Atta Mills was named in Woyome's saga,
Naadu Mills, P.V. Obeng, The Ahwois, Barton Oduro, Betty Moulds, Kwabena Duffour, Michael Dokosi, Solomon Nkansa, Fiifi Kwertey, Koby Fiagbe, Asiedu-Nketia, Kwabena Adjei, Otukonor, Alotey Jacobs, Quashiega, Koku Anyidoho, Alex Segbefia, Okudzeto Ablakwa and other NDC gurus such as the Police Chief IGP Paul Tawia Quaye, the Head of BNI and the Chief of Defence Staff.

Fellow country men and women, so if we have such a team of criminals leading
this country, how best can we get from
them to benefit our country and the
people of this nation?

Atta Mills always claim he is a Christian, Asomdweehene and the so-called Defender of Faith if leading
such a barrage of thieves, criminals
and arm robbers, fellow country men and women, where will this nation go?

Rawlings is saying it, Nana Konadu Agyedmang Rawlings is saying, Kennedy
Agyapong is saying, Mr. Martin Amidu is saying, Teye Nyaunu and many disciplined politicians in the NDC
bunch of criminals are saying and of course the Opposition members are loudly sounding it solemnly in the ears of Ghanaians all these dangerous
activities by this Government to the
People of Ghana,

No political figure nor army officer in a case like this would give orders to kill. Normally officers directly handling suspects over react and cause such deaths and injuries, if there will be any order it will be to arrest and detain. Giving orders to arrest and detain suspects is not a crime, it only becomes a problem when the suspects are mishandled. If orders were giving by a politician or a higher officer it would have come up in the investigations. Samia has also probably forgotten too soon what happened to others under her father's regime

Somebody asked that the man be sent to the military barracks! Who gave the order? An officer might have asked the two men in uniform to discipline him. Who gave the order? This is what Samia is saying! The two men in uniform did not jump on their own and went for the man from the Police station! Reason a bit with Samia! In your logical analysis, Army Barracks is where civilians are kept? Is it the police who arrest for the Army or the Army arrest and hand criminals over to the Police? Please!

The sentencing of the two soldiers is not justice. Soldiers don't get up on their own to beat up civilians brought to their Guardrooms in the current democratic dispensation as happened to Mr. Mobila leading to his death. They were instructed/ordered. To sentence them while those who gave the orders go scot free is the height of injustice!!! It is like arresting a man selling little quantities of drugs while the drug baron is free to continue with their trade.

In ALL Military camps, there are people who perform duties every 24 hrs and one of them is the Duty Officer. As it denotes, he/she is a commissioned officer or when there are shortages of commissioned officers due duty elswhere such as UN operations, a Senior Non Commisioned Officer (SNCO) of the rank of a WO, S/Sgt or Sgt will perform that role. That Duty Officer is held responsible for everything that happens during his/her tour of duty.

Strangely, we have not heard of any Duty Officer being charged. The Duty Officer of that day was heard on his cell phone taking instructions from the one at the other end to beat up and tourture Mobila. The Officer then gave the orders for Mobila to be tortured. Strangely, NPP govt sent the Duty Officer outside on course as soon as investigations started.

The grievous harm this is going to cause the Ghana Armed Forces will be very high. Since the Duty Officer has been left off hook, an Other Rank (OR) tomorrow will refuse to obey the orders of an Officer citing this very case that when these two soldiers obeyed the orders of the Duty Officer, they faced the music alone.

Tomorrow, when Ghana goes to war and orders are given, ORs can decide not to obey and that could lead to our defeat. Don't forget the axiom of the Military that "Do before complain".

The principle of international law as expressed under the Geneva convention governing the conduct of soldiers is based on individual responsibility.This enjoins soldiers to refuse illegal orders or they will be individually held accountable even taken into consideration the order from above mentality.The senior officers who must know better must held accountable for their role in the murder.Once they have been identified,they ought to be brought before the law otherwise justice will be seen not to have been done to the Mobila family.Justice for the murdered.

Can readers criticize sensibly or leave this forum alone. The writers demand for justice has no bearable reflection of her personal life, image or leadership quality. What sort of people are we in this nation, that someone dies in creditably trusted police custody and the perpetrators go scot free? It can happen to you or a closer member of your family, but remember the deceased innocent man also have some loved ones. Be sympathetic but even more be human and wake up from the den forest where animals ones lived. Africans for once lets think and behave like we have awaken up from the past of animal instincts manners, god eat dog and still the savagery inhuman instincts, very disgusted.

President Salvador Allende's foreign minister was killed in Washington soon after the 1973 CIA financed coup in Chile, it took over 30 years to bring the killers to justice. So must the struggle to bring the officer(s) (who were sent on peacekeeping mission after the murder) to justice. Samia, we support you and the CPP leadership on this matter. No to impunity. Mobilla, RIP.

Justice delivery is very funny in Ghana. What about Addo Kuffour, the then Minister for Defence? What about the then Northern Regional Minister and finally what about the Commanding Officer of 6 Infantry Battalion? The "small fishes" have been sacrificed to save the neck of the bigger guys who issued the orders to beat up Mobilla. God will judge NPP and the Kuffour administration one day. May the soul of Mobilla rest in perfect peace.

Fate had it that I saw myself locked-up in the same guardroom where Issa Mobila was tortured to death in 1969. It was when I was preventing a little ram of my brother in-law, then a Staff Sargent from entering the parade grounds. I was arrested by a military police corporal. I was earlier banned from the barracks during the evening and night because there was a suspicion that I will be sleeping with the wives of the soldiers when they are out of the barracks on training. It will interest you that there were older boys in the barracks and also in that particular quarters there were three of us boys, one who was older than me but were not affected by the ban.
My ghost thus refused to be a senior of torture to my comrade Issa Mobila, he an exposed CPP man and I underground.

As for these journalists in Ghana, what kind of training are they receiving these days? The man was beaten brutally and tortured and he died. Some people had been charged, tried, evidence presented and found guilty and you are still writing about "allegedly tortured to death"?? Grrrhh!!!!

It is good to hear from Samia but I think the CPP has been too comatosed over this Mobila killing. Even Rawlings had campaigned more for the culprits to be brought to book. While the trial was going on, the CPP should have been campaigning for the snr. officers known to have instructed those privates to beat up Mobila to be charged too, not wait until the trial is over before making noise. They should have been calling on govt to use Interpol to arrest absconded Goka but nothing, nothing! They should have seized the opportunity to become the common people's defenders by seizing on every news of police brutality on poor civilians to call a halt to brutalities on civilians and going to court on a pro bono basis to defend the victims and asking for compensation for them. But nothing of the sort happened. This is all a reflection of the pathetic and reactionary level the CPP has fallen to! I am pro-Nkrumaist but definitely cannot see myself in the CPP of today. It stinks and is clueless!

Throughout Kufuor's admin, the State never attempted to prosecute these known delegate killers and their delegators. Even no single soul was arrested for killing Ya Na! Since some people are more Ghanaians than others, today, they're still shamelessly saying that the Supreme Court should annul valid votes cast by second-class Ghanaians. Shame!
