    It is said that Muslims are minority in Ghana but when you go to prisons across Ghana they are in the majority. If we allow Muslims to have their way they will turn this peaceful nation of ours into an open prison.

    Supreme Court should also decide if it is lawful for government's money to be used for buying rice, milk, sugar and building hajj village for Muslims. Christians should also seek interpretation.
