  "account": "A 65-year-old man has been arrested in Kumasi for allegedly using the voice of former Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei Mensah to insult northerners. The suspect, known as 'Akomadan Adjei Nkansah', recorded the audio in 2018 and remained silent for eight years before being apprehended last Thursday. He had insulted Joshua Hamidu Akamba, a National Democratic Congress member from the north, and extended his insults to all northerners. The audio was circulated on social media, damaging the ex-minister's reputation. Upon being caught, the suspect publicly cursed the perpetrator to go mad within a year if they did not apologize. He also threatened to curse the suspect's family members. The police tracked down and arrested the man after receiving a complaint from the ex-minister.",
