A soldier belonging to the 3rd Battalion Infantry in Sunyani has been murdered in Tafia, a suburb of Ashaiman, in the Greater Accra region, on Friday, 3rd March 2023.

Imoro Sheriff, a 21-year-old boy was allegedly killed by a gang after he visited his girlfriend in the area.

Imoro, whose position could not be immediately verified, was attacked with knives and other weapons, immediately after leaving the girl­friend’s home.

It was said that Imoro usually visits his girlfriend anytime he goes to Ashaiman where he was born and raised.

When the Ghanaian Times visited the family home of Imoro, at Zongolika, a suburb of Ashaiman, on Monday, mourners were in a state of shock. The father of the deceased, Asa­nubu Imoro, confirmed the death of his son, saying he heard it via social media.

Asanubu Imoro said the son, who was based in Sunyani, Bono Region, informed him that he was attending a military programme in Accra and will visit family mem­bers on Friday.

“We were expecting him. When we called his number late into the night, there was no response. Somebody showed me a video and asked, do you know this man, that was when I identified my son.”

According to Asanubu Imoro, the military and other security agencies have been in close contact with the family as the investigation into the killing was ongoing.

When the Ghanaian Times con­tacted the Ashaiman Divisional Police Command concerning the incident, the authorities declined to speak on the matter, but indi­cated that 13 suspects had been arrested so far.

FDA warns public against two brands of contaminated sausage

The public is being warned by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) not to eat two commercially available types of contaminated sausage.

The Agricola Tre Vali sausage products under the trademarks AIA Wudy and Pavo have been recalled by Italian authorities, according to the Authority.

The FDA reported that the sausages contain listeria bacteria in a statement it released.

Persons in possession of any of the brands were further instructed to return them to any FDA office, according to the statement.

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has been made aware of the Italian authorities’ recall of Agricola Tre Vali sausage products under the AIA Wudy and Pavo brands due to the presence of Listeria bacteria in those goods prepared from poultry meat.

The FDA launched a market surveillance effort in light of the ongoing recalls in Europe and other nations, and Pavo Frankfurt sausages with November 2022 expiration dates were discovered in Ho in the Volta Region.

Since then, the goods have been kept for secure disposal.

“AIA Wudy sausages haven’t been discovered on our market yet. Anyone in possession of the aforementioned products is instructed by the FDA to bring them right away to either our national headquarters or one of our regional offices across the nation.

The statement went on to say, “The FDA wishes to reassure the public that its surveillance teams continue to monitor the markets for any of the above-mentioned items.
