Ghana is for all.the reporter must clarify.if they were many fine,but if they were five they have broken no law and must be freed
Maybe I don't see what you see, because I don't see the charade you are talking about, if the report says he was arrested with five members why do you conclude they were the only people there? unless you were part of the congregation.
Why do you want to humiliate pastors,they were 5 the president says 25 so which law did he break. Shame on the police. read the law and interpret it well. if he was having church u can arrest why this charade
