The Free Press reporting on the crime wave in Ghana, says 'Aliens in control". According to the story, sometime in 1993, just after the fourth republic had began, of which aliens were in the majority constituted themselves into a group and made their way to the Castle to meet the president.

The paper said an indigenous Ghanaian tribal head led them. At the Castle, they complained bitterly to president Rawlings about the increasing rate of crime at Ashiaman.

What the President did not know was that most of the so-called tribal heads were masquerades and were just there to deceive the public. The paper is of that opinion because according to it most of this alien tribal heads' children are hardened criminals.

The paper gave an example of the Zambrama chief whose son is an alleged hardened criminal and his father protects him.
