Majority of the names are of Northern or Muslim extraction. This is not only worrying but a disgrace. Why the Chief Imam and other influential muslims are quiet on majority acts of lawlessness perpetrated by muslims is equally worrying. Dr Shari butu please in the name if Allah, speak, admonish and condemn. The Muslim youth in Ghana revere and respect you the Chief Imam, statement will not only help but will encourage others to give up these criminals who are hell bent on tarnishing the image of Ghana and Islam.
Police and President Nana Addo , robbers have taking over Adanta Housing Down and it environs. They are robbing people left and right.

Firing squad must be re-introduced in Gh. You take someone's life, your is taken...God have mercy on all of us. Simple
This guy must be hanged if found guilty....
Good job! Just make sure he is kept under guard by credible personnel not like the case where an inspector's son who was held for armed robbery bribed the guard with ghc10,000 and escaped. There are a lot of bad nuts in the service!
