It’s a shame in this day and age when Ghana seems to thinks its a bench mark for the world or at least the developing world we still practise such disgusting acts. I grew up in Ghana seeing this from a very young age, I am now in my fifties and nothing has changed, we are still the backward society I grew up in except we know about Top of the range cars and houses, even that we cant manage properly.
The root of all this, Weak Authorities who are not worthy of the name from govt to the forces. There is a new govt in place and do we think anything will change? It gets frightening by the day. Bloody animals!!!
