Saddest thing I’ve seen this year. At least one passenger could’ve volunteered to pay the 2ghc to end this and that mate and the driver could’ve done better. Why will you guys drag this to the extent of losing someone’s life. Ghana de3 Ei

@adwoa_dela replied:

And the mate and his driver will also pay the price of not been tolerant. So sad for both of them. They’ve all lost their lives. One to the grave and the other to prison.

Blaming government for his death is like blaming Kalyjay for ignoring the plight of a follower in his dm that caused the loss of life. The government does not influence the hike of fuel prices globally.
