The frail man’s only offence was to seek a wave or perhaps a closer view of President Akufo Addo.<br /> <br /> The President’s car moved on to more shouts of accolades from the crowd on the scene as the abused old man was left out of the rest of the video chronicle of events.<br /> <br /> This will not be the first scenario of a commoner who tried to catch a closer glimpse of a powerful leader in any country.<br /> <br /> However, this will surely go down in history as one of the worst civilian treatment of a commoner who was pushed away in the clear view of the president to pave way for his car.<br /> <br /> <br />
