Lydia Forson and fans Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson says she suspects the person who hacked and took over her twitter account is someone close to her. “I realized the person had been reading my emails too, so they changed my email for twitter and my password. I’m afraid and won’t be if certain personal information of mine may come out soon,” she added in a short conversation yesterday. The actress is suspecting people around her but she is yet to drop names. The unknown hacker has used the pictures and name of American singer Nicki Minaj to hijack Forson’s twitter account of 17619 followers last Saturday. Currently, all efforts to retrieve it have proven futile and she has got a new twitter account @lydia_forson for her fans to follow her. Lydia Forson, before the hacking incident, was one of Ghana’s celebrities with a large following on twitter.  Credit: NEWS-ONE

The concept of the video starts with all three members of Rana descending from the skies onto a desert and entering a village where they picked their costumes from a drying-line. ...
