Entertainment analyst criticises DWP

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, an entertainment analyst, Alexander Fiifi Abaka, expressed misgivings about how DWP handled the matter.

"When a crime is committed, you give it to those given the legal authority to handle issues. Taking the law into your own hands is wrong. Doing a video and those other shenanigans also doesn’t create a good image. They could have released a press statement and left it at that, but they handled it wrongly. It’s a wrong image of them. Sadly, out of emotions, they acted wrongly but that’s not an excuse.What is wrong is wrong, people won’t want to associate with law breakers honestly.

Netizens react to Ghanaian lady's video

Netizens who saw the video of the young lady rebutting DWP Academy's claim were confused. Many questioned why she had recorded the footage since her story wasn't adding up.
