They are killing the case bit by bit and are keenly watching.. #JUSTICEFORMAJORMAHAMA#
It's true she caused it all but she cant be charged because as a good citizen she saw a man dressed in civilian dress with a gun so reported it to the assembly man (An Authority) to handle it and interrogate him. But what did the assembly man do?
The snail seller should be the first To be jail is that not false alarm Nkurase sem aakwa Is gun meant for Arm robbers
So is the court telling us that raising false alarm leading to fear, Punic or tragedy is no offence to be prosecuted? Can someone tell me exactly what this discharge of the snail seller mean...pls.
FAIRNESS AND RULE OF LAW IS WHAT GHANAIANS ARE LOOKING FOR AND WE CAN'T NEGOTIATE ON THAT AS FAR AS LATE MAJOR MAHAMA'S FAMILY ARE CONCERNED
