The Ghana Education Service (GES) has opened investigations into an alleged malpractice recorded in the Offinso South Municipality of the Ashanti Region during Monday’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (B.E.C.E).

A four-member committee chaired by a director in charge of finance at the GES has been set up to investigate nine teachers linked to the case, close sources familiar with the development told dailymailgh.com.

The teachers and a headteacher were arrested at the Dwamena Akenten M/A JHS examination centre after they were spotted desperately solving the objective part of the Social Studies paper in the morning.

“The committee has begun sittings. Statements have already been taken from them and so by close of day the committee would have finished its work and when they are found culpable they would face the appropriate sanctions”, a source told dailymailgh.com.

Immediate action

The source further noted that all teachers across the Offinso Municipality have been barred from entering examination centres. GES officials have also been asked to monitor the centers as part of efforts to curb such practices.

“We have accredited headteachers who will organize and bring the candidates to the center but when they arrive they are asked to leave the centers”, the source further stated adding: “security has been beefed up in all the areas”.

Other arrests

The development brings the number of arrests reported in the ongoing exam to 12, after a similar case happened at the Senase R/C Basic School in Berekum in the Bono Region.

An official statement from the West African Examination Council (WAEC) is yet to to be released on the matter.

The Black Stars needed a win to top Group G while South Africa were only hoping to pick a point in the game to finish above their hosts.

However, after Senegalese referee Ndiaye awarded Ghana a penalty which was utilized by Andre Ayew, the Black Stars sealed qualification.

Owusu returned to work on Monday and had another argument with the accused who is on the run over the legitimacy of the penalty.

The argument became a very heated one and he was stabbed in the process in a small town called Mzuluku.

Former King Faisal rep on radio Obeng Boadu popularly known as Owuraku, who currently works in South Africa, gave an account of the incident in an interview with Rockson Adjei Yeboah in an interview on Kumasi-based Fox FM on Tuesday.

“Yaw Owusu, a 39-year-old man who works at a saloon had a few argument with his apprentice before the game on Sunday, the argument resurfaced on Monday morning after the controversies on the penalty and he stabbed him to death,” he said as quoted by AshesGyamera.com.

“We are pleading with authorities to come to our aid here since things may be scarier soon. I don’t think Ghanaians are too safe as I speak to you,” he added.

Meanwhile, South Africa Football Association has lodged a complaint at Fifa Fifa and Caf, insisting that the referee was manipulated therefore the game should be replayed on a neutral ground.

‘The referees and Ghanaians rehearsed how to cheat South Africa in World Cup qualifiers,’ says De Reuck

The defender has opened up on the much talked about penalty that was awarded against him after he tackled Daniel Amartey

South Africa international Rushine De Reuck has insisted that Senegalese referee Ndiaye and the players of Ghana had a rehearsal on how to cheat them following the 1-0 defeat in Fifa World Cup qualifiers on Sunday.

With South Africa needing just a draw to top Group G, Bafana Bafana were undone by a 33rd minute penalty after De Reuck was adjudged to have fouled Daniel Amartey in the box.

Ghana captain Andre Ayew stepped up and sent the resulting kick into the net. The goal proved to be the only effort Ghanaians needed to qualify ahead of the South Africans..

However, after the game, a lot of commentaries have been heard about the referee’s performance and South Africa Football Association believes the match officials were manipulated. As a result, they have officially lodged a compliant at Caf and Fifa seeking for a redress.

“It was a big game and we knew what it would mean for the country, and we were ready playing against the best in the world,” De Reuck said at the press conference.

“But I felt the opportunity to get a good result was taken away. The decision that were made, it felt like the game was rehearsed – from the referees and the ball boys. The first 10 minutes we already saw that we were not going to get anything right. We continued to fight,” he added.

Meanwhile, a private video investigator was hired by SAFA to critically analyse the game and he concluded that 91 per cent of the referee’s decisions were in accurate especially in the first half.

“I used 5 hours and 17 minutes to review the first half because this was where all the alleged manipulation happened. I kept pausing the video and then go back for a replay,” the independent investigator for SAFA

“There were only five incorrect decisions in the second half so I spent a little over two hours to review the game in that half. I enjoyed watching football in the second half because the referee allowed the match to flow,” he added.

Ignatius Osei-Fosu sacked by Medeama after three games

The 1-1 stalemate away to Techiman Eleven Wonders proved to be the last straw for the Yellow and Mauve board, who have already lined up his successor

Young and hard-talking Ignatius Osei-Fosu has been sacked by Medeama after only three games in charge in Ghana Premier League, with the club’s top hierarchy set to announce his replacement.

Ignatius was appointed permanent successor to Yaw Acheampong and Yaw Preko in August, with Medeama offering him an initial three-year contract subject to renewal.

However, things went north after only three games in Ghana Premier League as Medeama are yet to pick a win.


As a result, that agreement has been terminated early despite the Yellow and Mauve picking up a point against Eleven Wonders last weekend, which leaves them with two points and seven points behind leaders Asante Kotoko on the league log.

The back four was made of Augustine Agyapong, Charles Owusu, Abdul Ganiu Ismail who returned from international duties with Ghana as well as Imoro Ibrahim.

Also, Emmanuel Keyekeh started in midfield together with Sheriff Mohammed, Stephen Amankonah and Clinton Opoku while Cameroonian strikers Etuoga Mbella Frank Thierry and Mfegue George Rodrigues led the attack.

Kotoko had the first opportunity to take the lead by the 12th minute after Keyekeh combined beautifully to set up Mfegue but the striker’s effort narrowly missed the target.

However, his countryman Mbella showed him how to utilize half chances few minutes later.

The Cameroonian import latched on the ball after a mistake by the Asekem defenders and calmly sent in his last ditch effort beautifully.

Asekem were awarded a penalty to level the score after one of their strikers was clutched down in Kotoko’s penalty area. Unfortunately for them, the resulting kick was missed.

Mbella, according to AshesGyamera’s sources, could make his bow for Kotoko on Saturday following his consistent performance at training.

Ashanti Gold former coach Ernest Thompson Quartey has slammed the club’s technical director Da Rocha and further labels him as a snitch and hypocrite.

Quartey who was appointed as the new coach last month, was sacked from his position after only three games into the new Ghana Premier League season.

He won one game, shared the spoils in one and lost one last weekend against King Faisal at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.

However, Quartey feels betrayed since he believes Da Rocha acted as of he was not involved in any of the decisions taken while he was at post.

“I built a strong relationship with him. We took decisions together but he painted a picture like we did not involved him in anything,” Quartey told Fox FM.

He has stabbed me in the back and whoever that will be appointed tobreooace me as the new coach must stay away from Da Rocha.

“He is not a good person and will likely undermine the person,” he added.
