Former President of the Republic of Ghana, flagbearer and leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has thrown tantrums at President Akufo-Addo, claiming he is doing everything within his power to paint the country black by deliberately harboring criminal militias, De Eye-Group, a pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) militias at the former seat of government, the Osu Castle.

The former president who recently came under attack by some section of Ghanaians for his ‘boot-for-boot’ comment following the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence, where some members alleged to be sympathizers of the NDC were brutalized in a broad day-light, took to his twitter handle to vent out his frustration and disappointment.

According to Mr. Mahama, I have “watched a harrowing expose of how the Osu Castle, until 2013 the office of the president, now used as an Annex, has become the Head Quarters and training camp of a private militia wing of the NPP and President Akufo-Addo. Clearly, this administration has produced enough paint to paint the whole nation black.” – He claims.

On Thursday, 7th of March Joy News showed an investigative piece by its Investigative Reporter, Manasseh Azure Awuni, where a criminal militia group associated with the governing NPP was being trained at an important state facility classified as a security zone. The group has been meeting at the facility for close to two years.

At a time that the country is waiting on the NPP and the NDC to take decisive action on operations of their militia groups, JOY NEWS head of investigative desk, Manasseh Azure Awuni went undercover to expose the activities of De-Eye Group, its operations and its link to the NPP.

A Ghanaian Development Communication Specialist, Administrator, and Freelance Journalist based in Ghana, West Africa, with a strong interest in rural development, social advocacy, media engagement, and community empowerment.. More An ambitious media, development communication, and administrative professional with over two decades of experience in public service, journalism, and institutional administration, seeking to leverage a rich and diverse skill set within the communications and development arena. Throughout my professional journey, I have consistently demonstrated leadership, professionalism, innovation, and a relentless drive for excellence in every responsibility entrusted to me. My passion lies not merely in communicating information, but in using communication as a strategic tool for social transformation, community empowerment, and sustainable development.

As a seasoned Development Communication Specialist and Administrator, I strongly believe that communication should serve society responsibly and meaningfully. Journalism, to me, is not simply about putting words and sentences together, reporting events, or entertaining audiences. It is about probing deeper into issues, going beyond the surface, uncovering hidden truths, amplifying marginalized voices, and engaging directly with communities — especially the vulnerable and underserved — to understand their realities and contribute to lasting solutions to their challenges.

Over the years, I have built extensive experience in public communication, administration, stakeholder engagement, media relations, rural sensitization, and social advocacy through my work with Ghana Cocoa Board and my contributions as a freelance journalist and writer in Ghana, West Africa. I have authored numerous articles on national development, governance, agriculture, labour relations, and social issues across major Ghanaian media platforms, demonstrating strong analytical, writing, and public engagement skills.

My academic background in Development Communication and Management Studies has further equipped me with the capacity to design and implement communication strategies that promote behavioural change, community participation, and institutional growth. I am deeply committed to socially responsible journalism, ethical communication, and development-oriented media practice that prioritizes people, progress, and accountability.
