Mine was to be a lawyer. But when I was in primary school, something happened. The TV programme ‘Kyekyekule’ needed someone to play President Rawlings in a sketch. The guy who was playing him had the look and everything but couldn’t quite pull off the voice. So one day I was standing there watching the rehearsals and I’m not sure what came over me but I shouted that I could do it better. They asked me to try it and I nailed it, even without a script. I ended up landing the role. I think that was my calling of some sorts.

After JSS, I joined the drama club, karate club and almost every other club that was available. I soon enrolled in David Dontoh’s theatre company. Then I heard that Village Communications was auditioning for a TV show called Taxi Driver. I got the part alright but I soon realized that I was more into the behind the scenes aspect of entertainment. I scripted a full season of the show, and started to think like a director and producer. I then went to the School of Performing Arts in Legon where I pursued my Bachelor’s Degree in Film and TV. I went back to Village Communications as a producer.

In 2006 I joined Charter House as a copywriter, but soon found myself in production, working on all Charter House events, from Miss Maliaka to Ghana Music Awards. In a nutshell, that’s it!

APPRECIATION: 2013 WAS AMAZING IN MY CAREER - NADIA

Nadia Buari Says Thank You…

The year 2013 marked a memorial period in my life. It was the year of an amazing success in my career. The year when my directorial debut, "The Diary Of Imogen Brown" received the biggest premier ever in Ghana (Accra, Takoradi and Kumasi).

I couldn’t be grateful to God for anything more than His blessings in 2013.

It is impossible to forget 2013, the year when I received the honor of being the most searched Ghanaian actress. I remain indebted of gratitude to all my fans whose online reading about me made this honor a possibility.

2013 led to the discovery of the impact my fans, my family, my friends, my foes and my faith in God made on me. My fans in 2013 were simply incredible. Together in your thousands we broke all the premiering records in Ghana. I am deeply indebted to you for your love and patience.

My family is my team and my team is success. This is how my family helped to influence my success last year. Their sleepless nights have given birth to the day in which we shall all remain glad and rejoice. Thank you for how you endured the odds to ensure you even every challenge that came our way.

Through all the times, in all times and at all times my friends showed themselves friendly all the way to making success a collective possibility. To you all who was there for me, I pray God will be there for you this year.

I can’t forget how the criticisms of foes impacted my life. For while the love of my fans, family and friends warmed and cushioned me, the odium of my foes warned and cautioned me.

But during this period of different experiences in 2013, the faith I kept in God kept me, and the same faith I fought for, also fought for me to make all things work together for my good.

It will be very hard to forget 2013 because it was the year when what I believe in people made people believe in me. This was the driving force behind of my success last year – my belief.

Aside these, my personal success affiliates are my associates in business and sponsors who believed in my brand to either support me or do business with me. To you I will remain forever indebted. The days ahead will put us ahead of our competitors.

To all of you my fellow industry players, partners and producers who helped advance my talent, I remain obliged. Your input has determined the output of this Nadiamania the whole world sees. Thank you!

I also owe a lot of love and gratitude to my fans overseas whose continuous reading about me helped me become the most searched actress in Ghana. I promise to keep you reading this year with more positive weightier matters. I’m grateful!

The part social media played in my success last year cannot be overemphasized. My loyal fans on Twitter and other media networks whose love and encouragement saw me through the year, I pray God’s grace helps you run your race this year without much hurdles. Just know I love you dearly!
To you special people who watching Nadia in a movie is a delight, I wish you all, all you wish for yourself in 2014.

For buying and watching my movies all these years especially in 2013, I say you will never lack any good thing this New Year.  For by you I was kept at the apex through the whole year. Thank you so much!

My friends of the press, I press on by your writings. Your input cannot be measured, but treasured as one that kept me on top. To you I say, the Spot you shed Light on, made me the SpotLight of millions. Thank you! I revere our partnership.

Once again, To my fans all over the world, I say a big thank you and Happy New Year to all of you! I love you all dearly!

Having achieved all these successes in 2013, in this 2014 we shall attempt the impossible together with God!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Highlife legend Daddy Lumba has composed a song for his friend and former Asante Kotoko board chairman Kennedy “Cappuccino” Agyepong.

The special track, which is on Daddy Lumba's latest album, is titled ‘‘Ye Nea Woho Be Tor Wo’’- literally meaning, ‘do what pleases you’.
