In the video a man is heard commending the Supreme Court justices for jailing the panellist while another woman is also heard telling the man the fate of the Montie three could happen to anybody

In what can be described as a heated argument, two hawkers on the street of East Legon in Accra argued over the 4 - month sentencing into prison of the three workers of Montie Fm.

The Supreme Courtdelivered a ruling today July 27, 2016 on the issues which has made headline for some weeks now. Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn were before the court for threatening the lives of the Justices. Salifu Maase aka ‘Mugabe’ the host of a political programme where the two made the threats was also accused of allowing the two to go ahead with their threats.

The man in the video is heard commending the Justices for jailing the trio.

" It is good they have been jailed they should have been jailed for a year," he said, "whether you are NPP, NDC CPP member if you say anything bad you should be jailed."

The woman on the other hand seemed to be sympathizing with the new prisoners.

Per the court's ruling the owners of the radio station are to pay GHC 60,000. The amount is expected to be paid to the court by close of Thursday, 28th July 2016.
