Some Ghanaians have also called on the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, GFA and the Ghana Prisons Service to pardon him as he special talent that could help the country.
They add that the prisoner who has served six year of his nine-year sentence has shown enough remorse to merit a pardon.
Bring him to us...we'd love to give him a chance.
