Popular Ghanaian TikTok couple arrested over concerning claims

The Tema Community Police have reportedly taken into custody Godpapa The Greatest and Empress Lupita, a couple whose videos gained significant attention on social media platforms recently. The couple’s viral content showcased concerning behavior on the TikTok platform.
Among the actions captured in the videos, Godpapa The Greatest, previously identified as a pastor, and his wife were observed engaging in activities such as smoking, which raised eyebrows within the online community.
During an interview with YouTuber Kofi TV, the couple shockingly admitted to the killing of one of their two cedhildren, claiming that the child was possessed by an evil spirit.
Empress Lupita, the children’s mother, stated that her husband foresaw a future where their son, named El Shaa, would become a demonic entity capable of spawning further demons and potentially causing harm to Ghana and the world. In order to protect the nation, they believed it was necessary to sacrifice him.
In a subsequent interview with Kofi TV, the surviving child, an 8-year-old who managed to escape from his parents, confirmed that his brother, El Shaa, was indeed murdered by his mother and father. The young boy revealed that his parents had poisoned El Waa through ‘gari soakings’, and when the intended outcome failed to occur, they buried him alive.
Additionally, the boy made several allegations of mistreatment against his parents.
According to the young survivor, his parents would occasionally defecate in a bucket and later blend it to prepare soup for them to consume along with banku, a local dish.
In light of the disturbing revelations made by the child and the incriminating content captured in the viral videos, the Tema Community Two police have reportedly apprehended the couple. It is reported that the authorities will involve them in their ongoing investigations regarding this tragic incident.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.

Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.

He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.

“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.

President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.

He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.

He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.

“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
