    Jerry, you are just as sick as the judge.
    His sentence is running "concurrently" meaning, he will serve the highest in the three sentences, which is Eight years.
    If he is to serve "consecutively", then it will be 24 years.

  • JB Osei-Brown 10 years ago

    That damn word means "occuring at the same time duration" so that the kidnapper will serve ONLY 8 years not 24 years.

  • RAYMOND NASH, LONDON 10 years ago

    HOW CAN A SERIAL KIDNAPPER BE JAILED FOR EIGHT YEARS AND A CASSAVA THIEF GO TO PRISON FOR TEN YEARS.

    Why is there no picture of the convict? So next time (when he is released) the whole of Ghana and the world will know who he is and to be aware/beware.

    A Pastor spend the night in his mistress home and overslept till the morning.As he was afraid of his wife,he called from a pay phone outside the street screaming"Darling i have been kidnapped,please do not pay the ransom"

  • STEVE 10 years ago

    The jail term is not only 8 years, but rather sums up to a total of 24 years. The court sentenced him to 8 years on each of the charges, and that sums up to 24 years. Open up your brains.

  • JB Osei-Brown 10 years ago

    Whereas you opened your brain, you failed to open your eyes to observe that there was an adverb called "concurrently" appended to "serve".
