Content creator, Humble Soul, has revealed that Jarvis, the newly-wedded wife of TikToker Peller, was the one who introduced him and his daughter Najat to the star.

In an emotional post, Humble Soul said the connection came through Jarvis, describing the moment as ‘very touching.’

‘Jarvis was the one that introduced me and my beautiful daughter to Peller,’ he stated.

The admission has sparked reactions online, with fans praising Jarvis for extending love and support beyond just her marriage to Peller.

Peller and Jarvis tied the knot recently in a widely celebrated ceremony that drew attention across social media. Since then, the couple has been praised for their openness and the way they engage with fans and fellow creators.

The couple has also been seen with Humble Soul and his daughter in Lagos, Nigeria, making memories.

Humble Soul’s revelation adds another layer to the goodwill surrounding the couple, with many commending Jarvis for using her platform to uplift others.

Humble Soul and Najat drew widespread public attention following a custody dispute with the child’s mother’s family, an emotional public appeal, subsequent community support from figures like Afia Schwarzenegger, and a reported temporary reconciliation or understanding between the parents.

Humble Soul raised Nayat as a single father from infancy after her mother, Shantel, returned to school. A high-profile online dispute arose when the mother’s family sought custody, prompting an emotional plea from Humble Soul.

The parents later reached an arrangement for shared time, with Nayat staying primarily with her father and visiting her mother.

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has commemorated World Breastfeeding Week 2026, calling for stronger measures to protect, promote and support breastfeeding in the country under the theme, ‘Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works.’

In a press statement issued yesterday, the Authority urged government, healthcare professionals, employers, families, communities and development partners to strengthen policies and programmes that have been effective in improving breastfeeding outcomes.

It stated that breastfeeding remains one of the most effective and cost-efficient public health interventions for improving child survival, nutrition and development, noting that breast milk provides the nutrients infants need during the first six months of life and helps protect them against diarrhea, respiratory infections, childhood obesity and other illnesses.

It also stressed the importance of continued breastfeeding alongside appropriate complementary feeding up to two years and beyond, stating that such practice contributes to healthy growth, cognitive development and long-term well-being.

The Authority said the benefits of breastfeeding extend beyond children, adding that mothers also gain significant health benefits from the practice, citing the reduction of the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, supporting recovery after childbirth as well as strengthening the emotional bond between mothers and their children.

It added that breastfeeding can contribute to the reduction of environmental waste while supporting more sustainable food systems since breast milk is a natural and renewable source of infant nutrition which does not require manufacturing, packaging or transportation, and is environmentally sustainable.

It further cited several challenges that continue to affect efforts to achieve optimal breastfeeding despite public health intervention, which includes aggressive marketing of breastmilk substitutes, changing lifestyles, workplace constraints, misinformation and inadequate support from families and communities.

The FDA has assured the public of its commitment to protect breastfeeding through the implementation and enforcement of the Breastfeeding Promotion Regulation, 2000 (L.I. 1667), which regulates the marketing and distribution of breastmilk substitutes in the country, stressing the Authority’s continued efforts to monitor compliance, conduct market surveillance, educate stakeholders as well as work with partners to ensure mothers have access to accurate and evidence-based information on infant feeding.

The Authority stated that it would collaborate with the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, Ubora Quality Institute, the media and other stakeholders on nationwide public education and regulatory enforcement.

The Los Angeles Lakers are to be sold for a reported record-breaking $12.5bn, external (£9.3bn) – less than a year after Mark Walter took a majority stake in the NBA franchise.

Josh Kushner, the brother of US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared, and former Disney chief executive Bob Iger are buying the controlling interest in one of the world’s most iconic sports teams.

Walter bought his share, reportedly worth an estimated $10bn (£7.45bn), from the Buss family in a deal that was unanimously approved by the NBA Board of Governors in October 2025.

Kushner and Iger said in a statement: ‘As lifelong NBA fans, we are deeply honoured for the opportunity to become stewards of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most iconic sports franchises in the world.

‘We have immense respect for the leadership and vision of Jerry and Jeanie Buss.

‘Our long-term commitment is to build on that foundation, compete at the highest level, and serve this extraordinary team, its fans, and the city of Los Angeles.’

Former Chief Executive Officer of Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, was released from prison yesterday following the decision of the Office of the Attorney General (AG) to withdraw a motion seeking to stay the execution of her acquittal and discharge by the Court of Appeal.

A court in Accra issued a warrant for her release from prison just moments after the Attorney General withdrew a motion which sought to have her in prison custody pending the determination on an appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal that acquitted her last month.

The Court of Appeal was set to rule on the Attorney General’s motion for stay of execution, which had argued that Tamakloe-Attionu, who was jailed 10 years for stealing and causing about GHS93 million financial loss to the state, will leave the jurisdiction if she is released from prison before the Supreme Court gets to determine the appeal against her acquittal.

But a representative from the Attorney General’s Office instead withdrew the application without any explanation, leaving the court to strike it out as withdrawn.

Reports later surfaced that the Attorney General had filed the same application at the Supreme Court, and same scheduled for October when the court resumes sitting after the legal vacation.

It is not clear what purpose that application serves, given the fact that the Court of Appeal’s decision essentially exonerates her of any wrongdoing and calls for her release from prison.

Acquittal

The Court of Appeal, on July 30, 2026, acquitted and discharged Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, setting aside the 10 years’ jail term handed her for stealing and causing financial loss to the state.

The court, in its 94-page judgment on an appeal filed by the ex-John Mahama appointee, held that the prosecution failed to lay sufficient evidence in proving the charges levelled against her.

The court further criticised their colleague judge, Justice Afia Serwah Asare-Botwe, then a High Court judge, for the way she handled the case, stating that she shifted the burden of proof onto the accused rather than the prosecution as the law demands.

The appellate court’s decision expectedly split opinion, with many questioning the court’s reasoning, while others agreed it was proper.

The whereabouts of the about GHS93 million the nation is said to have lost through the actions of the accused is one question many observers are demanding answers to.

The Attorney General immediately issued a statement indicating a disagreement with the Court of Appeal’s decision and a desire to pursue the matter at the Supreme Court.

However, there are many who thought it was a ploy to shift attention from the real questions being asked about the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government’s promise to fight corruption.

Others also criticised government for discontinuing the trial of former appointees of the party and those affiliated with it, while initiating new trials against past appointees of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Declared Fugitive

Tamakloe-Attionu had been in the United States since 2021 after failing to return to Ghana to face trial, after she was granted permission by the court to travel for medical checkup. The court had to declare her a fugitive.

She was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment in absentia for allegedly bloating contracts and spending part of relief funds meant for victims of the Kantamanto fire outbreak.

Tamakloe-Attionu was also jailed for pocketing an amount of GHS500,000 invested by MASLOC at Obaatanpa Microfinance Company Limited which was returned to MASLOC because of the high interest demanded, but the money never reflected in the accounts of the Centre.

She was arrested and detained in the United States in January 2026, and was subsequently extradited to Ghana after a court found that the information presented to it by the Ghana Government and its US counterpart ‘is competent evidence to establish probable cause that Tamakloe-Attionu committed the crimes with which she is charged and has been convicted.’

Former AG Criticism

Former Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, criticised the acquittal and discharge, taking particular aim at the manner in which the whole appeal process was initiated and eventually decided upon.

He indicated that the Office of the Attorney General under his tenure never received a notice of appeal filed by lawyers of Tamakloe-Attionu following her conviction and sentencing.

He was of the opinion that the development falls in line with a grand scheme by the NDC government to free all its former appointees and allies who were facing criminal proceedings.

Actor, Yaw Dabo, has set the record straight about the funding of his recent trip to the United States, denying claims that a politician or the government sponsored his journey.

The Kumawood actor said his flight ticket was paid for by Dr ‘Time Daso’ of Medimafo Herbal Hospital, while he personally covered his accommodation and other expenses during the trip.

Speaking to Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Yaw Dabo said the sponsorship was limited to his airfare.

‘I heard Dada Santo saying that the government sponsored my trip, but it’s not true. No politician paid for my trip to the US. It’s Dr Time Daso of Medimafo Herbal Hospital who sponsored me,’ he said.

‘He paid for just my ticket and nothing more. My hotel and other expenses are not included,’ he added.

Yaw Dabo also explained that his trips to watch major football tournaments are not a new development, saying he has consistently travelled during World Cup seasons.

‘Every World Cup season, I travel to watch. Every four years during the World Cup, I say things and they trend,’ he stated.

The actor dismissed suggestions that he deliberately makes controversial statements or creates content to attract attention online.

‘I don’t do that deliberately, but Ghanaians love me, so everything I do or say, they make it a trend,’ he noted.

Yaw Dabo further recounted how his activities during the World Cup caught the attention of former Chelsea and England defender, John Terry.

According to him, his popularity and activities around the tournament helped Terry realise that he had a significant following in Ghana.

‘They made John Terry realise I’m famous and he approached me. He got my number and called me,’ Yaw Dabo disclosed.

Actors, Agya Koo and Kwadwo Nkansah a.k.a LilWin have seemingly put their long-standing differences behind them after reuniting on a movie set.

The two popular Kumawood actors were recently spotted working together, sparking excitement among fans who have followed their careers and the rivalry that has surrounded them over the years.

Agya Koo confirmed the reunion in a social media post after fans repeatedly asked when he would feature in a movie with LilWin.

The veteran actor said he had previously responded to such questions by citing Isaiah 60:22, suggesting that the collaboration would occur at the right time.

He believes that time has now arrived.

‘Ghanaians have been asking me, ‘Kofi, when are you coming out with a new movie with Kwadwo Nkansah?’ I always told them: Isaiah 60:22. And the time is now. I’m on set with my bro. Expect nothing but the best,’ he wrote.

LilWin also welcomed the reunion, describing Agya Koo as a legend who deserves greater recognition and appreciation from Ghanaians.

He questioned why some Ghanaians appear to celebrate Nigerian actors more than local stars who have contributed significantly to the growth of the Ghanaian movie industry.

The actor called on Ghanaians to support and celebrate their own talents, particularly those who have helped build the local film industry.

LilWin said he personally asked his director to bring Agya Koo onto the project because of the respect he has for the veteran actor.

‘I asked my director to call Agya Koo because if I had called him myself, he might have said he wouldn’t charge me. I’m proud to be in the same movie with our legend,’ he said.

The reunion marks a significant moment for Ghana’s movie industry, particularly for fans who have witnessed the tension between the two actors in previous years.

Their return to the same set is expected to generate considerable interest as movie lovers look forward to seeing the two Kumawood stars share the screen once again.

The government has unveiled a number of skills development, employment and entrepreneurship programmes aimed at equipping young Ghanaians with the skills and opportunities needed to secure sustainable livelihoods.

The programmes include an expanded National Apprenticeship Programme, the Labour Exchange Programme, the Domestic Care Economy initiative and the Graduates in Corporate Support (GRiCS) programme.

The Minister of Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare-Addo, announced the initiatives yesterday when he opened the 2026 National Youth Conference at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi.

The conference, organised by the National Youth Authority (NYA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, forms part of activities marking the 2026 National Youth Month celebration.

It is being held on the theme, ‘Rebuilding Values, Inspiring Patriotism: Empowering the Youth in the Digital Age.’

The conference brought together government officials, traditional and religious leaders, academics, development partners, youth leaders and young people from across the country to deliberate on the role of the youth in Ghana’s development.

Skills Matching

Mr. Opare-Addo said the government was focused on ensuring that skills acquired by young people were relevant to the demands of the labour market.

He explained that the National Apprenticeship Programme was designed following consultations with labour unions, research and an assessment of skills gaps in the economy.

He said the programme was also using the master-apprentice system, whereby young people were attached to experienced practitioners in their communities to facilitate their transition into employment.

Jobs Abroad

The Minister said the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) was also creating employment opportunities for young people through the Labour Exchange Programme.

The initiative, he said, would facilitate the movement of skilled Ghanaian workers to countries where their skills were needed.

60% Retention

The Minister also announced plans to strengthen the transition from school to work through the National Service Authority.

He said the government was developing the Graduates in Corporate Support (GRiCS) programme to provide National Service personnel with extended employment opportunities after completing their mandatory service.

According to him, data showed that National Service personnel who worked with government institutions could spend between four and 10 years before securing employment, while those who served in the private sector spent between one and three years.

Mr. Opare-Addo said private sector organisations participating in the GRiCS programme would be expected to retain at least 60 per cent of National Service personnel.

Entrepreneurship

The Minister said the government was also supporting young entrepreneurs through the ‘Adwumawura’ programme, which provides training, incubation and funding to enable young people to establish and grow businesses.

He said government would assist beneficiaries with business registration to ensure that their enterprises were properly established.

Mr. Opare-Addo also mentioned the SEEK (Student Enterprise and Innovation Development) programme, which supports tertiary students with innovative ideas and business plans.

Govt Not Alone

Mr. Opare-Addo stressed that government could not solve the youth unemployment challenge alone.

He called for the active participation of the private sector, financial institutions, universities and other stakeholders in creating jobs and expanding opportunities for young people.

Youth Are Not Problem

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Osman Abdulai Ayariga, said the conference was designed primarily for the youth and was intended to give them a platform to participate in discussions about their future.

He urged young people to use digital technology not only to consume content but also to create businesses, develop innovative solutions and contribute to national development.

He urged the youth not to allow themselves to be described as a problem to Ghana, saying they were instead an important force for national transformation.

He said the NYA would continue working with government institutions, development partners, civil society organisations, academia, the private sector and youth organisations to expand opportunities for young people.

KNUST VC

The Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, Professor Christian Agyare, said the theme of the conference was timely, particularly in an era of artificial intelligence, social media and digital enterprise.

He urged young people to embrace technology while maintaining values such as hard work, integrity, patriotism and service.

‘Skills without integrity can be misused, and knowledge without character can become destructive,’ he cautioned.

Prof. Agyare also urged the youth to reject the ‘get-rich-quick’ mentality and build their success through hard work, honesty, creativity and perseverance.

He assured the conference of KNUST’s support and expressed the hope that the deliberations would produce practical outcomes for young people across the country.

The North East Regional Police Command has arrested four suspects and intercepted 118 bags of cocoa beans weighing 11,800 kilogrammes at Bunkpurugu, suspected to have been destined for neighbouring Togo through the Bunkpurugu-Togo border.

The suspects are Dickson Asante, 35, the driver of the truck; Gideon Tab, 19, his mate; Mohammed Mumin, 22; and Ernestina Akugre, 23, who claimed ownership of the consignment.

According to a police report, on August 9, 2026, police received information that a Hyundai Rhino truck with registration number AS-3272-25, loaded with plantain and cocoa, was being transported under suspicious circumstances towards the Togo border, and acting on the information, a police patrol team intercepted the truck at the Bunkpurugu Police Snap Check Point and arrested the four suspects.

The police report further stated that a joint security team comprising the Police, Ghana Immigration Service, Defence Intelligence, Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Customs Division and National Security subsequently searched the vehicle at the Customs Office. The search revealed that the plantain was being used as a decoy to conceal the cocoa beans.

The four suspects are in police custody, assisting with investigations, and will be put before court to face the full rigours of the law.

Access Bank (Ghana) Plc has been authorised by the Carbon Market Office (CMO) to operate as a licensed carbon credit broker in Ghana, making it one of a select group of institutions cleared to trade in the country’s regulated carbon market.

The certification, granted under Ghana’s Framework for International Carbon Market and Non-Market Approaches and the Environmental Protection Agency Act, 2025 (Act 1124), allows the bank to facilitate and intermediate transactions in carbon credits, including Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs).

New Role in Climate Finance

With the license, Access Bank can now connect buyers and sellers of carbon credits, broker deals in both primary and secondary markets, and act as a market arranger linking Ghanaian project developers to international buyers, carbon funds and climate finance institutions.

The bank will also offer carbon market advisory services. These will be integrated with its existing green loans, sustainability-linked lending and transition finance products to provide clients with what it calls an ‘end-to-end’ pathway to decarbonisation.

Managing Director, Pearl Nkrumah, said the certification aligns with the bank’s broader sustainability agenda.

‘This certification affirms Access Bank’s position as a trusted partner in Ghana’s transition to a low-carbon economy. As a licensed carbon credit broker, we are able to connect project developers, investors and corporates to credible, well-structured carbon market opportunities, while upholding the highest standards of transparency and regulatory compliance,’ she said.

Head of Public Sector and Sustainability, Priscilla Ashiam, noted the significance for government institutions.

‘This recognition is particularly significant for the public sector, where decarbonisation commitments increasingly require credible access to carbon markets. As a certified broker, Access Bank is well positioned to support government agencies and state institutions in structuring carbon transactions that align with national climate goals,’ she said.

Building on Group Track Record

The Ghana license extends Access Bank Group’s climate finance work across Africa. In 2019, Access Bank Plc in Nigeria became the first African corporate to receive Climate Bonds Initiative certification for a green bond, raising N15 billion to fund low-carbon projects in manufacturing, transport and agriculture.

Access Bank Ghana said it will work closely with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Carbon Market Office to help grow a well-regulated carbon market, while supporting public sector bodies and large corporates to meet their decarbonisation targets.

Demand for climate finance intermediation is rising across Africa as countries seek to monetize emission reductions and attract investment into clean energy, forestry and agriculture projects.

Ghanaian Bloggers, ZionFelix and Ameyaw Debrah, have announced that popular Belgium-based Ghanaian creator, Sexy Vida, has passed on.

The late TikToker is survived by nine children, and a resurfaced video shows her announcing a pregnancy just days ago.

Fans expressed shock and sorrow, praying the unverified news is false while worrying about her kids, with tributes continuing to pour in across social media.

Serena on X wrote, ‘Eiii Sexy Vida????? No I hope is false coz wtf?!!!!! Who will take care of her kids????’

Shadrack Amonoo also wrote, ‘Eiii! So truly truly Sexy Vida is D£AD?? Someone Who was Live Just Last Night On TikTok??’

Entertainment Journalist, Erskine Whyte, on X wrote, ‘I don’t even know how I stumbled on this, but apparently a TikToker called Sexy Vida has died and a couple of people are live on TikTok crying! One by one! Like you literally join the live and cry, they remove you and someone else joins! Chale.’

Sexy Vida had cultivated a loyal following on TikTok through consistent live sessions and engaging content that resonated with Ghanaian online audiences. Her approachable personality and regular interaction with fans made her a recognisable presence on the platform.

Her family and close associates have yet to release an official statement clarifying the circumstances surrounding her passing, and many followers continue to await further details.
