    Please do not take matters into your own hands , be civilized call the police or send them to the chief.

  • Mark Wayongo 8 years ago

    Call who? The police are themselves corrupt and thieves, not to mention the Judges, thanks to Anas.

  • PRINCE KWASI ADADE (OFIE P33) 8 years ago

    LOOK AT THE WAY NDC POLICE TREATED THE LMVC PROTESTERS, ONE EVEN HAS LOST AN EYE. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN IN MODERN DAY GHANA?? I WANT NDC POLICE TO ARREST THOSE WHO LYNCHED THESE SUSPECTED THIEVES.

  • The beauty of ignorance 8 years ago

    The Police should arrest all the people shown in the photo and charge them with murder. If the politicians, the police and the judges are all corrupt, it does not mean that there should be a total breakdown of law and order.

  • Prince Charles 8 years ago

    Don't you hear lawyers and judges collecting bribes and setting murderers, rapists and thieves free in Ghana. There is no justice in the law courts and this is what you get when citizens lose confidence in the judiciary.

    People who advocates for mob instant justice have to remember that, they themselves could fall for a hoax alarm from a jealous rival. Allow police to do their job. No one should ever take another persons life. Period.
