    Ghanaweb, do you not know the difference between the word "arrest" and kidnap? Pretending to be ignorant will not save you from the suspicion that you are covering up the dastardly acts of state terrorism.

    Ghanaweb is only doing its job as part of the neocolonial media. News about neighboring Togo or Côte d’Ivoire all come from London or Paris. There was even a time when a Fire outbreak in Kumasi was reported via the BBC!
