Our reporters to be a bit responsible in their reportage. Even if you see security men at the church premise, does it mean they were trailing a church member? How can they arrest a member without going through church leadership? Let's stop this useless stomach journalism in this country.

Ghanaian reporters have become politicians in journalistic clothing, doing the bid of their political masters. Shame on journalism in Ghana.

NO EWE AMONG BIG SIX
Ewes will not fight for anything but want to enjoy where others have suffered. Is KOTOKA an Akyem? What about the nefarious activity of Gbedema during the first republic. What about Tsatsu Tsikata, Alfred Agbesi Woyomi, Dzifa Ativor, Victor Sorlomey and JJ Rawlings who overthrew the constitutional government of Hilla Liman and sent Ghana into an economic abyss for 19 years. Please, I am an Ewe but you need to be civil.

The only thing the ewes achieved for Ghana is Woyomi, Victor Selormi, Dzifa Ativor, etc. Let me ask you, is stealing and dying in prison an achievement. If Voltarians were intelligent as you are saying they would have made their region Heaven on Earth like the way Ashantis have made Kumasi. That God Forsaken region is not even attractive to its own sons and daughter. I am a proud Voltarian but the way some Ewes have disgraced all of us and yet receive support from their traditional leaders amazes me because this will never happen in any Akan Land.

...If names were like clothes I would changed Agbesi Kwesi and given it to my rogue cat, instead of its current name Joseph, so that Ewes can easily locate it and terminate its freedom.

This your cherry picking will not help repair the severely destroyed image of Ewes in politics. Why did you decide to defend Gbedema and left out Dzifa Ativor, Woyome and Victor Selormi issues. Are you trying to say some sins are holier than others? How will you describe those who stand aloof without condemning the crimes committed by their own tribesmen to soil the image of the rest of us. What is bad is bad and must be condemned.

The presence of armed operatives of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) during Sunday church service hours at the Dome Perez Chapel International in Dzorwulu in Accra in recent times is causing anxiety among church members, people familiar with the matter told Today.

Though church members have not been told reasons for the frequent presence of BNI operatives at the church, everything points to the fact that the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Mr. Sylvester Mensah aka (Sly), is being trailed by the BNI.

Mr. Mensah is currently being investigated in connection with alleged financial malfeasance at the NHIA during his tenure as the head of the Authority.

According to sources, the pursuit begun last week Sunday, January 17, 2016 when six armed operatives stormed the churchyard whiles service was ongoing ostensibly to keep an eye on the former NHIA boss at the time he and his family were in the congregation observing service.

According to an eyewitness account, immediately the leader and elders of the church got wind of the presence of the agents of the national investigative body, they quickly directed a protocol officer of the church to engage the BNI operatives outside of the church premises

And after five minutes of interaction the BNI operatives left the place hoping not to be seen again, at least, that was what the church members thought, but that was not the case.

Today understands the BNI operatives returned to the Perez Dome last Sunday, January 24, 2016, during service wearing bullet proof vests and helmet and wielding AK 47 assault rifles.

They reportedly took positions at the two exits to the church building.

The situation was said to have caused fear and panic among members of the congregation who were inside the church.

Their fear, the source added, was compounded by the lack of information from the operatives as well as the church leaders about what was causing the BNI to frequent the church on Sundays, which is the only day Mr. Mensah visits the Perez Dome.

It will be recalled that Mr. Mensah was detained at the BNI headquarters in Accra on January 1 2016, after he turned himself in.

Prior to this, BNI personnel had gone to his residence at La Chardo near the International Trade Fair Centre on 31st December night 2015 to effect his arrest only to be told that he was not at home.

The operatives subsequently searched the residence and allegedly manhandled a security man at the house.

On Thursday, January 7, 2016 an Accra Court froze all four bank accounts of Sylvester Mensah.

The Financial and Economic Court issued the freeze order after the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) made an ex-parte application praying for the order.

Reporters should be careful the way they report on topical issues. Ghanaian needs to be educated and informed about issues and such information should well be checked and rechecked.

Osofo if you have been coerced to put up this response by the "powers that be" then I must say you are not been fair to your calling. Can you address the substantial issues raised concerning the Hon. Sylvester Mensah and not this infantile response which my 2 years old boy will not even accept. In as much as you are entitled to your opinion, your locus as a man of God should be directing your reasoning and not to be pushed to that extent.

It'strange our media has become in their currents coverage of events.
Lies and fabrications are increasingly and rather disturbingly become the benchmark.

The reality, it does not offer anything good to the development agenda of our dear country and nation. The earlier we stop, the better it would be for us all.

This nation was saved on truth and justice, and it is the only thing that can save us as a people.

With the Nov 7 elections in sight, it behooves all of us to do what ever it would take us not jeopardize the current peace of the state of affairs.

and this can only be achieved on the principle of truth.

The media should be circumspect in this regard.

Thank You and God bless Ghana.

As such publications are made on speculations and this does not augur well in a democratic country as Ghana's. I advice our journalists especially our upcoming ones to desist from writing stories that are not veried. In transforming Ghana we must work bearing in mind respect for the rights of each citizen of our country

The npp is desperate looking for equalization of what Kufour did to Mr Tsatsu when he sent the BNI to arrest him at church whiles communion was in progress. Nothing the criminal npp and their toilet mouth piece papers can do to drag the NDC into their criminal acts. What kind of journalism is this? Just getting up and making upstories jjust to discredit the government. Tell your foolish and useless Akufo Addo to tell us why we should vote for a violent tribal bigot and a drug addict like him, instead of this shit all the time.

1. The BNI goes Sylvester Mensah's house. He was not home. The media picks up the story and is all over the place. The BNI did not go to that house with the media. How did the raid get to the media?

2. Sylvester Mensahshows up at BNI. Here again, who announced it to the media? Certainly not the BNI.

3. Ga people goes to BNI in numbers to protest his interrogation. The media picks it up. The BNI did not tell the media. How did the media pick up the story?

4. Ga chiefs go to Sylvester Mensah' s house and gives him 10,000 cedis b'cos his bank accounts are frozen. How did the media hear of this? Did the chief's go to his house with the media?

5. The BNI is accused of trailing him to his church even though Sylvester works at the Presidency. The BNI knows how to find him. Why will they go to his church? Why did it take days before the church denies it?

So NPP is behind all these? Only a FOOL will believe this. Who gains from he media attention? Sylvester Mensah Mensah because once his story is in the media, he gets sympathy from the public.

So who do you think is planting these stories in the media? It is not NPP. Your guess is as good as mine.
