Dont also forget some of these guns come as far back as PDC periods. Another thing is that the ministry of interior and the police are all culprits in the game somehow. SAVE GHANA NOW!

Ghana remains the most peaceful nation on the African contenent. Can u compare nigeria, Garbon, Egypt, southafrica, libya, etc to Ghana in terms of peace? I was born and brought up in nigeria, so, i know very well of what, i am talking about. U can never sleep with two eyes closed in Nigeria. And believe me here that, NDC government must go down on time to stop bad foreigners invading Ghana. The Crime much in Ghana are introduced by these strangers who intrude Ghana illigaly most especially, Nigerians. The judiciary, scurities and government are all corrupt today in Ghana by these foreigners. Ghana must wake up to see that, Nigerians are working 24hours to ensure that, Ghana goes down through Mahama who is half Nigerian. God bless Ghana.

Ghanaians are not civilised people, Ken Kuranchie
General News of Tuesday, 16 July 2013
Source: peacefmonline

Chronicling the events that unfolded during his incarceration, Ken Kuranchie has expressed doubt about the civilization of the country. He said: "we have no right to call ourselves civilized people.”. In his view, Ken Kuranchie, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Searchlight, explained his 10-day prison experience after being declared contemptuous of court following a publication in his newspaper, said: "Ghanaians have no right to call themselves “civilized people.”

My comment:
What did you expect from the people with mentalities of:

a: "METIMEHU AND ALL DIE BE DIE?"
b: "SAKAWA AND SIKADURO?"
c: "XENOPHOBIC AND ETHNOCENTRISM?" etc.
d: "BURYING INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS WITH THEIR DEAD CHIEFS" at this day and age.
e: They are BOLD FACE LIARS, HIPOCRATE (with 'holier than thou mentalities, who blame everyone else for their home grown CRIMINALITY). Are Ghanaians saints? Hell NO!
e: "TWO FACE PEOPLE"...(they smile with you, at same time stabbed you at the back, especially if you are a Nigerian). Who need an enemy if you have a "typical Ghanaian" as a friend?
f: They spent most of their LAZY times ONLINE spewing all sort of 'NEGATIVITIES' against Nigerians, (AFTER STEALING THEIR MONEY AND PROPERTIES WITH THEIR "EVIL BUSIA ACO" AND VIOLENTLY DEPORTED THEM BACK TO NIGERIA). What is their PROBLEMS?
g: Only in Banana Republic of Ghana, that you see some 'SENCELESS ARTICES'... Wanlov the Kubolor, parading NUDE all in the name of art. What a shameless moron!

Talking about 'CIVILISATION' Ken Kuranchie, was very right that the word: "GHANAIANS" should NEVER be mentioned at all. Need l say more?

Really! How come you did not turn out to be a criminal, if you are really born and brought up in Nigeria as you wants the world to believe. You Ghanaians are very ungrateful people. After benefiting from Nigeria hospitality, you came online spewing nonsense against the country and the people that gave you life. (How I wish they choke and drown you from birth), so as to save the world of HATEFUL people like you. I rest my case.

How many armed robbers arrested in Kumasi metropolis, were freed by some NDC officials giving stupid excuses that they are house boys or whatever? Mubarak had freed at least three or more armed robbers saying they are his relatives. Think. NDC is fully behind the spate of unrelenting armed robberies going on in the Ashanti region. They have vowed to make the region " a no go area for law abiding citizens" all due to their deep hatred towards Ashantis.

Did you read the Wikileaks reports in which the then president Mills saying that he "feared the Ashanti project and what type of project was he referring to?

I am not an Ashanti but they are more tolerant than most tribes in Ghana. Go to Kumasi and you will find people from all walks of life making a living in that region.

Yet, let's view the general content this story carries. Obviously, such events should be taken as complete failure of our gun use and control system. I believe the security forces must be made to report to an independent monitoring body about the state of affairs of weapon control. Unfortunately, our state security services habour failures because of in-house control and secrecy autonomy they are given.

Its about the guns, not the names or the distance. even if it travels just 10cm, its still and gun and can kill. but we are rather here debating names and distance. typical ghanaman attitude if you ask me.

the last time I checked the manufacturer's (Heckler % Koch) website, the production of this particular weapon ceased in 1997. Its maximum effective range is 500 metres and its cyclic rate is between 500 and 600 rounds per minute. Either the police or the journalists exaggerated concerning the range but it's still worrying that such weapons of destruction are available in the country. However,I don't agree with Mr Aning that they were necessarily imported through the ports. They were most likely to have been smuggled from Ivory Coast, where lots of small arms are still unaccounted for after the civil war.

Ammunition used in armed robbery has other uses in tribal fighting. More cash arms are stcoked up in Bawku by the Kusasis, Kuka near Bawku by the Kusasis, Pusiga by the Kusasis, Zabugu by the Kusasis, Binduri by the Kusasis and Zebillay the Kusasis. Brains behind these hidden deadly weapons ar MP Ayariga, MP Cletus Avoka and NDC regional idiotic chairman Alhaji Bolnaba and ex convict Stephen Atubiga. News flying around here says that they are preparing to kill NPP supporters and Mamprusis here after the outcome of the SC annoucement on the 29th August. We are terribly frightened up here.

Excellent work by the police, and a heart felt thank you on behalf of decent Ghanaians who hate criminals.

Ghana is still among the safest and most beautiful countries in the entire world, Ghanaians at home have demonstrated to the world that they are capable of being peaceful, polite and very accommodating, ranking them among the most civilized humans on earth.

There are those among us who are so stricken with self hatred and inferiority complexes, that they are incapable of being objective about themselves much less their country, to those unfortunate souls, I would say: GOOD RIDDANCE!
