According to reports from media personality Ola Michaels, who cited family sources, Florence and her relatives travelled to present the drinks to Bishop Obinim’s father, who accepted them without objection. In Ghanaian custom, this act is not casual; it formally communicates a woman’s intention to dissolve the marriage and invites the husband’s family to acknowledge the end of the union.

While neither Florence nor Bishop Obinim had issued a detailed joint public statement as of early September, the narrative emerging from insiders points to long-standing marital strain. Florence’s side is said to have grown tired of what they describe as persistent disrespect, insults, and disgrace within the relationship, which ultimately made reconciliation seem impossible. Over time, such patterns can erode trust and affection, especially in a public marriage where private conflicts are magnified by media attention and church dynamics.

The separation appears to be the culmination of years of unresolved tension rather than a single incident. Once Florence’s family concluded that the situation was untenable, they resorted to the culturally recognised route of returning the marriage drinks, effectively closing the chapter after about 21–22 years together. In the aftermath, fresh details have surfaced about property disputes and the couple’s children, with some reports claiming Bishop Obinim has indicated Florence may not share in certain assets they built together, though these claims remain part of an unfolding story.

For now, the core of the breakup, as reported, is a breakdown in mutual respect and dignity over a long period, leading Florence’s family to take the traditional step that formally signals the end of the marriage.

The simple question people ask is how and why they separated.

Originally, the road distance between Accra and Kumasi via the N6 highway measured about 198.7 kilometres. Still, the new expressway adopts a direct, purpose-built alignment that trims the journey to 176 kilometers, cutting travel time from up to 8 hours to about 2 hours. As of early September 2026, the military team has completed 99.8% of corridor clearing, with full handover expected imminently to enable construction of the six-lane, dual-carriageway expressway, projected for completion by 2028.

Slash transport costs for passengers and freight, boosting trade between Ghana’s two largest cities. Enhance road safety by eliminating dangerous stretches of the old N6 and reducing accident risks. Stimulate regional development, creating jobs and attracting investment along the corridor, including in agriculture and logistics. Strengthen national cohesion, linking communities more efficiently and supporting social mobility. The expressway will also benefit Ghana’s neighbors Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire—who rely on Ghana’s ports for imports and exports:

Faster cargo movement from Tema and Takoradi ports to inland destinations. Reduced logistics costs, making Ghana’s ports more competitive regionally. Improved trade corridors that support ECOWAS integration and cross-border commerce. Dubbed a “first-class road in Africa”, the Accra–Kumasi Expressway represents Ghana’s bold leap into world-class infrastructure, promising to redefine travel, trade, and regional connectivity by 2028.

According to the mayor, criticism is an important part of democratic governance, but it should be constructive and fair. He said public officials must be prepared to account for their actions and accept legitimate criticism; however, journalists and bloggers should not use their platforms to insult, demean or spread false claims about individuals.

Hon. Agyei Mensah alleged that one particular journalist frequently insults him with impunity. He stressed that while challenges within the municipality should be reported, the media should also acknowledge positive developments and achievements.

The mayor said some media practitioners require professional and psychological support to help address behaviour that promotes hostility, personal attacks, and abusive language. He appealed to journalists, bloggers and social media commentators to protect public peace by verifying information before publication and avoiding inflammatory remarks.

The Bono East Director of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, Lawyer Nana Kwaku Kumi, charged the media with upholding ethical standards and avoiding bias, misinformation, and personal attacks. He noted that the media plays a frontline role in informing the public and shaping national debate, making responsible reporting essential.

Lawyer Kumi explained that hate speech can include language that degrades, threatens, or harasses a person or group, harming their dignity, reputation, and social standing. He added that hateful expression may target people because of their ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, or other identity.

He further reminded participants that freedom of speech is a constitutional right, but it is not unlimited. People can be held accountable when their speech violates others’ rights, damages reputations through false allegations, incites violence, or threatens public order. The discussion therefore encouraged citizens and media practitioners to express opinions firmly but respectfully.

At the heart of the school’s vision is a bold commitment to technology. As the world turns increasingly digital, Stellar Edge begins its teaching journey straight away with robotics and artificial intelligence at the basic level, equipping young minds with the skills of tomorrow from their very first days in the classroom.

The school has been duly accredited by the Ghana Education Service (GES), meaning it will operate strictly in line with national rules and regulations while pursuing its ultimate goal of providing access to tertiary education.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Dr Emmanuel V. Aleser explained the school’s far-reaching ambition. He noted that because becoming a medical specialist requires years of dedicated study, a health college will be established to help reduce the stress of students and parents who would otherwise travel long distances to seek admission.

Dr Aleser stressed that Stellar Edge is not limited to pupils from Aniyima and Kaniago. “The school is going to benefit Ghanaians at large,” he said, underscoring a mission of high-quality, child-centered education.

The facilities reflect that promise. From nursery to Primary 3, classrooms are completely furnished with modern tables and chairs, and the school provides buses to pick pupils up from their homes and return them safely at the close of the day. The school’s package also includes uniforms and feeding.

The landlord, Akwakumuhene of Techiman, commended Dr Aleser for the education complex and assured him of the needed support. He pleaded with parents to make good use of the institution, which he described as one of the best in the region. Nana Akwakuhene, together with her sub-chiefs and mother, including Dr Kessi among others, officially commissioned the school.

With technology, care and community support combined, Stellar Edge School of Excellence is poised to shape the leaders of Ghana’s future.

The Krobohene expressed disappointment that they had not done anything for the institution, describing the situation as bitter and painful and adding that only God knows the role he played before its establishment. The up-and-down movement to meet the establishment was like magic, yet people don’t acknowledge that. Nana concluded that the outcome of the students’ demonstration will pave the way for the best result.

The Techiman North Municipal Chief Executive, Adom Johnson, and his team attended the occasion in their numbers. He disclosed that the Member of Parliament, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has assured that all road networks in Krobo, including the two hostels of the nursing training college, would be fixed soon once contractors are on-site.

Dr Asa Akompanin, Krobohene, Kyidomhehe and Kyidomhene of the Techiman Traditional Council have rounded off this year’s three-day yam festival at the Krobo Royal Palace with a thanksgiving service on Sunday.

The celebration, which opened on Friday, saw the traditional ruler break new ground by leading the festival with prayer—a practice he has upheld for over a decade and pioneered among chiefs of the Techiman Traditional Council. Dr Akompanin explained that he turned to prayer after the gods of Krobo were stolen and could not be traced. Realising the gods had proven powerless, since an individual could carry them off without consequence, he decided to make supplication his sole reliance. In keeping with this stance, the Krobohene accepts no form of alcohol during the festival, where traditional dishes such as yam fufu and ampesi are served to the public free of charge.

The traditional ruler made the remarks during the yam festival celebration at Kenten Palace, stressing that he will never entertain drug addiction at Kenten. He noted that persons who abuse drugs and alcohol are often the ones recorded in robbery cases, linking substance abuse directly to rising criminal activity in the area.

Nana Antwi Boasiako called on all stakeholders to make the fight against drug addicts a collective concern, urging everyone from parents to community leaders to play their part in protecting the youth from the dangers of narcotics.

The chief also appealed to parents to take their wards’ education with all seriousness, describing it as a vital tool for securing a better future. He further pleaded with parents and teachers to re-engage the youth in traditional culture, including indigenous music, local food, and traditional modes of dressing.

According to the Kentenhene, reconnecting young people with their cultural roots would help instill discipline and a sense of identity, steering them away from negative influences. He expressed optimism that a combination of sound education, strong parental guidance, and cultural pride would safeguard the future of the youth in his jurisdiction.

The call adds to growing efforts by traditional authorities in the Bono East Region to combat drug abuse and its associated crimes among the youth.

He expressed concern that some women, who were expected to educate the youth on the dangers of drugs and alcohol, have instead become key players in the very menace. Nana Gyamfi Kumanyini urged stakeholders, especially parents and community leaders, to rise to the occasion and help protect the younger generation from a future that has been “blackmailed” by substance abuse.

His queen mother, Nana Yaa Safoaa Akyiri, also cautioned the youth against teenage pregnancies, which she noted mostly affect school-going-age girls and derail their education. Nana Hemaa pleaded with parents to pay more attention to their wards’ education and upbringing, stressing that the home is the first line of defense in shaping responsible citizens.

The festival was marked with traditional rites performed by Nananom, blending age-old customs with modern style. The celebration was livened up with the playing of Daddy Lumba’s popular song “Obi Atomeso Bour,” which set the tone for a joyful yet solemn gathering.

The Yam Festival, a key cultural event in the area, served as an opportunity for the traditional authorities to reaffirm their commitment to safeguarding the moral and educational future of the youth, even as they celebrated the harvest and the community’s unity.

For the Akans, the Yam Festival stands as their grandest occasion, and this year’s edition was hosted under the auspices of Nana Apenten Fosu Gyeabour, the Hansuahene and Abanmuhene of the Techiman Traditional Council.

Ahead of the climax of the occasion, the community engaged in a clean-up exercise, followed by a series of games including football, draughts, and other playful activities. Four teams took part in the football competition, with the home team, Hansua, emerging victorious and taking home a jersey and cap. The other three teams each received jerseys, and all participating teams were presented with cash prizes for their involvement. The palace charged when the ENCOM Association of Nana MMA displayed their jama songs.

The two-day celebration was packed into the palace auditorium, drawing a large and enthusiastic crowd. However, the festival was not only about celebration. In his address, Nana Apenten Fosu Gyeabour issued a strong caution to the youth against drug addiction and alcohol abuse. He lamented that today’s youth treat drugs and alcohol as fun, warning that such habits are dangerous. He further noted that women are increasingly falling into alcohol and drug use and stressed that it is the duty of everyone to address this growing canker within society.

The festival, therefore, served both as a joyful reunion and a timely reminder of the values and vigilance needed to preserve the health and future of the community.

The head of the Sisirease family in Wenchi, Nana Kwadwo Yeboah, has strongly rejected a claim by the Omanhene of the Wenchi Traditional Council, Osagyefo Ampem Anye Amoampong Tabrako, that the traditional council owns the family’s ancestral lands.

Speaking to Nkyeremu News, Nana Yeboah said no previous paramount chief of Wenchi had claimed ownership of the Sisirease family’s lands. He therefore described the recent claim as unacceptable and urged all parties to handle the matter with caution to protect the peace and unity of the community.

Nana Kwadwo Yeboah explained that any disagreement between himself and Nana Akora Tuah, the Sisirease family’s Twafohene, was personal and should not be linked to the ownership or administration of the family’s lands.

He further declared the family’s continued support for Nana Akora Tuah to remain in his position as Twafohene. According to him, Nana Akora Tuah had played a central role in the family’s affairs and contributed significantly to its unity and development.

“Nana Akora Tuah has been a pillar of the family, and it would be ungrateful to deny the role he has played,” Nana Yeboah said.

He added that the Sisirease family had maintained a cordial relationship with the Omanhene until the recent publication, which he said had created tension among members of the traditional community.

Nana Akora Tuah, for his part, pledged to continue working to advance the Sisirease family. “I will lead my family to do all that I can to help build a better family,” he stated.

He also appealed to the Omanhene to come to the dialogue table to resolve the matter amicably. Nana Akora Tuah said constructive dialogue remained the best way to settle the disagreement and preserve peace within the Wenchi Traditional Council and the Sisirease family.

Speaking to a gathering of family members, Nana Akora Tua noted that he has served as Twafohene for more than 25 years without any confrontation with any chief, including any of the past paramount chiefs. He asked why such a move was being made now and what had actually happened to warrant it.

The family, which assembled in response to the Omanhene’s statements, expressed strong disagreement with the attempt to destool the Sisirease royal seat. They described the action as divisive and warned that it could undermine the unity of the Wenchi Traditional Council. The Sisirease Royal Family of Wenchi plays key roles in traditional rites, and the deciders of enstoolment cannot be ignored. Wenchi history tells it all.

Nana Akora Tua concluded by appealing for calm, saying that if peace prevails, it will foster the development that everyone in the Wenchi Traditional Area is seeking. He urged all parties to engage in dialogue and due process rather than escalate tensions through public declarations.

The dispute comes shortly after the Wenchi Omanhene posted the indefinite suspension of the Twafohene on social media.
