60-year old dies from bee attack

A sixty year old farmer, Kweku Broni lost his life after he was attacked by bees at Koti in the Brong Ahafo region in Ghana.

Kweku Broni according to Yankee FM reporter, Prince Williams was attacked by the bees after he went to farm on a day declared as a sacred day.

According to him, the chiefs and elders in the community decided to pray to the gods to offer stricter punishment for persons that break the taboo that prevents persons from going to farm on the sacred days.

Despite knowing the sacred day, the late Broni was said to have decided to go to his farm on that day with the excuse that he was only going to bring some food home.

“However, just as he started digging in his farm, he was attacked by a swarm of bees which beat mercilessly until he became unconscious…,” Prince William stated.

The wife of the deceased who arrived in the farm on time could not save her dying husband as he was too weak. The farmer therefore died in the farm.

Ada speaks at last

The

controversial YFM presenter in Ghana, Adaeze Onyinyechie Ayoka aka Ms Ada, who has been on admission at the Police Hospital after stag­ing her own kidnapping and gang- raping, has finally given out her statement to the police.

The Accra Regional Crime Officer, Chief Superintendent Paul Kontomah, confirmed to Daily Guide that Ada had given her own statement but declined to reveal its content.

He said the police were waiting patiently for Ms Ada to be officially discharged by doctors attending to her for her to assist them in their investigations.

Meanwhile, information gathered indicates that she is still in bed at the Police Hospital under 24-hour police guard. Ada allegedly receives regular telephone calls from friends but pretends to be sick when the investigator-in-charge of the case visits her at the hospital.

The radio presenter and four other people reportedly staged the rape and kidnapping episode at a hotel at Abossey Okai in Accra, as told by the police and corroborated by the hotel owner in a later inter­view with Daily Guide.

I.J Frimpong, the owner of Joeregi Hotel located at the heart of the Abossey Okai spare parts mar­ket, said he rented out the hotel room to Ada and her gang upon being told that they were going to act a movie.

An 18-year-old painter, Nelson William, who was arrested on April 14, 2015 as an accomplice in the 'gang-rape' scandal, confirmed to the police that he was only carrying out the wish of Ada.

He been granted bail, as investigation in to the case continues.
