Telecel Ghana has presented One Million Cedis to the first monthly winner in the Telecel M’ahitti promo. Adiza Ibrahim, a widowed mother of eight who resides in Prang, a rural community several hours from Ghana’s capital, had received messages about Telecel’s M’ahitti Promo and eventually opted in after her daughter encouraged her to give it a try. She wasn’t expecting to win anything. Certainly not one of the grand prizes. 

edae9964 9aff 4751 807c 1f9073e6c876

The presentation ceremony held in Yeji, Bono East Region in the presence of her family, community members and the media was the first time a grand prize was presented within the community of the winner.  Making the presentation, Aneth Muga, Director of Consumer Business Unit of Telecel said, “Adiza’s story is an incredible one. It is a life transforming story, and we are super excited to present the first million in the Telecel M’ahitti Promo to her. We launched this promo in July to appreciate our customers with daily, weekly and monthly rewards. Most importantly we knew this promo would transform the lives of 3 grand prize winners.”

When Adiza Ibrahim received a call telling her she had won GHS 1 million, her first reaction was disbelief. There was no way, she thought, that the call could be real. 

It took a personal visit to convince her. Officials from Telecel made the long journey to her community to meet Adiza and her family and confirm the news in person. That was when it finally began to sink in: She had just become a millionaire. Her story makes the win even more remarkable.

For years, Adiza has worked hard to provide for her family, including cooking for children at a school in their community as she sought to make ends meet. Raising eight children has come with its own challenges, and at different points, some of her children have had to stay out of school because she could not afford to continue their education.

Speaking about what the GHC 1 million means to her, Adiza says one of her biggest priorities is getting her children back into school and ensuring that they can continue their education for as long as they desire. She also plans to establish a business for herself and another for her eldest child, who has completed an apprenticeship.

“This is very good news for me and my family. By God’s grace, because of this win, I can now make sure all my kids go through school successfully. Our lives will change!” She said excitedly. 

For Adiza, becoming a millionaire was never something she imagined for herself. She has repeatedly spoken about how blessed she feels, especially because the win came from simply opting into a promotion,she had no expectation of winning.

As one of the largest consumer reward campaigns in Ghana’s telecom sector, the Telecel M’ahitti Promo will reward 100 customers daily with GH¢100 each, up to 6 customers weekly with GH¢20,000 each, and now two grand prize winners with GH¢1 million each in September and October.

Supervised by the National Lottery Authority – Caritas, all Telecel customers can participate for free by dialling *500#, texting WIN to 500, or activating the promotion through the Telecel Play App. Airtime recharges, bundle purchases and Telecel Cash deposits of GH¢10 or more earn points, with bonus entries for customers who use the Telecel Play App and Telecel Cash.

From cooking for schoolchildren to support her family, to receiving GHS 1 million that could help put her own children back in school, Adiza’s transformation story is one of an unexpected opportunity arriving at just the right time.

Bethlyn Arthur’s Sickle Cell Journey: Turning a Health Battle Into a Voice of Hope

ACCRA, GHANA — Bethlyn Nana Adjoa Arthur is using her personal experience with sickle-cell disease to strengthen conversations around awareness, resilience, healthcare and the realities faced by people living with the condition.

Arthur is a certified midwife, public health professional, international speaker and patient voice advocate whose work connects lived experience, healthcare knowledge and public health action.

BETHLYN ARTHUR
HER STORY. HER STRENGTH. OUR INSPIRATION.

According to information verified by GhanaNews.org, Arthur is currently receiving intensive care following a severe sickle-cell crisis. Her experience has brought renewed attention to the reality behind sickle-cell awareness campaigns and the continuing need for education, empathy and better support for people living with the condition.

Her story comes during Sickle Cell Awareness Month, a period that provides an opportunity to move beyond slogans and examine what living with sickle-cell disease actually means for patients and their families.

Beyond Awareness: The Reality of Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle-cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects haemoglobin and causes red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped. These cells can obstruct blood flow and contribute to serious complications, including severe pain, anaemia, infections and stroke.

The World Health Organization says an estimated 7.74 million people were living with sickle-cell disease globally in 2021, with sub-Saharan Africa accounting for nearly 80 percent of the global burden.

The condition therefore requires more than periodic awareness campaigns. It requires early diagnosis, appropriate medical care, access to treatment, informed families and sustained public-health education.

A Professional Who Also Understands the Patient’s Reality

Arthur’s background gives her advocacy a distinctive perspective. As a certified midwife and public health professional, she understands healthcare from a professional standpoint while also speaking from lived experience as a patient and advocate.

That combination allows her to connect medical knowledge with the human realities that patients and families encounter outside clinical settings.

Her profile describes her as an international speaker and patient voice advocate working to transform how the world understands sickle-cell disease.

GhanaNews.org’s broader commitment to public-interest journalism includes health reporting designed to help readers understand issues affecting families, healthcare professionals and communities. Explore more GhanaNews.org coverage.

Why Her Story Matters

Arthur’s journey provides an opportunity to discuss issues that often receive limited attention outside awareness campaigns, including genotype decisions, treatment realities, family life, resilience and the emotional demands of living with a chronic condition.

For families, conversations about genotype and sickle-cell disease can influence important decisions before and after childbirth. For patients, access to reliable information and appropriate healthcare can be critical to managing the condition and reducing complications.

The Ghana Health Service has previously highlighted public education, newborn screening and early intervention as important parts of efforts to improve outcomes for people affected by sickle-cell disease.

That emphasis is consistent with the need for awareness to continue beyond a designated awareness month.

From Personal Struggle to Public Advocacy

Arthur’s story demonstrates how personal health experiences can become powerful platforms for public education.

Rather than allowing the condition to define her solely through illness, she has positioned her experience within a broader conversation about healthcare, patient voices, education and public health.

Her advocacy also reflects a wider principle of responsible health communication: people living with chronic conditions should not be viewed only through statistics or medical terminology. Their experiences, voices and perspectives matter.

Sickle Cell Awareness Must Continue Beyond September

The Ghana Health Service has emphasised awareness, newborn screening and early intervention in its public-health messaging around sickle-cell disease.

The need for continued education is significant because sickle-cell disease is a lifelong condition whose complications can vary considerably from one person to another.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that sickle-cell disease can cause severe pain and other complications and that management involves preventing and treating complications through appropriate medical care.

For advocates such as Arthur, the challenge is therefore not simply to make people aware that sickle-cell disease exists. It is to help society understand the people living with it.

A Voice of Hope

Bethlyn Nana Adjoa Arthur’s journey is ultimately a story about more than illness. It is about resilience, professional knowledge, patient advocacy and the determination to turn lived experience into something that can educate and inspire others.

At a time when sickle-cell awareness is receiving renewed attention, her story offers an important reminder: behind every statistic is a person, a family and a lived experience.

Her message can therefore extend far beyond September — encouraging greater understanding, informed healthcare decisions and stronger support for people living with sickle-cell disease.

Enoch Ansong Raises Alarm Over Alleged 400GB MTN Data Usage in 14 Days

Ghanaian tech creator and GhanaNews.org anchor publisher Enoch Ansong, popularly known as AiWithEnoch, has publicly questioned an alleged 400GB data usage recorded on his MTN account within 14 days.

Ghanaian tech creator Enoch Ansong, popularly known as AiWithEnoch, has raised concerns over an alleged 400GB mobile-data usage within 14 days, following an interaction with MTN Ghana’s customer-support team.

img 4286

Ansong, who is also an anchor publisher with GhanaNews.org, shared his frustration in a social-media video, saying he had been told that he had exhausted approximately 400GB of data over the 14-day period.

“MTN Ghana is trying to gaslight me that I have finished 400 gig in 14 days,” Ansong said in the video, expressing disbelief over the reported figure.

The complaint has sparked discussion among Ghanaian internet users, particularly those who have experienced concerns about unusually rapid data depletion.

A wider concern among MTN users

Although Ansong’s specific case has not been independently verified by GhanaNews.org, his complaint comes amid broader concerns from some Ghanaian consumers about mobile-data consumption and the difficulty of obtaining satisfactory explanations when data appears to disappear unusually quickly.

Recent discussions among Ghanaian mobile users have included complaints about large data bundles being depleted faster than expected and dissatisfaction with customer-support responses. 

The issue is particularly significant for heavy data users, including content creators, developers, online businesses and professionals whose work depends heavily on mobile internet.

What MTN Ghana says about complaints

MTN Ghana’s official customer-support channels allow customers to raise complaints through its call centre, WhatsApp, email, social-media channels and the myMTN app. 

The National Communications Authority has also previously directed consumers experiencing anomalies with mobile-data services to first report the matter to their service provider and escalate unresolved complaints to the regulator. 

The NCA’s directives followed concerns over data-bundle allocations and billing, including measures requiring operators to improve data value and monitoring of billing integrity. 

Enoch’s complaint could reopen a national conversation

For Ansong, the issue goes beyond his personal account.

His public complaint has given other users who believe they have experienced similar problems an opportunity to speak about their own experiences.

The central question is whether customers who dispute unusually high data consumption can receive a clear, transparent breakdown showing exactly how their data was consumed.

At the time of publication, GhanaNews.org has not independently established that MTN Ghana incorrectly deducted 400GB from Ansong’s account, and the allegation should therefore be treated as a customer complaint awaiting clarification.

GhanaNews.org has also not found an official public response from MTN Ghana specifically addressing Ansong’s 400GB allegation.

The platform will continue to follow the matter and update readers should MTN Ghana provide a substantive response.

Young Man Reportedly Dies on Kumasi–Wa Bus, Identity Sought for Family Contact

A young man believed to be between 30 and 33 years old has reportedly died while travelling on a bus from Kumasi towards Wa, with authorities seeking assistance to trace his family.

img 4125

According to information attributed to a police officer and shared by Upper West Media, the man was travelling on the Kumasi–Wa route when a fellow passenger reportedly discovered that he was unresponsive shortly after the bus passed Poyentanga.

He has been identified in the preliminary information as Dabuo Francis, although his identity and other personal details have not been independently confirmed by GhanaNews.org.

The circumstances surrounding his death have not yet been established. The information available at the time of publication does not state whether he had shown signs of illness before boarding the bus or what caused his death.

The appeal is therefore focused on helping authorities and those assisting with the case to locate the man’s relatives.

Anyone who believes they may know Dabuo Francis, or who can help identify and reach his family, is encouraged to contact the nearest police station and provide relevant information.

Poyentanga is located in the Wa West District of the Upper West Region. The area has previously recorded serious incidents along the Wa–Sawla highway, including a fatal road crash in 2024 that claimed three lives, according to the Ghana News Agency.

GhanaNews.org will update this report if further information becomes available from the police or other authoritative sources concerning the man’s identity, family or the circumstances surrounding his death.

Accra, August 21, 2026 — Nestlé Ghana Ltd has launched the Cerelac Akyɛdeɛ Pa Promotion, its first national consumer promotion for the brand in Ghana, offering consumers the opportunity to win cash and mobile rewards, educational scholarships and an all-expenses-paid family trip to Mauritius.

The launch was held at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra and brought together representatives of Nestlé Ghana, the Cerelac team, media partners, retailers, distributors and other stakeholders.

Akyɛdeɛ Pa, which translates as “Good Gift,” is aimed at rewarding mothers, caregivers and families who have made Cerelac part of their children’s feeding journey over the years.

Nestlé Ghana said the promotion is intended not only to offer prizes but also to recognise the trust and loyalty consumers have placed in the brand.

The promotion features a range of rewards, including instant cash and mobile rewards, educational scholarships and an all-expenses-paid trip to Mauritius. Two lucky families will win the grand prize, with the Mauritius package covering travel, accommodation and experiences.

The company described the grand prize as an opportunity for winning families to create lasting memories while celebrating their connection with the Cerelac brand.

Speaking about Cerelac’s position in Ghana, Deborah Kwabla, Corporate Communication and Public Affairs Manager for Nestlé Ghana, described the product as a household brand that has supported mothers and caregivers as children transition from exclusive breastfeeding to complementary feeding.

Nestlé’s published information states that Cerelac is intended as a complementary food for infants from six months and is fortified with nutrients including iron, zinc, iodine and vitamins. [oai_citation:0‡Nestlé CWA](https://www.nestle-cwa.com/en/brands/allbrands/cerelac?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Ms. Kwabla also highlighted the local content of Cerelac production in Ghana, noting that some key ingredients and packaging materials are sourced locally. Nestlé has previously stated that maize used in its cereal brands, including Cerelac, is sourced locally through its agricultural value-chain initiatives. [oai_citation:1‡Nestlé CWA](https://www.nestle-cwa.com/en/csv/communities/increas-local-sourcing?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

She encouraged parents and caregivers to continue patronising Cerelac while taking advantage of the promotion and its various rewards.

Nestlé Ghana also called on media partners to help take information about the promotion to consumers across the country, while retailers and distributors were encouraged to make specially marked promotional packs available and assist consumers with participation.

Consumers have been encouraged to look out for the specially marked Cerelac packs and follow the promotion’s participation instructions for a chance to win.

The promotion has generated excitement around the possibility of winning practical rewards, particularly the educational scholarships, cash prizes and the Mauritius family holiday.

For Nestlé Ghana, the Akyɛdeɛ Pa Promotion is a gesture of appreciation to consumers whose loyalty has helped keep Cerelac in Ghanaian homes for generations.

With two families set to win the grand prize, Mauritius is expected to be the ultimate destination for the promotion’s biggest winners.

The awards ceremony, held at Madina Zongo Junction, forms part of MTN Ghana’s 30th anniversary celebrations under the theme “30 Years of Progress, Powered by You.” The initiative is designed to share the joy of the milestone with customers whose loyalty and trust have contributed to the company’s growth over three decades.

“For 30 years, Ghanaians have trusted MTN to connect them to the people, opportunities and moments that matter most,” she said, adding that the rewards were MTN’s way of thanking customers for being part of the company’s journey.

Madam Kotei Walsh said MTN Ghana’s story is closely connected to the experiences of its customers, including entrepreneurs, students and families who rely on the company’s services to stay connected and pursue opportunities.

A 22-year-old man identified as Christian Owusu has reportedly been sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard labour after pleading guilty to robbery before the Atasemanso Circuit Court in the Ashanti Region.

According to a report shared by UTV Ghana, Owusu entered a guilty plea before the court, leading to his conviction and sentencing.

The case adds to a series of robbery-related prosecutions before courts in the Ashanti Region as authorities continue efforts to tackle criminal activity and strengthen public safety.

Recent cases before the Atasemanso Circuit Court have also resulted in lengthy prison sentences for robbery convictions. In July 2025, three 18-year-old men were sentenced to 10 years each after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery and multiple counts of robbery following an attack at Boubai in the Asokore Mampong Municipality.

GhanaNews.org will continue to follow developments in crime, policing and court proceedings across the Ashanti Region.

Residents of Ablekuma North are witnessing renewed attention to infrastructure as Member of Parliament Ewurabena Aubynn continues to push development initiatives across the constituency.

img 3357

Road and drainage works have been among the key areas receiving attention, with recent activity focusing on infrastructure and flood-control challenges affecting communities within Ablekuma North.

The Ablekuma North Municipal Assembly recently reported that the MP, together with Municipal Chief Executive Musah Adamu Kalamu, inspected ongoing dredging works at the Sakaman and Lafa storm drains. The exercise involves the removal of accumulated silt, solid waste and overgrown vegetation to improve water flow and reduce flooding risks.

The Assembly said the drains are important flood-control channels for surrounding communities, where poor drainage has historically contributed to flooding, property damage and disruption to economic activities.

Road development has also remained a major concern for residents of the constituency. Earlier reporting indicated that roads, sanitation and flooding were among the key development challenges identified by Aubynn after she won the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun in July 2025.

With infrastructure works continuing, attention is increasingly focused on whether the interventions will deliver lasting improvements to roads, drainage and living conditions across the constituency.
