Corrections
We aim to be accurate. When we are not, we correct the record.
Our approach
- We review every correction request.
- If a report contains an error of fact, we correct the article.
- For significant errors, we add a note to the article explaining what was changed.
- If a report identifies someone it should not, we remove the details or the article.

Takedown and privacy requests
If a story identifies a child, identifies the victim of a sexual offence, contains a private address or phone number, or reports a case that was later dropped or ended in acquittal, use the form below and begin your message with TAKEDOWN. You can also email editor@ghanacrimes.com with TAKEDOWN in the subject line. These requests go to the top of the editors' queue and the details are removed while we review.
Corrections log
- 27 Oct 2026 · Afenyo-Markin withdraws defamation suit against NEIP boss Eric Adjei: The case-status label on this report wrongly said "Acquitted". The report concerns a civil defamation suit that was withdrawn, not a criminal acquittal. The label has been removed.
Transparency
- Most stories are summaries of reports from Ghanaian publishers and official bodies, written with AI assistance and automatic checks. Each one names and links its source. How we use AI.
- Labels such as “Charged” or “Convicted” come from the source report. When one is wrong, we fix it and log it above.
- “Verified by 2 sources” (or more) appears only when at least two separate outlets or official bodies reported the story.
- Off-topic items that slip through are unpublished, not deleted, and the change is recorded in our internal audit log.
