    It is only in Ghana that the police ride in the alleged criminal's car.

    Unfortunately the rubbish you just wrote will not cure the crime perpetrated by the driver and his accomplice. This is children talk.

    In any case the government said they didn't complete all the SHS'S. If you have not heard it I am telling you now. Not all of them are complete.

    Police should learn, just take his number and allow him to go and declare the car wanted, that was the wise thing to do, this goes to all police officers who stand in the middle of the road and stopping vehicles, it's a bad p ...

    I don't know if there are no laws in Ghana. Such a criminal would be sent in and out of court and at the end of it all, he would be set free. Let the law deal with him immediately and put in behind bars for life. These are fi ...

    It's a sad incident,! But my take on this is that the ramble style the police men and women do arrest in this country should be changed.Even their own security is very porous and must therefore learn from this sad incident.

  • kojo 7 years ago

    It makes me sad to hear and see how our journalists, politicians, graduates, students etc. etc; I will say many Ghanaians who speak on public platforms or write in the media are losing grip of the English language. An exampl ...

    The police seem to do that because they can't rely on DVLA with the particulars they take to get the drivers they are looking for. They even take licences of drivers and misplace them causing the drivers to go up and down the ...

    The manner in which the police officer died should be a teachable lesson to all police officers in the country. The IGP should issue a directive to all his officers asking them to cease and desist from the practice of riding ...

    Most Policemen in Ghana are illiterates, money grabbing and unprofessional. Left to me, the whole police service should be scrapped. The most hopeless and corrupt institution in Ghana. Shameful to die this way.
