Stonebwoy wedding photosWhile in Lagos for the Nigerian Independence Day celebrations I have seen several reports about an attack on Stonebwoy during his recent concert, that left his wife with a cut on her back. Stonebwoy was nearly stabbed minutes before he stepped on stage to entertain the multitude who gathered at the Sakasaka Park at Ashaiman on September 30 evening. The musician confirmed the issue on his Facebook page Sunday morning, hours after the event ended. Stonebwoy who recently married added that even though the attackers missed him as target, the knife cut his darling wife, Louisa on her back. Despite muggers slashing his wife, Stonebwoy went ahead to perform just to make his fans happy. The BHiM Nation boss rushed to the hospital minutes after his full performance at the Ashaiman To The World Concert.

Artistes who supported Stonebwoy at the Ashaiman To The World concert included LilWin, Kumi Guitar, Joyce Blessing, Kofi Kinaata, Becca, Obibinii, King Promise, Fancy Gadam, Patapaa, Teephlow, Kurl Songx, Shatta Wale and many others. Screen Shot 2017 10 01 at 10.05.45 AM stonebwoy cutting Ghana Police has commented on the attack The Public Relations Officer for Tema Divisional Police, ACP Joseph Benefo Darkwah speaking on radio Univers’ Brunch2Lunch entertainment show stated that they have not had any official complaint from the artiste or his management concerning the attack. He told Abrantepa, host of the mid-morning show on Monday, that his outfit is waiting to hear from the musician and management to take further action. Commenting on the event, ACP Joseph stated that “everything went on perfect despite electrical fault”. He continued that “our men were there to provide the needed security”. Blakk Cedi, manager of Stonebwoy has also commented on the events, saying he is not happy about the public blaming Zylofon Media and security men who were present at the event for the misfortune. To him, the group members who were present at the concert did their effort to put up a successful concert so “the team will remain cohesive ad that no disharmony will stem from what happened to our queen.” Blakk Cedi believes what happened on Saturday night was just an accident but not a planned even to take the life of the BET award-winner. He later made it clear that “security breaches occur even at the White House and Buckingham palace, so it could also happen at saka saka park.” “IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SOME ON SOCIAL MEDIA CHOOSE TO BLAME THE MANAGER, ZYLOFON MEDIA,SECURITY STAFF AND THE TEAM AROUND, BUT I HOPE THAT THEIR ASSERTIONS WILL NOT SOW ANY SEEDS OF DISCORD AMONG US. I FEEL THAT WE HAVE A VERY LOYAL AND SUPPORTIVE STAFF AND I PRAY THAT THE TEAM WILL REMAIN COHESIVE AND THAT NO DISHARMONY WILL STEM FROM WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR QUEEN. I WANT TO BELIEVE THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED AT THE VENUE WAS AN ACCIDENT RATHER THAN SOMEONE TRYING TO ASSASSINATE OR STAB OUR ARTISTE.IT WAS ALL LOVE ON THE NIGHT AND ALL THE NUMBERS WERE PRESENT BECAUSE OF STONEBWOY. (NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS ,WHY WILL SOMEBODY TRY TO TAKE THE LIFE OF STONEBWOY AT A PLACE WHERE HE’S GOT EVERYBODY THERE TO DEFEND HIM?). SECURITY BREACHES OCCUR EVEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND BUCKINGHAM PALACE, SO IT COULD ALSO HAPPEN AT SAKA SAKA PARK.”  ]]>

Ghana International Trade Fair Center on the eviction and demolition of Fantasy Dome

Published

IMG 20240318 WA0010

The Ghana Trade Fair Company Limited has dismantled the “Fantasy Dome,” owned by Fantasy Entertainment, which has been on the trade fair site since January 2018, to pave way for developers to complete the ongoing “Ghana International Trade Fair Center Development Project.”

The dismantled facility will be available to its owners for it to be relocated.

The tenancy agreement between owners of the Fantasy Dome and the Trade Fair Company Limited expired on 31 December 2023. Since then, all efforts by the management of the Trade Fair Company Limited to get “Fantasy Entertainment” to remove the “Fantasy Dome” from the Trade Fair site has proved futile.

The CEO of Fantasy Entertainment has stated in a Saturday March 17th interview that he has an injunction, but the Trade Fair Company Limited has VEHEMENTLY DENIED any such injunction. In fact the company states that it has not been served with any court processes and no injunction was served on the day of the demolition.

Ironically, access to the portion of the site where the “Fantasy Dome” is situated at the Trade Fair site is vital for developers to construct the power and water infrastructure for the project as well as the drainage system to serve the new Ghana International Trade Fair Center. The dome has hampered the progress of these works for approximately 12 months.

To this end, the Trade Fair Company Limited on Saturday, 16 March 2024, embarked on an exercise supervised by the Ghana Police Service with support from the National Security Ministry to take down the “Fantasy Dome” in order for construction works on the Trade Fair site to proceed freely.

Brief background

The Ghana Trade Fair Company (GTFCL) was established by an Executive Instrument (EI) in 1960 as a project to facilitate Ghana’s post-independence trade and industrialization drive.

The Executive Instrument 10 acquired a 239.92-acre land for this purpose and to showcase Ghana’s exports with the view to attracting investors into its fledgling economy.

From its origins in 1960, GTFCL has metamorphosed into a limited liability company strategically positioned to promote and facilitate trade in Ghana.

There have been attempts by successive governments to revive the company through various public-private partnership initiatives. These attempts have focused on redeveloping the entire center under various themes. The current redevelopment project is considered as a core part of President Nana Akufo Addo’s vision to position Ghana as a trade hub for West Africa.

The new Ghana International Trade Fair Center Development Project, when completed, would have a convention and an exhibition center, a technology hub, retail mall, commercial offices, hotel accommodation, and public realm spaces.
Infrastructure works and construction of the major exhibition center are now underway.

It is under the Akufo-Addo government that the company was revived to successfully undertake an aggressive redevelopment of the site. The management and board of directors of the company under this government have worked tirelessly to turn the company into a commercially viable business today and have secured funding from development partners to develop the site.
