The mob pulled knives, sticks and clubs attempting to lynch the suspect but the timely intervention of a standby riot control Police team stationed at Akropong Palace and subsequent support from reinforcement team already dispatched to the street helped to rescue the suspect and his friends who took refuge at the Palace until Police escort took them out of the palace to the Police station.
YOU THIEFMAN ARE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE DESTROYING THE NAME OF GHANA AROUND THE WORLD. NOW YOU CAN GO TO THE GRAVE AND CONTINUE YOUR PICK POCKETING!!!!!
Has he been arrested. If not, what is the police doing?
Would a Ghanaian be free to walk around in Germany after this act?
Asamoaadu am so surprised at you, is self defense so you mean he should be robbed just for the suspect to go free, infact you are not fair to the german
Evil people who go about robing people at gunpoint or pickpocketing shall not live half their days. They should work with their hands to get their daily bread. They will cut their lives short if they continue with this accursed lifestyle.
But the question is why should these wicked people carry this wickedness on unsuspecting and defenceless foreigners? Do they know that it is foreigners who promote the tourism sector of a nation?
