“Pastor’s burial stopped” is the main story in the front page of the Times. The story says the body of Reverend Apostle John Kofi Boadi, 57, of the Dansoman Apostolic Church of Ghana, could not be buried at the weekend at the chruch premises at Mpoase, Dansoman as planned. This followed threats of mayhem by residents of the area should the body be buried at the church premises because it could pose a health hazard to them. The matter was reported to the Dansoman Police by some residents and the peace officers moved in to stop the burial.
Some traders at the Makola Number Two Market in Accra have appealed to the government to restrain the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) from forcibly ejecting them until the report of the Parliamentary Committee investigating their grievances are published. Under the heading “Makola traders petition government to stop
ejection”, the paper in another front page story says the group, under the Makola Number Two Traders Welfare Union, accused the AMA of breach of trust, claiming the assembly had failed to honour promises it made to them after their goods and stalls, worth billions of cedis got burned in 1993.
