Ghanaian king who rules his people via Skype in southern Germany builds a jail for women

Ngissif Ki-moon Cephas Kosi Bansah, who governs more than 300,000 people in Hohoe, east of Ghana, has built a women's prison in the city, reports the German News Agency (DPA). The 69-year-old monarch, who has lived in Ludwigshafen since 1970, said the city had no prison for women. "Detained men and women of all ages were detained and women were sexually assaulted by men," he said. "It was an unacceptable situation - we had to build cells for women," he said. The building is painted white and has three cells containing bunk beds. The cells have tiled walls as well as a shower and toilet, characteristics that are not at all standard in Ghana. From now on, women and juvenile suspects will be detained in the prison. The prison will be decorated with a German flag, while a plaque recognizes the financial contributions of the city of Heiligkreuzsteinach in Baden-Württemberg and Sonja Müller, another resident of the state. While Bansah and his wife covered two-thirds of the costs, the rest came from private contributions.

The monarch works as a full-time mechanic in Germany and governs his people over Skype.
Céphas grew up in Ghana but he moved to Germany in 1970 before he was appointed king. His kingdom consists of 300,000 Ewe people.

He originally moved to Germany when his grandfather, the then king, encouraged him to train there as a mechanic. After finishing his studies and gaining full citizenship, he settled and set up his own garage in Ludwigshafen. He continued living a peaceful life until 1987 when he received a Fax which would change his life forever.

His grandfather, the King of Hohoe, had died and Bansah's father and eldest brother were deemed unfit to rule because they were left-handed, which the Ewe people considered to be 'unclean'. This meant that Céphas was his grandfather's successor, and the new king.

He now lives in Ludwigshafen with his wife Gabriele Bansah, 59 and his two children Carlo and Katharina, continuing his job as a mechanic and his role as King. He uses Skype to govern his people and still visits Ghana up to eight times per year.Räägi sõbrale... #AFRICA ... spill TEA ABOUT THE TOPIC ABOVE.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
