    how can the police seize their computers?

  • KWABENA OHEMENG,LONDON 10 years ago

    The police have the right to seize their computers for investigation.The press is not above the law especially if it is being irresponsible.

  • KWAHUHENE BOAT,NEW YORK 10 years ago

    Ohemeng,I think the police have no right to seieze the computers.Asantehene can sue them but cant use police to fight his case.

  • Tommy, MD, USA. 10 years ago

    I personally believe the said story abt the Asantehene, he has brought a very BIG disgrace to the Kingdom, Shame!

  • obibini 10 years ago

    What evidence do you have to let you believe that Asantehene gave bribes to the judges? I challenge you to produce the evidence.Produce the evidence now.

  • Mahmoud 10 years ago

    There is no smoke without fire and Asantehene is a human being, and as corrupt as any other chief in Ghana or more. We should cool down our heads and investigate the matter thoroughly without beating war drums.

    We must pray back Yaw Boateng Gyan's Secret Tape and Know What the NDC child-Soldiers are capable doing. The Ashanti Project is Still on to Create Confusion in that Great Kingdom, that hold Ghana as Nation.

  • Jack hammer 10 years ago

    You will be a fool to ask for evidence that this asantehene is fucking corrupt as hell. You guys forgot about his drug deals in 2006

  • KWABENA OHEMENG,LONDON 10 years ago

    Boat,over here in the UK the police have got the powers to seize all documents and computers to help with an on-going investigation and I am sure the same applies in America.I fully support such seizures if it is done within ...

    It is silly on the part of the police to chase Free Press and seize their computers. You are citing UK and America but don't tell the people the reason why they went there to seize their document.

    In the UK or USA, when BB ...

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    This man should be left alone. Bribery scandal or no bribery scandal.

    If the Asantehene is often seen as being sympathetic to the NPP cause and a recipient of NPP largess, common sense dictates that he would be the last pe ...

  • Osei 10 years ago

    This is clearly the work of NDC mafia. The aim is to associate the work to NPP and does bring a rift between them and Ashanteman. This is politics and must be understood as such. NDC can go to any diabolical length.
