Sala jams killed 9 at Kumasi-Asawase

A stampede during a celebration of a Muslim holiday at the Asawase Community Center in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, Thursday has claimed 9 lives so far. 
Six of the dead are females and three males while those injured are receiving treatment at the Manhyia hospital with one person in a critical condition.

It is not clear what caused the stampede but some survivors say, a fight broke out and those inside the Center were in a hurry to get out. 
Muslims all over the world celebrated Eid-Ul-Fitr on Wednesday to mark the end of the month of Ramadan in which Muslims fast for 29/30 days. 
The event at the community center commenced at 8 p.m. was to end at 2 a.m Thursday. The center was overcrowded with a reported 200 to 300 people in attendance.
Charles Amoa-Boateng who spoke to THE PARROTS said, there was a sudden power cut inside the club which caused panic and a madrush for the exit. Another report said 'a noise like a gunshot' was heard from the meter right before the power cut.
There was a lot of people wailing and crying in the fight to get out.
"I was bitten by several people in my fight to get out. Some people were stepping on me while others were throwing their hands for help to get out," he added
Mr Amoa-Boateng continued by saying that he was lucky someone heard his cries and pulled him out of the many people struggling to exit, as, "there was no easy movement at where most of us were suffocating in the heat"
Another survivor said there was an announcement that a fight had broken out inside the Center which caused people to panic thus headed for the exit.

Bulldog has spoken out on his acrimonious break-up with former top act Shatta Wale, who he managed for years until they abruptly ended their relationship. The whole messy break-up was interspersed with threats of violence and exposing nude photos and the like. Speaking on Hitz Fm Wednesday, Bulldog revealed that contrary to most reports, the break-up had nothing to do with money, but instead with the threats Shatta Wale made against his wife. Bulldog said when he heard Shatta Wale was threatening to release the nude photos of his wife, he knew at that point that their working relationship was over.“At the time, I had gotten information that he had my wife’s naked picture and that’s not a joke… The only reason I broke up with Shatta was my family; nothing else. I’m not money conscious. I have worked with people for free” he said. Bulldog said he just wants to set the record straight about the split. Source: ghanacelebrities.com
