He must be punished for the crime though, but 30 years is too much as compared to others. The judge must be fair.

30 years for mobile phone while Woyomi, Muntaka, Mr and Mrs Rawlings, Oko Vanderpuje, Baba jamal, Hassan Ayariga, Bagbin, Asiedu Nketia, Karl Wilson, Segbefia, Afari Djan, Atuguba,Bety Mould Iddrisu, Anita de Soouso, and several other NDC looters either walk free or are promoted. Is this the better Ghana these criminals promised us? For how long should Ghanaians continue to tolerate injustice, tribalism, descrimination, envy and hatred? Are we now so foolish to accept this nonsense forever?

The accused admitted commiting the crime what else do you want,once you plead guilty its in the hands of the Judge either to give you the maximum of fair depends on gravity of the offence violence,Precious lives could have been lost in the commission of the crime.He will be ready to retire by the time he comes out.Never commit a violent crime if you want any leniency.The guy could have maintain his silence and its a dead case.

There's no law or human right in Africa. How can a sitting judge sentenced a theft/robbery to 30yrs. Where is the rehabilitation/corrections in this sentence? crime must be punish fairly so where do these judges get their motivation from. The poor would always come and serve the so called rich in society because they make virtually impossible for anyone to cross that line. God have mercy on the poor soul.

Is the judge a Nigerian? When Fulanis and other nationals residing in Ghana commit crimes they get lenient sentences. But when a native commit the same crime they receive stiff sentences. Why hate your own kinsmen. 30 years is too much. How many Nigerian judges have jailed a Nigerian for even killing a Ghanaian in Nigerian let alone robbing a Ghanaian. Chinese have been killing Ghanaians in their own land which Ghanaian judge have been bold enough to even pass a sentence.

Ghana's Chief Justice must as matter of urgency organize training program for Ghanaian judges to correct many errors they are committing on daily basis unchecked. Nobody is holding brief for criminals but the undertaking of justice delivery must be polished, it must be professional. It becomes a wrong of its own if a criminal is not appropriately punished. A justice professional observing from afar is taking aback when such injustices are carried out by so called Justices and magistrates of the courts. They lack completely the professional touch of what they practice. When would they know that what they do on daily basis is wrong and they must stop. They prisons are even already choked and you are sending people there for a long jail terms on daily basis. They deserve punishment as law requires but even five years is enough to correct a criminal of that kind. These judges must know this if they are truly justice professionals. This is utterly unprofessional and is wrong.

Is this an expensive joke?. May be its 3 months not 30 years to steal a phone whilst some manslaughter convictions in Ghana receive a
1 year jail.
A drug baron from Ghana was jailed for 10 years in the civilized America.

Are these Judges really literate?
It sounds as if anyone just opens their mouth without first thinking of what is coming out.
Very appalling, shameful, and disgraceful, these illiterates in robes

Robbery is destroying a lot of homes in Ghana. Don't wait till your family is hit before you see the seriousness of the crime. He did it at knife point and who knows how far this guy was willing to go if the girls had resisted. Or is it because they're not Ghanaians. I hope you all realize that when you pick up a weapon to rob people, it's no longer a simple robbery. A crime is a crime period!

Was the knife found? If you know how Ghana police can sometimes concoct lies to get someone imprisoned, you will be shocked. At least in such a case, the guy should have been given a public defendant.

Ghana will never grow until the real criminals in high positions, stealing millions of Cedis/Dollars are arrested and punished. The 30 years for cell-phone robbery is too much and needs to be reduced to about 4 years. If the “Government” is not depriving the Police from doing their jobs, then they should be looking at the criminals in political positions & high offices, these’re the real robbers!

Somebody manages to buy a phone and you pull a knife on her to collect the phone. Why should a person die because a mobile phone? The robber should have been jailed for 100 years.

What kind of judges do we have in Ghana, 30 years for robbery after the thief has admitted guilt. Waste of our tax payer's money. This is harsh. I know this thief has no family and was never provided with legal aid.

PEOPLE ARE USING PEN TO STEAL, DEFRAUD AND AND SUCH THE VERY MARROW IF THE COUNTRY DRY AND NOT A WHIMPER. EVEN THE FEW GUYS WHO ARE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU, HOW DO YOU TREAT THEM IN YOUR COURTS? YOU SET THEM FREE VIRTUALLY WITH THE DEGREE OF PENALTY U IMPOSE.
THIS IS NOT JUSTICE
