Even if they thought he was an armed robber, since he wasn’t caught in the act, to what extent did they go to interrogate him? Rather, they ignored all his explanations and hacked him to death like a wild animal which strayed to human habitation. I am a Nigerian, but I am so bitter about this wicked act that I expect quick action on this to serve as deterrent to not only Ghanaians but citizens of other countries. Prolonging this clear case in court will only encourage lawless people. And as many people as laid their hands on this guy must be made to face similar fate. People should know that when a man agrees to serve in the armed forces, he does not merely do so for just his own well-being, he signs to put his life on the line, if need be, for the country and the citizens, so treating a military man in such way should attract the harshest punishment, saying he was mistaken for an armed robber is no excuse. I even think Ghanaian soldiers are very lenient on this community.
