At the same time joy brought me back from the experiences I had in the past few years. The Bible says the joy of the lord is my strength.

Her main focuses now are: youth and socio-economic development, agenda on entertainment and to work on women agenda.

What do you have to offer to your people?

What is paramount on my agenda is youth and socio-economic development. The youth have been neglected for too long.  The vices they exhibit is as a result of neglect.  It is high time we attended to the youth.

The second agenda is on entertainment.  I want the youth to develop their talents.  If they don’t get employment, they can invest in their talents.  I believe I am the voice of entertainment.  I will represent my industry well and make ways for government to invest in it.

I also want to work on women agenda.  There are things women should enjoy but are struggling like men to get.  A lot of women are bread winners at home.  To get loan is a big problem for women, most of them don’t have the collateral.  I want to push the women agenda.  I also want to do my best in eliminating corruption. I will carry the people along.  A lot of people will get there and will change their contacts.  I will make sure I maintain the contact between the legislature and the people.  I want a sustainable ideology for the youth. I am not after power, no, I am not. (Encomium)

CRIME: DRUG FUGITIVES 'AISHA AHMED AND YEMI OLATUNDE' ARRESTED IN DUBLIN 14 YEARS AFTER

A naturalised Irish citizen  Aisha Ahmed (49) aka Gloria Anwelika Aro, mother of six  and her husband Yemi Moshood Olatunde (47), aka  Roy Yemmy Andrew Aro, both wanted in Italy for their parts in a multi-million euro cocaine importing operation in Naples 14 years ago had been arrested in Dublin.

However, both couple maintained they were arrested in cases of mistaken identity but the High Court heard their fingerprints were "absolute matches" for the couple being sought by Interpol.

Mr Justice John Edwards remanded the couple and maintained that he was satisfied the woman before the court, Aisha Ahmed were "one and the same person", despite her denials.

The couple's cases have been adjourned pending full extradition proceedings.

Keiran Kelly BL, for the respondent, had argued that the identification documents - fingerprints and a photograph - were not admissible in evidence.

Ahmed's arrest hearing was told the respondent was a naturalised Irish citizen and had been living under the name of Gloria Aro at Sundale Parade, Tallaght. Her husband had been living under the name Roy Yemmy Andrew Aro.

Ahmed's sentence was for the offence of, as promoter, leader or organiser, taking part in an association with the purposes of committing an indefinite number of crimes involving the importation, sale, distribution, trade and illicit possession of "remarkable quantities" of cocaine at locations in Italy between 1999 and 2000. She had been given a 22-year sentence in 2005 which was later reduced to 20 years.

The court heard a diffusion document - requesting the location and arrest of Ahmed - was sent to the Irish authorities by Interpol in Italy.

Attached were her fingerprints and a photograph.

Sergeant Jim Kirwan told the court when he went to the respondents' home address but was not at home and he left his card with her family. However, he said he returned to the same home address in possession of a European Arrest Warrant and spoke to Ahmed. When asked her name she said she was Gloria Aro and denied that she was also known as Aisha Ahmed.

She gave a date of birth in December 1967 and said she was Nigerian but told him she had never lived in Italy. Sgt Kirwan showed her the photograph from Interpol and when he asked if it was her, she replied: "No."  She was arrested and brought to Tallaght Garda Station where she provided fingerprints that matched those of the person being sought.

CRIME:A UNITED STATE BASED PASTOR ARRESTED OVER FAKE MIRACLES

Odorkor Police Command,Ghana has arrested a fake pastor named Jonas Abedi, 35 and four other suspects, Enoch Mortey, 29, , Helena Donkor, 40, fake cripple woman ,Divine Kwadwo Columbus, 36, a self-acclaimed prophet, and Christiana Quainoo, 36, who posed as a sister of the cripple during church service.

According to the Founder of Power Explosion Chapel at Tantra Hills in Accra, Rev Ewurama Annan, who invited Jonas Abedi self acclaimed Ghanaian pastor based in New York in the United States of America (USA), to her church as a visiting pastor said the two had established contact through a social media platform. Facebook,.

The Odorkor District Police Commander, Superintendent of Police Mr Abraham Acquaye, said Abedi, who claimed to be a Ghanaian pastor based in New York in the United States of America (USA), and Rev Annan had been communicating through Facebook for a while.

“In one of their chats, Abedi told Rev Annan that he had been invited by a church in South Africa for a programme and was scheduled to visit Ghana for another programme with a church in Kumasi, after which he would want to pay her a visit,” Mr Acquaye said.

He said Rev Annan informed Abedi that her church had been holding services on Sundays and Tuesdays and wanted him to be the guest speaker on November 11.

About two weeks later, Rev Annan received a phone call from Abedi that he had arrived in Ghana and was done with the Kumasi-based church.

Mr Acquaye said Power Explosion Chapel hosted Abedi and his two pastor friends in a hotel for the programme, which was held on Sunday, November 9 and Tuesday, November 11, 2014.

“During the service on Tuesday, Abedi asked the congregation if there was any sick person in the church and Quainoo responded that she had brought her crippled sister,” he said.

The pastor, Mr Acquaye said, led the congregation to pray for the sick woman who had come to the church with crutches and was unable to stand on her legs.

After the church had prayed, the police commander said, the pastor asked her to walk, and instantly the woman was able to walk and even jumped without the crutches and support of her sister.

Other miracles:

Earlier, the commander said, Abedi had called a young man from the congregation and told him that he was involved in the use of charms to seduce older women and that he was in the church because of a woman.

“To prove a point, Abedi said the young man was carrying the charm and a condom in his pocket and asked him to bring them out. The man brought out a substance and a condom,” he said.

Another man was also said to have been called to the front of the congregation, after which Abedi mentioned the name and the telephone number of the man and revealed other personal details, to the surprise of the congregation.

However, Mr Acquaye said, the founder of the church told the police that she became suspicious after the service, since all the people Abedi ministered to were not members of her church. She then detailed some elders of the church to monitor those people and Abedi. At the end of the service, the woman who had been healed carried her crutches and put them behind a waiting four-wheel drive vehicle at a filling station near the church where she waited with her supposed sister.

The other two men also joined them, while the church elders monitored and saw those making phone calls. Shortly after, a man walked to them and gave them money, which the elders suspected to be payment for their services.

With the help of the Odorkor District Police night patrol team, the elders managed to apprehend the two women, while the two men bolted. The Pastor and his two friends were later arrested by the police at their hotel.

Mr Acquaye said on interrogation, Helena and Christiana confessed that they had been contracted by a lady who gave them the crutches and asked them to put up the charade for a fee of GH¢50 each.
