    Thanks, Opeimoa, for a fitting response. Why a supposed human being with some grey matter in his head would think that armed robbery is a minor offense defies all logic.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 9 years ago

    Armed robbery is no minor crime though the sentence is too much, taking into consideration his age. 20 years would have been good because he will come back looking like 90 years.

    This could only happen in Kumasi. You did not need to read the story to know it happened in Kumasi - the crime epicentre of Africa.

    You're right but that appears to be the only way elements in society would be discouraged from perpetrating such aggressive robberies. They are not robbing because they are hungry but to maintain their hightime girlfriends.

  • Opeimoa 9 years ago

    If you're failing to understand, then I pray that you fall a victim of such robberies one of these days.
