Defend yourself next time.
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine. For instance 15 paracetamol at once..........or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
The MP was there to stop the team from carrying out their job?
Wallahi Tallahi!! That Ankaful day student aka MUMBI SERAKI has had a relapse. All join again in the prayers for this demented soul from hell!!
SHOOT AND KILL TIME HAS REACH
You were not armed for nothing ! spray them with the bullets

So, are the galamseyers stronger than the state? This lawlessness should not be allowed to continue.
What was the use of their AK 47 that they were armed with? They were docile Soldiers who could not act to defend and protect themselves. Use the Guns next time. The Weapons were not for decorations. How can you survive if you ...

You don't understand, they acted professionally nit being trigger happy
Some of you @Ghanaweb speak like you don't have brain. The NAIMOS team comprised of 9 soldiers, and the community youth was made up of about 600 people some of whom also had guns. And you're opening your stupid mouth to 360 d ...

I thought you said you will stop galamsey in two weeks!!!
A bloody encounter yet no one was injured? The MP must be arrested immediately for questioning. They are some of the reasons why the fight against galamsey is not making progress.
@ Frankie. Should they take the Burma Camp Pharmacy soldier there? Trust me he would have shot twenty to death on the spot.
Bro, you deam right. He should have been taken there
And after school 20 what do you think the 580 people will also do to him? Use your brain.
They'll run like chicken
The MP must be arrested and subsequently fired from Parliament.
Over to the Hon Speaker. Please don’t let Ghana down. No embassy should ever issue visa to this MP.
Thank you Col for de-escalating the situation. For Ghana ...

Arrested for what? I thought the NDC government sanctioned galamsey, why do you think the MP supported them?
Do you remember NDC assuring them that when they come to power they will release all those jailed for Galamsey?
The team must defend themselves when ever they are attack by these illegal miners, how can a burkinabee be brought to come and destroy our lands and water bodies,Ghana is a cheap nation indeed,
@ kulbogo. Is the Burkinabe a footballer to be brought? There are so many labourers of various ECOWAS nationalities who go by themselves to find menial jobs. Mention who went and brought them. Some of you just talk without t ...

My advice to our soldiers next time President John Mahama ask you to go to a galamsey site to arrest anyone don't go.Without State of Emergency don't go.You can easily die.
With this I doubt if Naimos will succeed.
I say so because what is going to happen is that wherever they go as a result of unemployment so many youth ie thousands of them will now be emboldened to support each other by pulli ...

NEXT TIME IF MAHAMA SENDS YOU TO GALAMSEY SITE, WHAT WILL YOU TELL HIM, HIS OWN PEOPLE WILL KILL YOU.
NDC IS INVOLVED IN GALAMSEY THAN ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY.
Masa, leave God out of this. What were you doing with your guns? The galamesay activities over there are state spornsed activities. The Mps in the those areas are involved......
We need to stop treating this Galamsey issues with kids gloves. Major Mahama was killed prematurely by the same Galamsey mob 8 years ago, it looks like we leant nothing from his death. This officer was related to current pres ...

Useless soldiers, this will never happen in burkina
GOVERNMENT SHOULD GIVE ORDER FOR THE TOWN TO BE DISCIPLINED. SIMPLE AND SHORT.
THIS WILL SERVE AS A LESSON FOR OTHERS.
And the NDC MP is going about lying that he did not such thing, and investigation must be conducted immediately to ascertain the truth. Galamsey(illegal mining)must be stopped at all cost no matter who is involved.

If you have a weak wannabe dictator you get weak army. By the grace of God indeed. Impotent army
Does it mean that naimos couldn't have protected themselves? Ah , if the miners can ran over those put up by the president easily like this including their commander and the commander to talk this way mean we've already los ...

So when is the Ghana Army battalion at Sunyani invading this Ahafo area to clear these Thugs and the Galamsey MP from the face of the Earth?
#StopGalamsey#Speaker Bagbin, please activate the process for the MP to be arrested and his seat declared VACANT. These people are calling themselves honorable. Tweeaaaa#SaveOurPlanet#
Ebenezer Kwaku Addo should be arrested.
Your mother should be arrested. Kwasea. Did you call for the arrest of Adu Buahene and Gifty Oware? Fool
Even your response shows Naimos can't succeed
The MPs are the cause of Ghana problems, they are the one behind the galamesy in the country. The former president and the current president are all aware of that, but because galamesy money is what they use to run their part ...

Parliament should Vote and Expel the two Galamsey Kingpins Hon Collins Dauda and Hon Ebenezer Kwaku Addo from the house.
Never they are representing their constituents and apart from them nobody has the power to remove them.
I swear the speaker has no such powers.
Nt even warning shot
Hwidiem would have been a ghost town by now if they had succeeded in killing you the soldiers.
So it is now clear our politicians are now the driving force of Galamsay Ghana. Are they above the Laws of Ghana.
Bring them to Justice
The MP must be arrested ASAP if he has up till now not been.He is not above the law simply because he is an MP.
Can we win the fight against galamsay.?
That will be great. Ghanaian sitting down unconcerned for Mahama selffish interest to destroy ghana. What do you expect when ndc was telling them to vote for them so that when they win power they can continue do the galamesy. ...

Ghana needs a military takeover to deal with this galamsey menace as ALL the politicians and SOME chiefs are deep neck into this nation wrecking practice.
They just don't care what happens to everyone else as long as they ar ...

My compatriot Collins Dauda is criminal and I don't know why Ahafo people continue to worship him as such. NDC is a criminal organization
Concert!! Weren’t you all armed with Ak 47? Next time empty the bullets on them. Kill them all!
You were armed yet couldn't defend yourself. Next time when faced with similar situation, FIRE into the crowd and KILL as many as you can. Don't behave like Major Maxwell Mahama.
Ghanaians are watching
Ghana Armed Forces would've been mourning by now because of an MPs stupidity and foolishness. Ghanaians are watching JDM with eagle eyes the sort of action he's gonna take on that stupid politician. If JDM and NDC fails Ghana ...

The should use drones prevent loss of security people.
Remotely drones can destroy illegal equipment and if the mob wants to fight the drone, good luck.
Other communities can also do some.
Lawless by now they will be saying let them come again .
Collins daudas name pops up in everything bad in Gh.
Gh soldiers surviving attacks by God's grace. Next time use military tactics. Bedroom soldiers. Consult Israeli military for schemishes. Wawa colonel.
Hmmmm. To God be the glory for given you that humble lifestyle to secure your self from that mob action.

Are you aware that most Galamsey workers are on drugs, do you know the police duties more than they do? Are you aware that the Galamsey operators carry weapons . I wasn't expecting something like this from you. It's so sad
Majority of Ghanaians are themselves lawless and therefore support the evil NDC very much. Nothing will happen to the illegal miners and that's why NPP lost massively
The story is not complete
If the MP is not arrested and prosecuted to the fullest, then President Mahama is a joke.
His own minister is attacking security agents that have been authorized by the president to fight galamsey and this sends a wrong sig ...
