Entertainment pundit, Halifax Ansah Addo has described the press conference put up by Akuapem Poloo yesterday following her bail as “useless and risky.”

According to him, Akuapem Poloo didn’t need to be speaking publicly to the media since her case is still substantive.

Speaking to Abeiku Santana on UTV’s United Showbiz Show last night, Halifax Ansah Addo said Akuapem Poloo did wrong by organizing a press conference to speak about a very delicate issue that is still pending in court.

The radio presenter intimated that Akuapem Poloo could be shooting herself in the foot and putting herself in an obscure situation by holding that press conference which could have dire legal ramifications.

Halifax Ansah Addo believes the press conference has no bearing on the court case and the content of what Akuapem Poloo said was grave.

“The press conference was only useful to the media but it was totally useless to the substantive case in the court. It is even risky looking at the content of what our sister [Akuapem Poloo] said at the press conference,” he said.

The Pa2pa lieutenant, Patapaa aka Patapeezy has explained why he detests Lynx Entertainment signee Kuami Eugene.

According to the ‘one corner’ hitmaker, Kuami is disrespectful and arrogant.

Patapaa opined that Kuami Eugene can not proclaim himself as the best highlife artiste currently.

He claimed that the ‘Angela’ hitmaker strains to sing whiles he does the opposite and sings to the understanding of music enthusiasts.

The Swedru-based artiste opined that Kuami Eugene doesn’t deserve the ‘King of highlife’ tag adding that Akwaboah and Kidi are better than him(Kuami Eugene).

The ‘jama’ singer stated emphatically that he is way better than Kuami Eugene.

Ten food vendors and three taxi drivers who operate at the Achimota government hospital have tested positive for COVID-19, Starrfm.com.gh has gathered.

The cases were confirmed after the hospital decided to conduct mass testing for individuals who do business within the hospital community.

The samples were taken to the Noguchi memorial centre and came out positive.

Nurses and other medical staff of the hospital are currently undergoing compulsory testing for COVID-19 beginning today Tuesday, April 28.

Meanwhile, a police officer at Adenta in Accra has tested positive for COVID-19 after arresting and detaining a suspect who defied the lockdown directive.

According to Starrfm.com.gh sources within the security agencies, the suspect, who was apparently positive of the virus, was detained for a longer period at the Adenta police cells after court hearing because the Prisons service was not accepting new inmates as a result of the pandemic.

A source at the Adenta district police command says the officer has been asked to self-quarantine after he tested positive.

Coronavirus death toll in Ghana now stands at 11 with 1,550 infections and about 150 recoveries.

Sensational Ghanaian female vocalist, Adina in a recent submission has addressed some concerns about those who do secular songs especially those who do love songs.

There has been a popular assertion that only gospel artistes are doing God’s work, however, Adina stated that this isn’t entirely true.

According to Adina, even though she’s no more singing in the church she believes what she’s doing is also ministerial work.

She stated that her schedules do not allow her practice to sing in church so she has decided to use the medium she has now to preach to others.

Explaining the reason why she’s doing love songs and not gospel songs, the artist said love is also God’s ministry and God is love. Loving is also part of the work of God. Its the ministry of love.
