Anytime I see my fellow Ghanaians talking childisgly and hypocritically, as if there's no crime that Nigerians will commit that they cannot do, it annoys me so much. Look at what even a whole Pastor and an Ex-serviceman were able to do. So imagine what our street vandals would also be able to do when a similar situation occurs elsewhere.

ridiculous judgement. the accused persons bring a pastor ( hope he preaches forgiveness or one of the fake abd crooks around) and an ex military man ought to be disciplined enough. A slap on the wrist

That thinking is what is wrong with Ghana. If you steal anything, you are a thief and deserve to be beaten like a thief. Your thinking is why Big Men steal. When you are handling billions of cedi, a million cedi is nothing. It is the same scale as stealing G60 from this guy since they gave him legal tender as change. Clearly the people involved in this case suck at math.

The fact of the case was, when they crossed the car and raised alarm, it was the area people who beat the taxi driver, while the military guy and the pastor rather helped the driver to the police station and hospital. During CID investigation, all the area people did not want any police matters, so they all denied. The pastor and soldier could not also identify anyone to give witness accounts in their favour for fear of being added to the arrested. The real case is on grounds which you can find out.

The 6 months sentence was too lenient. They beat the guy to death. Did they not know that they were beating the guy to death? Is beating a person to death the right punishment for using a fake currency? Using the 73 years age of the mothet as a mitigating factor is unacceptable. Did the accused not take that into consideration when he was beating the guy to death? A pastor beating a person to death when God says 'THOU SHALL NOT KILL'.God's punishment awaits him.
