    What is wrong with these people and lawlessness? They seem to be different than everybody. Why haven't islam been able to have a positive influence on the lives of those who practice it? Shame on you dagombas.

    I am disappointed and find it bizarre that some people think what happened is acceptable. With this sort of attitude,the Ghana Police Force might as well be disbanded
