This is a criminal who deserves the noose, or a lengthy allowed custodial sentence allowed under our laws.The sentence handed out deserves public scorn and outrage.This man unleashed the most complete insecurity and fear on people who most likely would not recover from their experiences.

How can you jail this fox for 8yrs and rather jail a certain cassava thief (to quench hunger)to 10yrs imprisonment? What kind of system do we have in Ghana?

A serial kidnapper gets 8 years for having kidnapped 3 children on separate occasions. However, a poor villager goes to steal cassava from his neighbor's farm and gets a 10 year sentence. There is something terribly wrong with the Ghanaian justice system, especially the sentencing part.

6 months for stealing kenkey. By the time you leave jail haven gone in which no criminal record, you would have graduated into a fully fledged armed robber. I say he deserves the death penalty to deter others

Dear readers, the sentence is not only 8years but 24 years,what I understood means he will serve 8years for each of child,well that is still not enough,because anything could happen to these children,who even can tell whether a parent had died because of this.50 years could be enough.

You did not think as well b4 commenting if 8 years are to be served concurrently for the 3 charges, the result is 8 years. So what ever technicality you want to apply we are saying that it is not just right for a kidnapper like this person to spend only 8 years behind bars for the kidnapping of 3 children period.

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.

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

HOW CAN A SERIAL KIDNAPPER BE JAILED FOR EIGHT YEARS AND A CASSAVA THIEF GO TO PRISON FOR TEN YEARS.
I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH GHANA.

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.

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.
