I dont know what you want the prosecution to believe!! In any case let them prove their innocence in court to gain their freedom. Let our institutions work, that is how to build a state.
Yes, of course why not ? You are wicked people on earth and everyone take your callous and cruel minds seriously why didnt they attempt that coup during the time of john Air bus, Ford expedition and Nkomfem fly away to Burkkna mahama ! Do they think they have the key to Ghana so have the right to choose a president and government for Ghana and look at their primitive and us*eless faces ! Ghana is for Ghanaians not a group of people who hate some tribes and think they have to dominate them. We will never give our country to the ndc, john mahama and his ndc are joking !You can relocate who cares? and they are cowards too always pleading to be bailed ! A courageous man accept his whatever when he fails but dont beg for lenience and hide to act cowardly that is not strength or bravery but coward .
