GHANA'S COOPERATION WITH THE FBI: A WIN FOR INTERNATIONAL CRIME-FIGHTING By Cassandra Duku June 28, 2025   Story Source:Graphic online      Ghana’s recent cooperation with the FBI in extraditing individuals suspected of cyber-related fraud underscores the country’s growing role in combating transnational crime.

For once, I wasn’t rushing like a character in an action movie. That alone set a good tone for the day. When the lecture began, something surprising happened — I actually understood the topic. Not halfway. Not “I think I get it.” I understood it clearly. And that feeling gave me a boost of confidence I didn’t even know I needed. Break time was calm too. I spent a moment talking with classmates, laughing about school stress, and realizing that we’re all just trying our best. Sometimes, knowing you’re not alone in the chaos makes everything feel lighter. The rest of the day moved smoothly — no surprise quizzes, no group work drama, no unexpected deadlines. Just ...
