He knew that those he was recommending to the people were criminals, which was the reason he asked for forgiveness before he endorsed them. Sarkodie is part of this group of members ordering the arrest of pregnant women and children, everyone who was only asking for clean water. pic.twitter.com/SyBsHwmksw
