Many people leave their homelands because of injustices and take their lives without a death sentence by the law court. Can one list the number of people killed through stray bullets? It is far better to fly to an unknown destination than to be killed. Can one mention the number of people killed for rituals in Ghana?
If a person dies as a result of a legal act of war or if another person dies as a result of the use of force to the extent that is reasonably justified in the specific circumstances, then that person will not be considered to have violated the clause.
No one may be purposefully taken from his life unless it is necessary to carry out a court’s punishment for a crime for which the person has been found guilty under Ghanaian law.
Ghana must enact laws prohibiting the use of guns by law enforcement to defend property or prevent unarmed criminal suspects from fleeing. It is only permissible to use weapons in situations when there is an immediate risk of death, serious harm, or a significant and close threat to life.
Finally, a person found to murdered someone in cold blood should not be life imprisonment but should face the death penalty.
