    The rider and the deceased are equally guilty. The student should have asked the rider to stop and he might be alive today

    Exactly! They should have stopped when the officer ordered them to.

  • Frank Agyena -Karikari. 1 week ago

    Yes, but the Officer should not have pursued and possibly hit the Motor Rider's vehicle. There are other ways he could have called for other units to effect the arrest of the rider. It will be difficult to convict the Police ...

    These police officers think they're above the law when they're in their dirty uniforms and can do whatever they want without any accountability because of greed and corruption. He needs to be executed to deter other officers ...

    Why involve yourself in the death of a young man...a traffic offense does not mean the police should chase an offender...just pick the details of the vehicle and the time..leave him to go...the police will surely get hold of ...

    The cop was wrong to chase the rider, nonetheless Mr. Arthur should have obeyed the orders of a law enforcement officer. After all the cop was not going to shoot him. Please, drop the charges against the cop now, and conseque ...

    you are very S T U P I D. that's all i can say to you. he wasn't going to shoot him, but it was okay to kick the bike? all because of Ghc20 or Ghc50 he would have gotten from the rider

  • Sam, Worcester-MA 1 week ago

    I agree with you; you made a good point. At the moment, both families will go through hell; the young man's life is wasted, and the Police Officer does not know his fate. "Common Sense is not Common"

    He was following them to extort money from them. Nyame na atua ne ka. His cup is full. I bet he’s been doing that for ages

    Yes very much so!!
    Just take his number and the law will deal with him but he rather want to take bribe from him
    That spot at UPSA is a hot spot for police for police to make money

    The police officer killed a law student with huge prospects because of Ghc100. He has to face the full rigor of the law.

    A human being is a human being, whether they be a law student with great prospect or a future 'nobody'. Loss of every human life is unfortunate.

    Majority of Ghana police officers are very stupid and do things only because of their stomach ,it serves him right

    Murder charges won't stick if he gets a good lawyer. Should have been manslaughter instead and causing harm

  • Blue Pen 1 week ago

    I suspect they deliberately changed him with murder (wrong charge) to let him off the hook. It appears reckless manslaughter (if there is anything like that) will be appropriate.

    Jail that useless criminal officer at least 50 years imprisonment with hard work. He was chased the motorbike just to correct 5 cedis bribe for alcohol.

    I regret the loss of a life. But why should the motor rider not charged? First of all, you " jump" traffic. Secondly, you disobey a law enforcement officer who signalled you to stop. These two offences could have caused more ...

    All because of votes that a particular political party will get we don't tell the truth in black Africa. A law student should know better to advice the rider to stop so that he convinced the police to cool down matters. If t ...
