Shocking! American Man Released From Custody 9 Times Attacks Again – Viral Video Has People Furious

Ei, this one dey pain heart ooo! 

A man from Charlotte, in the United States of America, has found himself at the center of a viral storm — and for all the wrong reasons. According to reports, this individual was released from police custody not once, not twice, but a staggering NINE times. And what did he do after all those second chances? He went right back to his old ways, attacking someone again — and this time, the whole thing was caught on camera for the world to see.

The video has since gone viral across social media platforms, leaving people from all corners of the globe absolutely furious. Many are asking the big question: how does one person get released from custody nine separate times without the justice system putting a permanent stop to their behaviour? For us here in Ghana, this kind of story hits differently because we often hear people praising the American justice system as some kind of gold standard. But stories like this remind us that no system is perfect.

In Ghana, we are no strangers to conversations about repeat offenders and whether our own courts are doing enough to protect ordinary citizens from those who repeatedly break the law. Whether it is armed robbery, assault, or other crimes, the frustration of watching dangerous individuals walk free while innocent people suffer is something many Ghanaians understand too well.

What makes this particular case even more jaw-dropping is the fact that the attack was filmed and shared online. In today's world, nothing stays hidden for long. Social media has become the people's court, and the video spread faster than any official statement could. Netizens were quick to drag the authorities responsible for repeatedly setting this man free, questioning their judgment and calling for serious reforms.

The Charlotte authorities have not yet given a full public explanation for why the suspect kept being released, but pressure is mounting from both the local community and the wider public who have seen the video.

For those of us watching from Ghana, this is a reminder that justice systems everywhere — including our own — must be held accountable. Repeat offenders should not be given unlimited chances to harm innocent people. At some point, the safety of the community must come first.

What do you think? Should repeat violent offenders be treated more harshly by the courts, or do you believe in giving people chances to reform?

Ghana Flood Death Toll Rises to 34 as Rescue Efforts Continue

 

Ghana Flood Death Toll Climbs to 34

Ghana is once again grappling with the devastating effects of severe flooding after the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) confirmed that the nationwide death toll has risen to 34 following the heavy rains that swept across the country earlier this week. Authorities have warned that the number could increase as rescue teams continue searching for missing persons and verifying reports from affected communities.

According to NADMO's Director of Inspectorate, Richard Amo Yartey, 12 of the confirmed deaths occurred in Accra, while the remaining fatalities were recorded in other flood-affected regions. Emergency responders remain on the ground carrying out rescue operations and distributing relief supplies to victims.

Thousands Displaced Across Seven Regions

Beyond the tragic loss of life, the floods have left widespread destruction in their wake. Tens of thousands of residents have been displaced after homes, businesses and roads were submerged.

NADMO reports that nearly 90,000 people have been affected across seven regions, with the Greater Accra Region recording the highest number of displaced residents. Officials continue to assess the full extent of the damage as floodwaters recede.

Renewed Calls for Flood Prevention

The latest disaster has once again sparked debate over Ghana's recurring flood crisis. Every rainy season, communities face similar challenges, with blocked drainage systems, poor waste management and rapid urban development frequently cited as contributing factors.

While emergency agencies continue responding to the immediate crisis, many Ghanaians are calling for long-term investments in drainage infrastructure, stricter enforcement of building regulations and improved early warning systems to help prevent future tragedies.

As search and recovery efforts continue, the nation mourns those who lost their lives while many affected families begin the difficult process of rebuilding.

Prince Philip, husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, dies at age 99

 


Duke of Edinburgh and husband to Queen Elizabeth II, has died at age 99.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the death of the prince, who was married to the Queen for more than 70 years, on Friday afternoon local time. “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

The Duke of Edinburgh is expected to have a royal ceremonial funeral in a socially distanced service in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. He will not lie in state and there will be no state funeral because he had insisted that he did not want the 'fuss'. His ceremonial royal funeral will be televised and broadcast to the country with crowds anywhere to be discouraged.

The statement has been placed on the gates of Buckingham Palace in London. Meanwhile, the royal family’s official website, Royal.uk, is currently a memorial page for the prince and “temporarily unavailable while appropriate changes are made.” Prince Philip’s death, just two months ahead of his 100th birthday, comes a day after he featured prominently in ITV documentary “The Unseen Queen” — featuring rarely seen archive of the royal couple and their children in their early years — which aired on Thursday night and drew 2.4 million.

Prince Philip was in ill health before his death, having been admitted to hospital in February and later undergoing a procedure for a pre-existing heart condition. He left the hospital and returned to Windsor Castle in March. The prince’s last public appearance was in July 2020 when he transferred his ceremonial role as colonel-in-chief of The Rifles to his daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

In December 2019, the prince spent four days in the hospital for observation and to treat an unspecified pre-existing condition.

Zambia 1-2 Nigeria: Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho the heroes - Super Eagles begin World Cup qualifiers

Goals from Arsenal starlet Alex Iwobi and Man City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho were enough for a Super Eagles side lacking so many key players like Odion Ighalo, Victor Moses etc, as they fought out a 2-1 win over Zambia in Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier on Sunday.

Nigeria led by Franco-German coach Gernot Rohr started with a line up of Ikeme Carl Onora, Elderson Echiejire, Kenneth Josiah Omeruo, William Troost Ekong, Brown Ideye, John Obi Mikel,

 

Moses Daddy Simon, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ogenyi Eddy Onazi, Alexander Chuka Iwobi and Onyinye Wilfred Ndidi while the Zambians led by Wedson Nyirenda comprised of Kennedy Mweene, Kabaso Chongo, Fackson Kapumbu, Adrian Chama, Stopilla Sunzu, Nathan Sinkala, Rainford Kalaba, Fwayo Tembo, Chisamba Lungu, Collins Mbesuma  and Winston Kalengo.

 

Moses started brightly for Nigeria on the right side as he tested the Zambian goalkeeper on the 5th minute then tried his luck with a set piece then at the 26th minute, beat his marker at the left flank before his effort was shot well over the bar.

 

Nigerians started pressurizing the Zambians then in the 33rd minute, Alex Iwobi volleyed into the net after bad defending from Zambia's defenders.

That goal wasn't enough for the Super Eagles as Kelechi Iheanacho combined well with Mikel Obi and Ideye before dribbling past goalkeeper Mweene then slotted into the net from a tight corner.

In the 48th minute, Zambia made their  first change of the game, replacing Chama with Mtonga.

Nigeria's defence started becoming shaky and the crowd started hyping the home team then in the 70th minute, a cross from Zambia's right wing that was poorly intercepted by Kenneth Omeruo was capitalized by Zambia's No 9 Collins Mbesuma who calmly slotted into the net.

 

Nigeria sat deep and defended the 1-2 scoreline till the end. Gernot Rohr's men will now return to Nigeria, happy to have gotten the maximum 3 points.

Congrats Super Eagles!

He also said efforts by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to check charging of unapproved fees at some schools can be successful with the help of teachers. 

The Vice President made these comments during the World Teachers Day and 21st National Best Teacher Awards ceremony held in Tamale.

Bring back Nana Aba Anamoah campaign launched

A solidarity campaign has begun to bring back long serving news anchor of TV3 Nana Aba Anamoah who is serving an indefinite suspension for what managers of TV3 say is misconduct.

The anchor has been trending on facebook and Twitter for over a week now after it emerged she had tweeted a thoroughly edited photograph of a Ghanaian football fan watching a game at Old Trafford.

Critics say the manner in which the photograph was edited and posted on her twitter handle subtly created the impression as though she was at Old Trafford when she was not.
