Asante Kotoko Secure Former Nania FC Defender as Replacement for Injured Kotei

Ghana Premier League powerhouse, Asante Kotoko, has announced the signing of former Nania FC right-back Daniel Adrian Adjetey on a one-and-a-half-year deal. The move comes as a strategic effort to bolster their squad following an unfortunate injury to key player Emmanuel Kotei.

Adjetey, who brings extensive international experience to the Porcupine Warriors, has been signed to fill the void left by Kotei, who is sidelined due to an ACL injury. Head Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum expressed his confidence in the new signing, emphasizing the significance of Adjetey’s addition to the team.

“With Kotei’s unfortunate ACL injury, it was important that we reacted in the market,” Coach Ogum remarked after the agreement was finalized. “In Daniel, we are not just bringing in a player but someone who brings quality, experience, and competitiveness. He will not only strengthen our squad but also challenge Lord Amoah for that position, which is key for us moving forward. We’re confident he’ll make an impact both defensively and offensively.”

Adjetey’s track record speaks for itself. Having previously played for Naestved in Denmark’s Division 2 and BFC Daugavpils in the Latvian top flight, the versatile defender has honed his skills on the international stage. His ability to adapt and deliver consistent performances has earned him a reputation as a reliable and dynamic player.

The defender expressed his excitement about joining the Kumasi-based club, describing it as a significant moment in his career. “This is one of the biggest clubs in Africa, and I’m honoured to be part of it. I’ve had the privilege of playing abroad, but coming back to represent Kotoko feels special. I’m ready to give my all for this team and contribute to its success,” Adjetey said.

The addition of Adjetey marks Asante Kotoko’s third signing in the January transfer window. Earlier in the window, the club secured striker Isaac Mintah and forward Sampson Eduku, both of whom have already integrated into the Porcupine Warriors’ roster. The latest signing reflects the club’s commitment to strengthening its squad and competing at the highest level in domestic and international competitions.

With a mix of seasoned professionals and emerging talents, Asante Kotoko is poised to make a strong push for silverware this season. The club’s management and technical team remain optimistic about the impact of these new signings, as they aim to maintain their status as one of Africa’s most iconic football clubs.

As the second half of the season unfolds, fans eagerly anticipate seeing Adjetey and his teammates in action, bringing renewed energy and determination to the field.

“Three Dead After Heavy Rains Hit Adenta on Sunday”

Three people have died after heavy rains triggered severe flooding in parts of Accra on Sunday, May 18, 2025, according to Adentan Municipal Chief Executive Ella Esiman Nongo. The prolonged downpour, which lasted over three hours, submerged neighborhoods including East Legon, Ofankor Barrier, Adentan, and the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, causing significant damage. Nongo confirmed that the floods claimed three lives – two victims in Lakeside, including a four-year-old girl in Nanakrom, and a man near New Legon. Many residents were stranded in their homes as water levels rose rapidly. The MCE blamed illegal construction on waterways for worsening the flooding, warning that unauthorized structures would be demolished. “Dredging alone isn’t enough,” Nongo told Citi FM. “Many developers build without proper permits, sometimes dealing with individuals instead of following official channels. Often, our planning officers aren’t even aware of these illegal constructions until it’s too late.” The incident highlights Accra’s recurring flood crisis, which surfaces annually during the rainy season, damaging infrastructure and displacing residents. Despite temporary measures by authorities, fundamental issues like poor urban planning, weak enforcement of building regulations, and inadequate drainage systems remain unresolved. Experts continue to call for comprehensive flood prevention strategies, including stricter development controls and improved drainage infrastructure, to prevent future tragedies.

May 14, 2025, The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, in collaboration with key trade associations, has agreed to implement substantial price cuts on finished goods within the next two months provided the Ghana Cedi maintains its current strength against major foreign currencies, particularly the US dollar. The decision was finalized during a high-level meeting held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, involving major industry stakeholders. Trade Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare confirmed the development, noting that several businesses have already begun adjusting prices in response to the Cedi’s appreciation. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mrs. Ofosu-Adjare emphasized the government’s role in facilitating negotiations rather than imposing price controls. “While the government cannot mandate price reductions, we have successfully engaged with traders to secure their commitment to lowering costs,” she stated. The Minister revealed that some importers have already reduced their prices, with broader market adjustments expected soon. “We anticipate these changes to reflect in retail prices as existing stocks are gradually phased out,” she added. Representatives from the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA), the Association of Ghana Industries, and the Food and Beverage Association of Ghana attended the meeting. GUTA President Dr. Joseph Obeng affirmed the association’s commitment to the agreed measures and urged additional policies to sustain the Cedi’s stability. This move is expected to ease financial pressures on consumers, with the full effects likely to be felt within the next 60 days.
