You can die there, it is your problem, are you different from those arrested in custody.. you should have think about what you were planing at. Too know
ACP Agordzo did nothing wrong. We have to stop the hypocrisy and double standards in Ghana. Let us not reduce ourselves to how Nigeria has become in the comity of nations. ACP Agordzo is a disciplined police officer that Ghana needs. Our moral fiber is nowadays reduced to connections, which is wrong!. Serious professionals are being maligned. No coup d'tat is possible in Ghana. Stop cooking stories. Local gun and matchets cannot be used for any successful coup d'tat. Focus on governance that benefits the masses like the free SHS, & fix the economy. Release this innocent police officer!.
EVERYTHING ABOUT AGORDZO APPEARS INCORRECT. HE APPEARS TO BE UNSTABLE WHO CANNOT THINK RIGHT BUT TALK AND TALK. HE IS AN EMPTY BARREL AND CHARLATAN. IN SPITE OF ALL HIS NOISEEEE HE GAVE HIMSELF UP IN A WHATSAPP. HE IS NOT SMART. HE ONLY JUMPS AT ANY INSTANCE TO MAKE NOISEEE. SUCH PEOPLE CANNOT THING RIGHT. THEIR JUDGMENT ARE WRONG AND INSINCERE, TYPICAL DNA OF COUP MAKERS. LIKE JJ, HE HAS EVERY CHARACTERISTIC TO DECEIVE LIGHT THINKING PEOPLE WHO ONLY REGRET AFTER BEING F00000LED. LOOK AT WHAT HE IS. SO SKINNY LIKE WHEN JJ FIRST APPEAR IN THE SCENE. LOOK AT JJ NOW FATTY LIKE ...... THAT IS WHY NDC DISREGARDS HIM. SUCH PEOPLE STAND FOR THEIR PERSONAL INTERESTS AND NOT THAT OF ANYBODY. I AM HAPPY HE IS NOW INTERDICTED. HE HAS DISAPPOINTED AND DISGRACED HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE MUST STAR APOLOGISING TO THEM. HIS HUNGER STRIKE IS ONLY A COVER UP FOR THE SHAME HE HAS BROUGHT TO HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY. HE IS A DISGRACE ALSO TO GHANA POLICE FORCE. HE MUST START SHOWING REMORSE FOR HIS UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOUR AND APOLOGIZE TO THE POLICE AND THE NATION. PEOPLE ARE NOT WHAT THEY THINK OR SAY ABOUT THEMSELVES BUT WHAT GOD SEES IN THEM. AND GOD CANNOT BE DECEIVED, HENCE HIS DISGRACE.
it is his choice; let him go on with that, but let the trial also continue. it is just an arm-twisting tactic
Ghana is fed up with Akufo Addo's 419 misrule. No tolerance, no freedom of expression, as opposing radio stations are closed down. A cunning dictator in democratic uniform. Fix our bad roads, infrastructure and restore our cultural unity in Ghana. Create jobs for us as we are hungry!. This policeman is very credible and professional. The policeman is disciplined. Stop gagging him. Stop abusing your executive powers!. God will protect this police officer. Enough with your misgovernance!
The Police Officer should no better. Every profession has got its code of conduct or ethical conduct. How can you be discussing such issues on WhatsApp and going ahead to donate money to the group for their actions. Police Officer, you goof big time.
The most stupiiid and foolishhh president in Ghana is Akufo Addo. He looks like a monkey. Is not this Monkey fault. Is central Region. There will be Arab Spring in Ghana 2020. Monkey Akufo Addo should come and arrest me. Foolishhh president. All die be die -***barred word***-------------.
The guy looks like is from Namibia or Botswana, do you remember the main character in the movie: The Gods Must be crazy... he looks like them, investigate him very well plus his nationality..
Do we have wise men in this Country?. Our chiefs, pastors etc in the country?. Remember that should something bad happen in Ghana they would suffer more casualties because they are public figures and well known. Pls our elders should Intervene for the destruction is becoming too much.
You are just stupiiiiiiiiiiiiiid to say the least to label members of NDC as evil.
