This pigs. when we go to their country they treat us like animals, and when we stay in our own country too they come here and still molest us with the support of the people we pay tax to employ them to protect us. what kind of a country is this? any crazy foreigner can just enter and misbehave then go Scot free. it high time Ghanaian speak and get justice. why? are we still in slavery? the instant justice should be channeled towards foreigners like this not our own people.
POOR GIRLS MAY YOU GET JUSTICE INSHA ALLAH IF IT WHERE TO BE IN LEBANON HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SENTENCED TO DEATH.
What at all do these Lebanese and their cohorts take us for? When we visit your country you subject us to all manner of inhumane treatment. In our own country too, you molest us! It is high time we took their actions seriously and made they know that enough is enough! What kind of people are these? If they cannot respect us and our laws here, they must go back to their country, period! And to the Police, they shouldn't try to do any shady things and go by their procedure to get the culprit well processed and prosecuted in court.
Ghana police dont do your "things" oooo...jesus is watching,act on this and redeem your image.
