Oh Ghana police insult is a defamation go to court. Why arrest them, are we now in Nebuchadnezzar regime? God save us
THE PRESIDENT IS BEING INSULTED EVERY DAY LIKE ALL OTHER PRESIDENTS IN GHANA BEFORE HIM. IF THEY WERE ARRESTING GHANAIANS OR PEOPLE INSULTING THE PRESIDENT I DON'T THINK THE GULF OF GUINEA (OCEAN)CAN CONTAIN SUCH PEOPLE NOT TO TALK OF OUR CHOKED PRISONS. COMPLETE ABUSE OF POWER. THE POLICE MUST AND I REPEAT, MUST SET THESE GUYS FREE. THIS USE*LESS CHIEFTAINCY THINK THAT IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH MODERNITY IS STILL BEING GIVEN MUCH ATTENTION IN GHANA. I WISH DR. KWAME NKRUMAH WAS STILL ALIVE AND RULING AND THIS USE*LESS LOCAL CULTURAL PRACTICE WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN AWAY LONGTIME. CHIEFTAINCY IS A BANE TO OUR DEVELOPMENT.
