Ghana’s entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following news of the death of actress Araba, widely known for her role in the popular television comedy series Efiewura.

The news of her alleged passing was first shared by Canada-based Ghanaian social media personality Evelyn Aidoo, popularly known as Serwaa Broni.

In a video posted on her TikTok page on Monday, March 9, 2026, Serwaa Broni said she had received several calls from people seeking confirmation about rumours circulating online regarding the actress’s death.

According to her, she later contacted some individuals close to the actress who confirmed the sad news.

In the video, Serwaa Broni stated that Araba passed away while receiving treatment at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, Canada. However, she did not provide the exact date of the actress’s passing.

“I have her brother George’s number. I have called him several times, but he has not picked up the call. So I called a few other people, and it has been confirmed that she died at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton,” she said.

Serwaa Broni also claimed that the late actress had been battling several health challenges prior to her death, including heart-related complications. She indicated that it was unclear whether those conditions directly contributed to her passing.

GaDangme Spiritual Leader Summons Abusuapanin Tupac Over Daddy Lumba’s Burial Site Claims

The office of the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse, the Spiritual Overlord of the GaDangme people, has reportedly summoned the family head of the late Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, following controversy surrounding the musician’s burial site.

Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60, leaving behind a rich musical legacy that shaped Ghana’s highlife music industry for decades.

The legendary musician was survived by two wives—Akosua Serwaa, whom he married traditionally in 1991 and under German civil law in 2004, and Priscilla Ofori Atta, popularly known as Odo Broni.

His funeral service was held on December 13, 2025, at Heroes Park near the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, drawing thousands of mourners including fans, colleagues in the music industry and prominent personalities.

Weeks after his passing, rumours began circulating that the late “Aben Wo Ha” hitmaker had been buried at his residence in East Legon in Accra rather than at a public cemetery.

In an interview with Ezra TV on February 26, 2026, Daddy Lumba’s family head, Abusuapanin Tupac, reportedly confirmed the speculation.

He stated that the musician had been buried at his plush East Legon home in accordance with his final wishes.

According to him, members of the family were aware of the burial location, adding that claims suggesting otherwise were misleading.

Following the comments, the office of the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse reportedly issued a letter summoning Abusuapanin Tupac to appear before the spiritual authority.

Court Refuses Showboy Bail Again

Ghanaian musician and socialite Sam Kwabena Safo Jr, popularly known as Showboy, will remain behind bars after the Adenta Circuit Court turned down his latest bail request.

The ruling came during a court session on March 10, 2026, as Showboy faces accusations of defamation, blackmail, and cyberbullying filed by Ghanaian businessman Davido GH.

The defence sought a new bail order, but the judge refused, confirming that the musician will stay in custody while the case moves forward.

This legal battle follows a tense incident at Showboy’s residence earlier this week.

Follow Your Instincts, Not Just Your Certificates – Nana Ama McBrown Advises Young Women

Ghanaian actress and media personality Nana Ama McBrown has encouraged young people, particularly women, to avoid limiting their ambitions because of academic qualifications.

Addressing participants at the fourth Women of Valour conference in London on March 7, 2026, McBrown shared reflections from her own life to illustrate that success is not always tied to certificates or formal schooling. She told the audience that even without academic credentials, she has built a flourishing career and secured partnerships with about fourteen major brands in Ghana.

For McBrown, personal drive and intuition should carry more weight than the pressure to pursue careers that society considers appropriate for one’s educational background.

“Choose that thing your heart desires, that thing your instincts are pushing you to do. Don’t feel like, ‘I have a certificate, so I can’t be doing an MC job because I’m a PhD holder.’ I have no certificate, but I work with 14 big brands in Ghana. Aside from being on TV for good money, I also earn well from the side. So please, ladies, I beg you, listen to your feelings and stamp it with your instincts,” Nana Ama McBrown stated.

The event took place at the London Hilton on Park Lane and brought together women from varied professional fields for conversations on leadership, resilience, and personal development.

Women of Valour was established by Ghanaian broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah and has grown into an international initiative that amplifies the voices of women who have overcome personal and social struggles. Through storytelling and dialogue, the platform encourages conversations around courage, healing, and transformation.

This year’s gathering also featured several influential speakers from media, advocacy, and international development circles. One of them was Debora Shanley, a globally recognised campaigner who has spent years raising awareness about childhood sexual abuse.

The 2026 edition combined personal testimonies, panel discussions, and networking sessions, all designed to empower women to face their fears, reclaim their voices, and inspire positive change within their communities.

Juliet Ibrahim Reveals She’s Ready To Give Marriage Another Chance

Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim has said she has not shut the door on marriage, despite the difficulties she has faced in past relationships.

Speaking in a recent interview on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, the actress responded positively when host Kwame Dadzie asked whether she would consider getting married again after her divorce and other relationship experiences.

“Yes, I will. I will. Why not?” she said.

The actress explained that her outlook on relationships has evolved over time, largely shaped by personal experiences and growth. According to her, maturity has helped her become more intentional about what she now looks for in a partner.

“You already know what you want that adds value to your life right now. And you really don’t want any stress,” she indicated.

Juliet said her career and lifestyle also influence the kind of relationship she wants. As someone actively involved in her profession, she believes any future partner must understand and support her ambitions rather than expect her to confine herself to traditional domestic roles.

“I’m not the kind of woman who will just sit in the bedroom and kitchen and stay there. I have to be out there. So I need somebody who complements me, someone who understands that I’m both traditional and modern. We meet each other halfway,” she noted.

She also addressed perceptions some men form about her because of her celebrity status. According to her, being in the public eye sometimes leads potential partners to assume she is demanding or difficult, an idea she says often reveals more about them than it does about her.

“So when I hear guys say that, I just think, then you’re not the one for me. It actually makes it easier for me to weed out the ones who aren’t,” she added.

Juliet Ibrahim was previously married to Kwadwo Safo Jnr, the son of inventor and Kantanka Automobile Company founder Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka. The pair tied the knot in 2010 but ended their marriage in 2014. They share a son.

After the divorce, the actress also had a relationship with Nigerian rapper Iceberg Slim.

Over the years, Juliet has openly spoken about some of the painful experiences she encountered in past relationships, including rape and abuse.

GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi Not Linked to Women of Valor London Sponsorship — Partnership Tied to PMMC Jewellery

Independent checks by Ghana Independent News indicate that the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) did not sponsor this year’s Women of Valor event in London, and that the Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, Mr. Sammy Gyamfi, had no involvement whatsoever in the sponsorship arrangement.

Multiple verifiable sources confirm that the commercial partnership associated with the event was undertaken by PMMC Jewelry (now GoldBod Jewellery) — the jewellery manufacturing and marketing brand originally established under the Precious Minerals Marketing Company to promote Ghana’s refined gold jewellery and value-addition industry on international platforms.

Industry observers say the participation formed part of broader efforts to market Ghana’s refined gold and locally manufactured jewellery to global audiences, particularly within premium diaspora and luxury markets such as London. The strategy reflects a growing emphasis on value addition in Ghana’s gold sector, shifting the narrative from the export of raw gold to the promotion of finished Ghanaian jewellery products with higher international market value.

Sources emphasise that the engagement was strictly a commercial brand-promotion initiative tied to PMMC Jewelry (now GoldBod Jewellery) and should not be construed as a sponsorship by GoldBod as an institution or by its CEO. The initiative instead highlights Ghana’s emerging ambition to position its refined jewellery and gold craftsmanship competitively within the global luxury market.

Angel Asiamah, husband of controversial Patricia Asiamah popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has publicly expressed his unwavering love for his wife following her release from prison.

He made the remarks during a thanksgiving service held on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at Heaven Way Gospel Church, the first Sunday service after the televangelist regained her freedom.

The special thanksgiving service drew a large gathering of congregants, with many attendees dressed in white attire to celebrate the return of their church leader.

Addressing the congregation, Angel Asiamah spoke passionately about his emotional attachment to Agradaa, declaring that nothing could come between them.

“The love between us is a great one,” he told the church members.

Angel Asiamah also explained that his decision to follow the legal proceedings involving his wife until the final stages was motivated purely by love rather than personal gain.

He dismissed claims suggesting that he had ulterior motives for supporting his wife during her legal battle.

According to him, his commitment to the case was driven by his desire to see Agradaa’s vision of leading a successful church become a reality.

“I love my Nana Agradaa,” he emphasised, adding that he remains dedicated to supporting her dreams and ministry.

Agradaa’s release from prison has continued to attract widespread public attention, with supporters celebrating her return while critics remain divided over the circumstances surrounding her case.
