Police at Assin Aworoso in the Assin South District of the Central Region have arrested a middle-aged man, for allegedly setting 3-bedroom house being occupied by his girlfriend on fire on Thursday night.
Eyewitnesses say Kofi Bokor decided to end the life of Akua Sakina after the latter informed him of her decision to end the relationship and travel out of the community for greener pastures though they have a daughter together.
In his attempt to stop his lover from traveling, Kofi Bokor allegedly sneaked into the house at night and set the room in which Sakina and her siblings slept on fire; he however took his own daughter to safety before carrying out his plan.
No lives were lost in the inferno but the 3-bedroom house got razed down.
A relative of Akua Sakina told the Media that, this is the second attempt on her life by the suspect as he had earlier poisoned her food.
The two lovers, according to the relative are related by blood and that all efforts by the family to get Kofi Bokor to back-off from Sakina have landed on rocks.
An elderly man collapsed and died in New York City on Sunday morning shortly after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, officials revealed Monday.
The man, who was in his 70s, fell as he left Manhattan’s Jacob Javits Convention Center just 25 minutes after receiving his shot, New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said in a statement.
On-site security and first responders raced to his side within seconds, but the man, who has not yet been named, was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly afterwards.
It’s currently unclear if the man’s death is linked to the vaccine, with an investigation now underway.
Adverse reactions to the vaccine are considered extremely rare, with those few cases most commonly linked to an allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
‘Initial indications are that the man did not have any allergic reaction to the vaccine,’ Zucker, however, said in his statement.

The man’s sudden collapsing followed a mandatory 15-minute observation period, in which he ‘exhibited no adverse reactions or any distress,’ Zucker said.
The FDNY said the patient was taken to the hospital by Senior Care just before 11am Sunday, where he died shortly after arriving.
The identity of the man has not yet been revealed by officials. It’s also unclear which type of COVID-19 vaccine he received.
The Javits Center and Zucker’s office have not yet returned a DailyMail.com request for comment on the matter.
In his statement, Zucker stressed that he and other public health experts believe the vaccine ‘is safe, and together with continued vigilance including wearing a mask and social distancing, it will bring an end to this pandemic.’
‘I encourage all eligible New Yorkers to get vaccinated,’ Zucker continued.
The Javits Center opened as a mass-vaccination site in January and is one of several in the New York City area. It was originally used as a field hospital after the coronavirus pandemic first struck last spring.
Nearly one million people in New York City have so far been vaccinated, with 1.5 million residents having received their first doses statewide.
Across the US, the daily number of people getting vaccinated now well surpasses the numbers infected, with the country averaging 1.3 million shots per-day.
Nearly 42 million doses have so far been administered in total.
At least one dose of a vaccine has been administered to 31,579,100 million people, which equals to 9.6 per cent of the population.
Just over 9,147,000 Americans have now received both doses of a vaccine, amounting to 2.78 per cent of the population.
A few days ago, I wrote a letter to the confused aunties encouraging them to look out for men that have vision and direction in life, a man that knows where he is going to, a man that you can be a helpmeet to, and not just any man that is an accident waiting to happen.
A lot of you were so excited, you wanted every man to read that message. Well, a lot of them did and are trying to be more serious with life and their purpose now.
You know there is always a flip side to this kinda thing, so today we will be looking at the other side of the coin.
Sister, I hope you know that you don’t deserve a man with vision if you are going to become a liability to him tomorrow. Oh Yes, every man with vision needs an asset as a wife, not a liability.
You know that statement, “Behind every successful man there is a woman.” You remember it right? Well, that statement is missing important texts.
Let me help you insert the missing texts. “Behind every successful man, there is a woman who is an asset to him”.
Aunty, what do you bring to the table of that relationship or marriage? Are you just there to take and take and keep taking. Is it just sex that you are good at?
Can your man invite you to his company dinner or function and feel confident that you won’t disgrace his generation because you can hold an intellectual discussion.
Or is the only thing you know about is the latest make up style or the new episode on Zee world series. Are you just a beautiful face on an empty head?
A man with vision also needs a woman with a vision. Your visions are meant to be in alignment, complimenting each other, and that way both of you can work as a team to ensure that you build a life that will change other lives and bring fulfillment to both of you.
According to Basiru Sunday Amuneni, A man with vision needs a woman that can:
Searched and send him link(s) for job applications if he needs a change of job.
Do some independent research for him on something he is working on.
Hook him up with a client or get him a gig if he is into private practice; whether he is an MC, Speaker, Coach, DJ, Comedian, Welder, Architect, Editor, Musician, Poet, Banker or Lawyer.
Refer him to a business idea or prospect.
Help him with sorting out the documentation for submission of the company profile for a contract he is bidding for.
Tell somebody about his business hoping they would patronize him.
Seek opportunities and refer him to short courses, seminars, fellowships, and volunteer positions that would help his professional or business growth.
Put in a word for him in a situation where you could influence a decision in his favour.
Buy him fuel for the same car he uses to spin you around town, but you sit-in and point in admiration at flashier cars on the road.
Visited his office or workplace even on the field to encourage him.
=====================================
Aunty, don’t be a liability. The best relationships are between two givers willing to give their all to the one they love. Both are willing to do all they can to see that the one they love is growing and becoming a better vision of themselves.
Nobody wants a liability that is just focused on what they will get. This could be the reason all the men you have come across have left you because you aren’t helping in any way. It’s only sex that you can offer, so they collect it and move on.
I know some of you will say I have done this for some guys but they still left. See eh, any man that has a vision and common sense will not see a woman that is a suitable helper for him and let her go, any man that does that hmm, he has an internal problem caused by his village people. So his case is different.
This is not meant to be one sided. If your partner is not adding value to you, that’s an unequal yoke and you are not meant to be yoked with such a person.
Find someone willing and ready to build and grow with you.
Cheers.
