Was it not the Mampong Midwifery School that sometime back protested and organized demonstrations against John Mahama when he went there to visit, and they were subjected to severe beatings by the Police and other security apparatus of state, for daring to demonstrate against John Mahama?
This is the intimidation and coercion and the employment of force by the security apparatus of state, which has become the personal enforcement wing of the Mahama's NDC gov't to instill fear and cower the masses from expressing their heartfelt dissent against the status quo of economic collapse.
This was no ordinary killing and clearly, John Mahama cannot lead this country and cannot and will not be allowed to force himself on the masses having failed the governance test. He must go, Ghanaians insist.

It's time the poor lawyers in Ghana learn to take up a case like this. In the US, lawyers will chase this case because it's worth billions of dollars!

Professional Discretion is the hallmark of every security officer. I want to believe the Police were in a vehicle that could have chased and warned these harmless duo. They would have certainly stopped knowing their hands were clean.
Our police "boast" of being better in handling guns than our military. Why this? Was shooting to kill the only option at that material moment? So sad. Kontonkyiman Damirifa Due!

Right,they could have followed them to make sure they were the robbers before opening fire,to shoot just because they jumped on a motorbike is just senseless thing to do,they destroyed the lives of these innocent people for no reason,there is no justification for what they did,real armed robbers always run away from them but they are claiming they suspected they were armed robbers when the robbers had long left before their arrival,it is their inability to contain the armed robbers that no single day passes without armed robbers attacking people.

What's the purpose of police vehicles if guns are rather used to chase suspects? This is absolute nonsense and the police must answer to the law. My condolences to the family.

WHAT APOLOGY IS THE POLICE GIVING? HAVE THEY TRAINED TO KILL SUSPECTS OR TO INCAPACITATE THEM. IS THE POLICE SYSTEM BUILT ON A VOODU THAT SEEKS BLOOD ALWAYS? IF NOT SO, WHY SENSELESSLY KILLING GHANAIANS ALL THIS WHILE? I ONCE OVERHEARD A POLICEMAN THREATEN A DRIVER THAT, 'I WILL SHOOT AND KILL YOU AND SAY YOU ARE AN ARMED ROBBER'. FROM THAT DAY I LOST RESPECT FOR THE POLICE BECAUSE I ALWAYS WONDER WHEN TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY. THIS NATION IS SERIOUSLY IN TROUBLE.

Senseless killing, why should decent men like that be victims of police foolishness? It is more likely that they were drunk. Their families must be compensated big time.

Ghana Police are expert in beating peaceful demonstrators and collecting bribe. You don't know anything and even don't bother to learn. Have you see your level now ?

......And let them face the law. Failure to follow protocol resulting in the death of innocent lives is no excuse. Let the law work.
Charge them with manslaughter.

The increasing spate of police brutality and killings at the hands of the IGP John Kudalor Police service, under the Mark Owen Woyongo-led Ministry of Interior, should be a black lives and Ghanaian lives matter movement which requires immediate cessation, by Ghana rising up against this state of crassness and impunity, where the life of the Ghanaian has become worthless in the very land of our birth under a Mahama NDC gov't.
Ghanaians will not live under a gov't where the police service shoots and guns down the citizenry at will and at random, and apologize for such reprehensible conduct, in a manner akin to harvesting corn on a farm.
It is the precious lives of Ghanaians we are talking about here, and Ghana must rise up against this irresponsibility and recklessness of a police service which has gone amok under the express approval of a non-functioning executive, completely incapable of governing this country.
This impunity, the irresponsibility, the recklessness and the crassness of the John Kudalor police service must be brought within the remit of civilized conduct, because Ghanaian lives just as any black life matters in this country. Ghana must rise up!!!.
