Shame
Why do you refer to stealing as free cloth?
LET THE POLICE RAID THAT VILLAGE AND ROUND UP EVERYBODY WITHIN. ALL THE ITEMS CAN BE RETRIEVED.
THEY SHOULD FIRST PICK THAT BRAINLESS OLD WOMAN WHO WAS INTERVIEWED.
I am glad to read that people condemn this stealing. Ghanaians are in deep danger of losing our humanity. Stealing from accident vehicles is immoral and ungodly. Arrest the thieves.
This same thing happened at Sokpui, a town just where you cross the volta bridge to sogakope when a truck was involved in an accident. The young men in the area secured the truck and nobody in the area went near the acciden ...

So it's a village of thieves.
Why won't you be in perpetual poverty if you lack empathy at this dangerous level....?????
I have a question. If this was money in the care of our politicians to keep for us, how many of us wouldn't suspect that the same politicians won't steal it? They don't wait for accidents in order to steal. They have easy acc ...

NO HONEST PEOPLE IN GHANA. DO THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS STALING. ARE THEY CHRISTIANS
Given the chance everybody will steal just like all our govt agencies.
This will not happen in the Volta Region. Shame on you
Because it didn't occur there. If it had happened there one could see the same thing. Just be nice.
It already did and we all saw the outcome. I'm have it's happened twice. No one looted anything.
Tribal bigot.
We're talking about cloth here, and not cats and incest.
Idiot and descendents of thieves. Two occasions it happened in Volta and not a single item was looted. Which tribe commit incest more than Akans? People who show with even their mothers in law
Because of social media we are forced to read inane comments like .yours daily, you this stupif NPP troll and incorrigible tribal bigot!
But he is right , cargoes tricks have had accidents in the Volta Region and nobody took anything , so he is right .
This is very bad and unfortunate.
This is stealing. Scattered items at accident scene are not free gift. They are for somebody. The police should arrest all those captured in the video and prosecute them.
This is very shameful to my Fanti people. Ekumfi de ...

All of this people are criminals and must be prosecuted shame unto us. Next time they will create this kind of accident so they can steal. Shame Shame and shamefully
This is the difference between volta region and akan regions.
My Ewe folks are totally different from akan criminal
Oh what a Christian country called Ghana it's a shame
Stupid people, catching in for booty over somebody's disaster and yet when disaster strikes them, they start crying everywhere asking for help.
Karma will go after all such individuals.
One thing I have observed in life is this fact: even if you bless evil- minded people your good acts or blessings will slide off them, like water off a duck. Those villagers will continue to live in filth and squalor. They ar ...

The people of SOKPOE near Sogakope exhibited a Godly example on similar accident where they had the whole world to loot, but never did. Why others?
I witnessed the Sokpoe incident, and we drove by it. I was so impressed with their exemplary act that, our conversation in the car lasted for over one hour from there.
God richly bless you oooh.... people of Sokpui. You ma ...

This is very bad.
Shame on the people who went there to steal.
What is the word for "thieves" in the local language there? The village should be renamed. Alternatively a billboard should be put up before approaches of the village warning travellers of the terrible reputation of the villa ...

This is stealing. Thieves!!!Why are Ghanaians soo bad?
Were we born with wicked genes?
These things happen in Europe and the States too.
Human nature is drawn to freebies.
I have seen videos of looters raiding shops that were devasted by storms or looting goods and even cash from overturned vehicles or derailed goods trains. However the main difference here is that in most such instances police ...

This is Africa way and is very bad of us
This is disgusting and shameful. The police should quickly raid those two towns and retrieve those stolen clothes
This is unacceptable volterians are kind because they never do this
Let’s all listen to what the lady said in the interview. There was an accident and it seems after recovery of most of the items, the people carrying the cargo decided not to retrieve the remaining items. According to the la ...

Have you ever heard a thief admitting that he's a thief, when caught red handed
Incredible country!! where is our moral as a nation? Where are we heading with such a mentality?
Shameful is an understatement, poverty or not.
Collateral b me damage. Insurance should bear the loss.
National Security and the CID must encircle the two communities and arrest every person involved in the stealing spree. Don’t those idiots understand that the owner/s have lost their livelihoods?

Aah some Ghanaians can be heartless, which part of the clothes they were stealing got burnt ?
They all need to be arrested.

The police have a LEGAL and MORAL duty to pursue and arrest those ANIMALS.
This NEW BEHAVIOR emanates from ONE SOURCE!
The CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
