It is very sad, but I think this will also put the government and the security forces as a whole to intensify their fight against these evil act to root it out from the system. The Ministers don't really care much of the masses because they have tight security, so those evil doers have free days going on with their evil acts against the defenseless. I hope this will be a wake up call, not to wait till one of the top government officials is robbed and family killed. A word to a wise is enough.

This type of attack is what should engage the NDC instead of their ministers coming out to give a daily dosage of garbage talk.

Our society is so porous that armed robbers are accorded with human rights. Yes, they backers will tell you that they have right and should not be killed when confronted so, what about this? What is that useless Amnesty International saying about this? Look, armed robbers, when arrested should not be handed over to the police because they will be back on the street to ply their trade. The best solution to this carnage is instant lynching.

Law-abiding citizens seem to have no rights. It is only criminals who have rights in Ghana. Until we learn to deal ruthlessly with these criminals, Ghana will know no peace.

Atuguba and the supreme court judges have made Ghana lawless because of their injust ruling of 2012 election case. Posterity will not forgive them.

The armed robbers should have arrested the two policemen and put them before court, instead of killing them. speak out ye human rights dummies, you would not have shut your mouths had the police shot to kill the armed robbers

This news is very depressing, my sincerest condolences to the family, friends and police personnel for the lost of their loved ones, ( our national heroes).

The courts must apply stiffer sentences to police officers who are caught arming these thugs, also lawyers who withhold critical information from the courts and allow criminals to walk, thereby, emboldening them into thinking that they are invincible and can kill even law enforcement personnel with impunity.

To the blabber mouths who think that Ghana is a lawless country, please tell me which foreign country that you have lived in that has less crimes than Ghana, I have been in Ghana for the last four months and I have never been more relaxed and happy in many, many, many years, I feel a million times safer in Ghana than I've ever felt in the US.

Ghana police are better organized, equipped and trained than the predators called armed robbers, the armed robbers will be crushed by the police, there's no need for the armed forces to intervene at this point, to the clowns who think that Ghana police can be toyed with, TIME WILL TELL.

Just because your party lost the SC case doesn't mean the country is lawless. You said the battle is the Lord's and He has finished the battle. Why, do you think the Lord is lawless too, or you don't understand the Bible? Then don't quote it, just trust in your Antoa Nyama or whatever you call it. Bitterness will destroy you.

So can you really say that all is well in the Country? I am not talking as an NPP or NDC member, but as a Ghanaian. Can you tell me that people can sleep in the night without any fear of being robbed? My friend! I was in Ghana 8 months ago, and all that I heard from people is, "Don't go out in the night because you will be robbed". Is that not scary? These were not just NPP friends. Some I don't even know which party they belong to, but others I can confirm are staunch NDC members. Being in your own country and afraid to go out and you sit to tell me that the country has not become lawless? Wait till you are also robbed at gun point and you will then understand that, defending these things on party lines doesn't help.

It is very sick. it is very simple to deal with highway robbers. they should gather themselves in several kuffour buses and ply the roads of ghana all night. along the road, thbey will definitely meet these robbers who will block the road. the police then open fire. Nooo, they can't think of these. they will be sleeping and snoring, styanding on the road to collect bribes. but I still can't see how they will reason through this due to their sick minds.

The police is aware that university is always under attack. Winneba station sends officers there each night.Why can't there be a police station at Winneba Junction or Ansaful? Winneba is big enough to have two or three police stations. Evenso when the town has become a fertile ground for robbers from Eastern region through Agona Swedru, Accra through Kasoa and Mankessim through Apam junction.Think of police stations and not rented premises as barracks.

Where are the human right activists? Will they condemn the armed robbers or praise them this time round? Can I hear the views of the human right activists on this type of very sad incident? When it comes to a confrontation with arm robbers I think the rules must change from attempting to capture them alive but rather to put them to perpetual rest. A few times human right activists complained about the police killing armed robbers but when the arm robbers kills the police they look the other way. Now this police men are probably law abiding bread winners for their families and a group of lawless fools have killed them, simply for trying to protect the public. Human right activists need to be careful what they say when an armed robber is gunned down next time. A word to the police "Never send a man where you can better send a bullet" Armed robbers are public enemies and shall always remain so.
