Man Charged Penalty Of GH₵20 For Not Wearing Nose Mask At A Shop

The struggle to get people to adhere to precautionary measures regarding the current pandemic, has proven to be quite a task.

There’s been several situations where some people have been arrested, and some even flogged in public, just because they refused to protect themselves and others from contracting the fast spreading virus.

A Twitter User with the handle “Xista Araba”, shared a story on how a man was charged a penalty of 20 Ghana Cedis, because he walked into a shop without a nose mask. He tweeted;

“The matter chop hot???? ni**a just paid 20cedis for not wearing nose mask ?????”

Funny enough, a box of nose mask costs Ghc 27 so in this case , the man was better off owning a box of masks, than paying Ghc 20 for not wearing one.
