    Security agents are showing off like 5 year old clowns with AK47s and bullet proof vests to conduct surveillence on an unarmed civilian who has gone to church with his family. Africa has a long way to go.

    Keeping surveillance must be convert operation with plain cloth operatives not a show of AK47 and military gear to scare innocent civilians around.

    if this is true then the BNI's name should be changed to Vigilante. That sort of behaviour isn't necessary. Mr Mensah has reported himself and is cooperating. even if the BNI (now acting like vigilante) want to trail him this ...
