It is only in Africa and more so Ghana where soldiers use uniform to intimidate and brutalize civilians instead of protecting them. Nana throw them out of your land and send them to barracks to manufacture pavement tiles and bricks to beautify our neighbourhoods. What if serving in the army was a national service at age 18 and that we all at some point had been, are or will become soldiers? Useless bunch of crooks in uniform.

This story is full of fabrications. how can a warrant officer of the Ghana Army beat up an 80yr old woman? AAAAba! Ghanaians. If the chief wants the land to sell as it is getting into the town he should come out and stop fabrications. The land is endowed with natural resources and when the chinese were in the country they promised huge sum of money for it hence all these antics.

Even if supreme court is now bent on biting, how much more the military? You ghanaians are indiscipline especially the mediamen who think they are super natural beings. There more measures to curb all these nonsence including beatings, so keep mute. Either you are disciplined or they leave you for armed robbers to do so. And again you cant eat your cake and have it. The soldiers train in Achiase to chace armed robbers so that you can sleep and snore. Look at the risk involved.

These idiots in starchy khakii uniform are the reason why Ghana is in a mess!!

In Ghana, soldiers don't even know their RESPONSIBILITIES. During Rawlings usurpation of power, Ghanains witnessed the mayhem soldiers rained on civilians!! sometimes soldiers even take the role of debt collection, and brutalize people who default on debt they owe.

When they are ready they take up arms and force themselves into power over civilians. Ghana is in a mess because of that nation wrecking attitude of soldiers. If they of NO USE in our society, then we should dismantle that institution instead of spending money on them ONLY to brutalize us.

If they have balls and want to fight, would somebody show them the direction to Afganistan?

we cannot leave Rawlings alone. we didn't order him to come and rule Ghana. he shot many generals in the name of accountability and probity only to acquire a land at Ridge and all that worth he has amassed. ask you self this question, does he deserve them. how did a flight lieutenant happen to own a land at Ridge. who did he buy the land from and how much did he pay for the land. he talks of a moral high ground but does not practice it. how anyone would still believe in such an idiot only God knows.

This report is incomplete, and therefore one-sided. The reporter failed to establish the reason behind these alleged assault, including the towing of the couple's car.

Is the chief telling ghanaians that since the location of the military barracks at achiase the people have not benefited from that. has this short sighted chief thought about what would have happened if the barracks wasnt located there. Yes there cld be excesses but a whole chief calling for the relocation is senseless and not properly thought through. Our chiefs must behave well and think far.

i smell a rat. this chief wants the army to leave so that he can sell the land. if his subjects were assaulted this is simply a matter for the authorities. why demand that the army leave. this chief has to be dis- stooled as he is thinking of only his pocket and not of his subjects. Is he implying that any body that fights or is involved in civil disobedience in his town would have to leave.

When at all will Ghanaian soldiers learn to be civil and law-abiding? Those of us who live in the area can make life difficult for the JWS and not even their guns can do anything about it.
