Some Ghanaian soldiers are very abusive, they must stop the do before complain act.

Lanslord Asumakah replied:

Soldiers have abused people in this country and everybody thinks its normal, a group of children under 18 were beaten in Sunyani by soldiers and some are now disabled, the case is with human rights, Joynews is following up, a boy in the Northern Region called combia was brutally beaten that his manhood can not function again, the case is with human rights, years down the line those soldiers are still working and walking free

Are soldiers for war to protect a nation from invasion or are they trained to bully citizens. Because in Africa that is what it is. In the face of war they will betray the country

In the post sighted by YEN.com.gh on a Facebook page called Trotro Diaries, Dave shared that he joined a commercial vehicle (trotro) and quickly noticed that the face of the vehicle conductor (trotro mate) was familiar.

He would soon realize it was his old classmate. Leaning forward to pay for his fare, the mate who had also identified him asked him not to bother.

Mastering courage, Dave asked his former mate how he ended up being a 'trotro' mate. According to the friend, he lost both parents after Junior High school, and that was when everything went wrong.
