    What is his name and position? Poor reportage.

  • Ozymandias 4 months ago

    The officer has no name? He looks like a kobolor to me from his photo. How did he get into the police service in the first place?

    Ghanaweb, who at all is your editor? The mistakes are one too many... The basic principle of Journalism --- the "WHO" of the story is totally missing?

    Arrest Afenyo Markin as well because he was seen assaulting a uniformed police officer. Stop these eye service and double standards. Leave the police man alone.

    Just look at his face and nobody would tell you that he is an ewe man. Wicked and jealousy written all over his face. No matter how ewes are recruited in lucrative positions in Ghana, they will still linger in abject poverty ...

  • Gonja Mafia John Mahama 4 months ago

    So John Mahama, who is stealing for you? An Ibrahim?
    A mahama can own and opereate a mine in Ghana but an Antwi cannot do same? Are frontline posts - juicy posts - reserved for northerners and voltarians alone?

    Banahene, the bush journalist, deserves more than a slap. This is how you tie the hands of the police to enforce law and order against dangerous and provocative criminals. What did you do when Afenyo Markins slapped a policem ...
