What is happening to my dear Ghana? Are we back to JJ Rawlings 1979 era where half-baked intellectuals who could neither crack Legon Business School nor Law Faculty and ended up in the military were terrorising Ghanaians?

What is govt doing, where is the attorney general? Where is the IGP, where are the journalists.

Who is championing the plight of the average Ghanaian in Mahama's 2015?

Please America help us because under P/NDC', soldiers, police and party members have been, and continue to be, above all laws in Ghana. Hence they kill, steal, take bribes, seize innocent people's property, brutalise opponents. rig elections, bribe judges, discriminate against Akans etc, all with impunity. The murder of innocent civilians by soldiers is almost a daily occurence but it doesn't come out. As long as this devilish and criminal party remains in power innocent people will continue to suffer in silence under this culture on impunity. Please USA we need help.

Don't forget that NDC will soon see this as a political attack by NPP. We have thieves in power who insult to get promotion. I once saw a drunken policeman with a gun boarding a trotro bus in Accra.

If the dead goats refuse to take action to punish the animals without brains, I advise the fanily members to get help from the most powerful shrines in Ghana or Togo to curse those beasts. This is what all would- be victims must do because the government doesn't care about them. All that mahama and his NDC care about is looting and dealing in cocaine.

Shame on you Ghana, does it have to take the Great USA to come in to solve our domestic problems? In the USA, there is law and accountability, where as in Ghana it is Woyome, Naa Yalele, Mahama etc. Where is our judiciary? where is our people of Ghana??? Bloody shameful. I guess you have queued up to buy holy water from TB Joshua.

Police atrocities against innocent unarmed black young men and women in the USA are commonplace but that country's congress does not even think it is an issue worth discussing. There is no shame on Ghana. If the American Embassy in Ghana thinks they have the magic wand solution they should please pass it on to their Home government.

Mr Olongo, thank you for your response. I must admit, you raised some very critical and valid points in your argument. I am very impressed with you. I am very aware of those key facts but i chose not to dwell on it, the reason being that the vast majority of Ghanians are intellectually lazy and cannot engage in critical thinking(looking at both sides of the coin!). I am therefore compelled to adopt a very rudimentary way of communicating my message to them which at times is bias. Mr Olongo,kindly check Ghana's position on the MENSA (IQ)world ranking table. Ghana is among the country with the lowest IQ in this world. I am sure you will agree with me that it is not possible to engage in analytical reasoning with idiots(of course not every single Ghanaian). Come on, they think Tb Joshua will cure Ebola, bring electricity and etc etc. We are talking about a nation who's citizens (Most) are brain damaged.

You are perfectly right about these facts on Ghana. And that is why the country is lagging behind in development. Unfortunately the devious leaders and the citizenry who do not even seem to know their rights think the Western world will bring them wealth on a silver platter. Thank you for sharing your thought.

The soldiers may go scot-free for now but the blood of the murdered shall be upon their heads and those of their descendants up to 4 generations.

Folks who orchestrated, conspired with foreign interests and incited tribal animus to create reasons for the 1966 coup are the very people who continue to sell fallacies of their brand of a democratic Ghana.
A read of articles written by Busia-Danquah ideologues often always refer to a so called flow of freedoms in Ghana even as others pretend Ghana has achieved because other nations refer to Ghana as best democratic nation in sub Sahara Africa. These folks forget to appreciate that a democratic UK is not relative to Western European nations neither is a democratic USA relative to the Americas.
Where in civilized, industrialized democratic nations of the world do we look to as examples of the military engaged in internal security operations? Where in civilized western democracies do we read of the military brutalizing the very citizens they are sworn to protect against all foreign enemies?
So while the perceived abuses of traitors and bomb throwers within the UP/UGCC did not sit well with 1966 collaborators they stay mum on abuses and killings of many Ghanaians in a freer democratic Ghana they delivered.

I was arrested for no reason at all, charged with nothing and humiliated before the whole community. I was latter freed and asked to go home without shirt or sandals. The driver's name is Tenu and his other colleague is Agbekor. They drive a military pickup with the registration number 44 GA 30. I don't know who I should report my ordeal to.

Marshall ur facts well before publishing useless articles of des nature. Dis s a sad event dat involved one soldier wid De remainder being police pers. "calmlife" patrols involves jz a soldier in a section of Police. No security personnel wil today chase someone, beat him up nd shoot at De person widout de latter resisting arrest. Dis ridiculous story nd shows Hw unprofessional our Journalists are. imagine ur stupod caption" MURDERED AMPUTEE BURIED; SOLDIERS GO SCOT FREE" u want attentn to ur damn story, not even two soldiers wil waste their time arresting an amputee. De law wil definitely hook De personnels up if dey r found guilty buh fr nw keep ur fucking less " security conscious" brains shut.i however sympathize wid his family nd may rest in perfect peace

My condolences to the family of the victim; I also support their quest to secure justice in this matter. however, I don't think it's any business of the US to come posing as a champion of justice for the oppressed. It should remove the beam/log in its own eye in Ferguson and elsewhere in the States before attempting to play such a role here in Ghana.

Yes the United States can help by stopping all aid to Ghana. This brutal act is very troubling. And for the government of Ghana not to prosecute is even more troubling.

The US Embassy is not an arm of the Govt of Ghana and neither are they a registered NGO in Ghana so they should keep out of our internal affairs.

No embassy or diplomatic mission anywhere in the world has the right to go go beyond their lawful diplomatic bounds. This is what the mutually binding agreements on diplomatic practice says. If for America, the rules have changed, then they should let all and sundry know so that we can all accordingly revise our diplomatic roles - especially in America.

Currently in Ferguson, in America, out of the population of 21,000, residents, comprising mainly Blacks, over 16,000 have been served with Police summons for some offense or the other. The mainly white police force therefore consider that every Black person in that town is a suspected criminal.

This kind of overt racist human rights violation against our brothers and sisters, is what we want America to take care of. We appreciate their interest in this particular case of extreme incompetence on the part of the Ghana Police Service but they should leave us alone to take care of our own problems.

America is too often found guilty of interfering in many countries of the world. The next thing you know, they will kidnap our President on some spurious and trumped up charges of human rights abuses or something like that and send him to face the same biased American courts that have been randomly jailing African-Americans for next to no reasons.

Now to you Brian Williams. I really do hope that the US will indeed stop all AID to Ghana so that our lazy good for nothing Presidents and Ministers will for a change learn to do things for themselves and ourselves as a country. However if on the other hand, your suggestion is meant to encourage that patronizing attitude that the US is notorious for, and thereby implying that they should punish us for foot-dragging on this matter, then I pity your sorry ass, you Uncle Tom.

That military man has to be brought into books. He has to be jailed for the rest of his life. Be careful with Ghana police. They are liars and they will cover the truth.

Even the president is afraid of the soldiers, and the foolish man who call himself the MP of this area could not help the poor family. God is watching.

Is there any justice in ghana? and when the poor and minority going to have justice.This is the case where AG and BNI should involve to search for the truth.Thanks to American Embassy and other organizations to stand up for innocent people rights and justice. We know if not your efforts there will be no justice under this lawlessness men in this government.Ghana stand up for justice even if it needs to hit on the street to bring justice. This could be me or you who don't have a say
