Zeila Sulemana: Killing For Love! A Lethal Tragedy Fuelled by Jealousy?
On April 11, 2014, Zeila Sulemana stabbed Rawdia Aminu, a nursing student, in the chest and abdomen during an argument in Tamale. A Tamale High Court sentenced the 22-year-old Zelia Sulemana, to death by hanging after a jury found her guilty of murder.
This week on #MayhemPodcast, John-Andrew Addo tells her story as we try to dig behind the news articles.
The argument stemmed from a love triangle involving Aminu's ex-boyfriend, Alhassan Abdul-Rahman, who was now in a relationship with Sulemana. According to the prosecution, Sulemana had befriended Aminu and even introduced her to her family under false pretenses.
On the day of the incident, Sulemana lured Aminu out of her house to discuss an unspecified issue. The conversation turned confrontational when Aminu discovered Sulemana's relationship with Abdul-Rahman. In a fit of anger, Sulemana fatally stabbed Aminu.

Johnson Kombian: Prison Houdini, Ghana's Michael Scofield or Just Incredibly Lucky?
Johnson Kombian's name has become synonymous with daring prison breaks in Ghana. His escapes, while captivating the public, raised a crucial question: is Kombian an extraordinarily lucky fugitive or a testament to his own cunning and talent? The answer, like Kombian himself, seems to elude easy categorization.
This week on #MayhemPodcast, John-Andrew Addo brings into the spotlight Johnson Kombian and his exploits.
On the surface, luck appears to play a significant role. His escape attempts often involve multiple tries, with the foiled 2016 Nsawam Prison break highlighting the element of chance.
Kombian's first successful escape reportedly relied on help from prison staff, showcasing his dependence on external factors beyond his control. Even his successful escapes haven't guaranteed permanent freedom, with authorities recapturing him multiple times.
So, is Johnson Kombian just lucky, or is he a talented escape artist? Perhaps the answer lies not in absolutes, but in the captivating dance between talent and circumstance that defines his remarkable, and ongoing, story.

Ataa Ayi: Accra's Greatest Thief? - Tales of the Elusive Armed Robber
A specter haunted Accra in the late 1990s – Ataa Ayi, a name that sent shivers down spines and sparked whispers of legend. Was he a Robin Hood, redistributing wealth to the downtrodden, or a ruthless criminal leaving a trail of stolen goods and shattered lives?
This week on #MayhemPodcast, John-Andrew Addo brings into the spotlight Ataa Ayi and his exploits.
Ataa Ayi's exploits were as audacious as they were diverse. Some claimed he scaled walls like a spider, vanished on motorbikes like a desert mirage, and even melted into the ocean's embrace with his loot. Rumors swirled: a vigilante against the corrupt elite, a phantom redistributing ill-gotten gains. Yet, the cold reality of armed robberies and shattered lives painted a different picture.
The police were left chasing shadows, Ataa Ayi always one step ahead. His capture in 2005 and subsequent 160-year sentence brought a complex figure to light. He was a criminal, yes, but the allure of the Robin Hood myth persists.

Dr. Sri Yogi Ram Beckley (https://3xtra.tv/search/beckley) is a controversial figure who has been accused of being a serial fraudster and cult leader.
