    Inspecter Felix Gbekle, the Nalerigu station Officer has been arrested for facilitating the illegal acquisition of a gun license for a suspected thief who was standing trial for illegal possession of arms and stealing at the Nalerigu court in the North East Region.


    In August this year, the North East police command began investigating suspect Adam Musah for alleged stealing. The police later uncovered an unregistered pump action gun in his house. Mr. Musah was arrested and charged with possessing an unlicensed firearm and alleged stealing and put before the Nalerigu District Court.


    As trail progressed, Mr. Musah miraculously produced a license for his gun. The license was given by the Tesano Divisional police. The prosecution prayed the court to for time to examine the license. The court granted the request.


    Investigations into the license revealed that inspector Gbekle, working with an accomplice in the Tesano Divisional police, dubiously obtained the license by taking the picture of the gun, which was serving as an exhibit in the trial, and sending the Tesano Divisional Divisional police command for the license to be prepared and handed to him.


    He then took delivery of the license later and handed it over to Musah so that the court, upon seeing the license may drop charges of unlawful possession of a firearm against him. But the scheme has been discovered by the North East police, who are now investigating the inspector.


    Inspector Gbekle was on monday interogated at the North East Regional police command and he admitted helping the suspect to procure the license by sending photos to a colleague at the formed police unit of the Tesano Divisional police command where he worked formerly.


    He has since been detained and shall face further action in accordance with the rules and regulations for the service and the law.

    Almost 90% Of Men In Ghana Want To Be Raped But They Don’t Get The Chance – Lady Says

    While most women are crying and cursing men who sexually abuse them, a lady by name Agudie Afia Nkumin has said that most men in Ghana wish to be raped but they don’t get the opportunity.

    There are so many human rights activists fighting for rape victims and most of these victims happen to be women. The cases of men being rape victims is very low hence it is assumed women are the ones who suffer the most.

    Well, according to Agudie in a Facebook post sighted by Ghbase.com, despite the trauma that comes with rape, there are 90% of men in Ghana who wish to be in the same situation as the women, but unfortunately for them, they don’t get the opportunity.

    Her post was approved by most of her followers who agreed with her assertion. So the big question here is, why would anyone want to be raped regardless of their gender. Do men really want to be raped? Do they also get traumatized as the women who get sexually abused?

    As our cherished readers, we would like to hear your thoughts on this issue.

  • Birth Control Pills Should Be Given To Men Not Women – Eric Benèt

    Birth Control Pills Should Be Given To Men Not Women – Eric Benèt

    American R&B singer and songwriter, Eric Benèt Jordan professionally known as Eric Benèt has stated that birth control pills should be given to men instead of women.

    According to him in a post on his Twitter page, men are more susceptible when it comes to child birth than women because a woman can only get pregnant once a year.

    He explained that a man can impregnate four women a day per year which is equivalent to 1460 pregnancies.

    He blamed scientist for creating birth control for the wrong gender.

    Most young ladies who are sexually active take birth control pills to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Some health professionals have even encouraged the use of it despite some serious side effects.

    The oral contraceptive pill, commonly known as “the pill,” is a hormone-based method of preventing pregnancy. It can also help resolve irregular menstruation, painful or heavy periods, endometriosis, acne, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

    Used correctly, the pill is highly effective, but because people make mistakes, 6 to 12 pregnancies in every 100 are thought to occur each year while using it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) put the failure rate for both types of pill at 9 percent.

    One thing most young people ignore is that the birth pill doesn’t prevent the contraction of STDs and other sexually transmitted diseases.

    Some women have lost their wombs while others have have had disruption in their menstrual cycles.

    With all these risk factors, Eric believes that the birth control pills should be revised and be made for men to take.
