The Mirror

The Mirror over the weekend had on its front page "Ninja had a child". According to the story, the death of constable Richard Owusu-Sekyere alias Kwaku Ninja when reported made all those who heard and knew him very sad, for two reasons. Firstly for being callously and brutally murdered and secondly, the assumption that he died without a child. According to the story, two weeks before his burial it was proven that Ninja had a nine year old daughter with a friend plantain (kelewele) seller Felicia Quaye of Odorkor. The paper states that Felicia got pregnant in her final year at school and informed Ninja about it which he did not reject, but her directions to see one of his uncles mr. Addae Menka at Dansoman. The paper added that after giving birth Ninja acontinued visiting her and the child till he enlisted into the Ghana Police Service when he stopped visiting them. Felicia continued that she was shocked to hear from Ninja's friends about his abduction and subsequent murder. The paper concluded that, following "the Mirror" about Ninja's step mother's desire to meet the woman who is alleged to have a child a daughter with her son, Felicia then presented her self to his step mother (Mrs Mclean) who received them her and the child warmly saying "at long last I have found a replacement for any departed son".
