Abongo you are a real idiot, after all since ndc came to power how do you find your life? Are you better off than before? Don't tell me you live abroad because if I were you like you don't see nothing wrong in this bugabuga aban I would have moved to Ghana to continue a better life there.You are an idiot, pig, a young man has been brutally killed in line of duty by a crazy person and you don't want nobody to blame your government? If your government has been able to solve a little bit of unemployment these young men wouldn't be depressed to take weapons with them on the streets, most of Ghanaian youth are depressed because of hopelessness.It so sad to see an able young man like that pass away, my condolences to his wife and kids and the bereaved family.DUE RIP.

Advice to our police officers. Please try to do it the American Police way. Don't get too close to the suspect. Let your finger always be on your trigger when questioning the suspect. Always let the suspect raise both hands before you get close. If the suspect is in a car, let him remain seated in the car while you approach him/her. You should approach suspects in cars in twos, trigger ready. one watching suspect/s action trigger ready from the other window. I think there are more to learn. Again, equipping yourselves with pistols would make yo sharper than the old, old wood and barrel guns

Why would the Police be searching a "suspect" without first making sure he is not in a position to cause harm?

The Ghana Police Service needs to employ tactically better training methods enough to equip their men to deal with sophisticated and hardcore criminals of today.

How could a suspect being searched be able to inflict such damage on the police officer doing the search or looking on? It takes better training and operation to handle this seemingly simple situation. May the poor officer's soul rest in perfect peace.

My heart goes for this innocent hard working man who was just trying to make ends meet. I wonder what went wrong in apprehending the suspect. 4 officers not watching each others back until tragedy happens. What kind of training did these officers have. We need well trained officers in our community to protect themselves and us.

Disarm suspect, well detained and secured, be more vigilant among yourselves, suspect and around you before search. Handcuff before search should be the last option. Officers should be alert, drug free, loyal, greedy free, and bribe free. Government increase their pay, citizens be pay a little tax towards that, criminals be prepared to pay fine or jail time,and repent! Community can be secured and breath better with prayers and Gods intervention. Amen.

The Gh police administration should train prospective police officers well.I was not there but, I suspect the victim confronted the suspect alone and his colleagues who were round rush to the scene when they saw or sensed he was in danger.
How could one man overpower four policemen and able to stab one of them if they were strategically placed around him.
Gh govt should spend money to give them further training.

First of all, I would like to know what in the hell are the other four police officers doing while their colleague got hit? The other three officers MUST be jail for their stupid act. Either way, at least one or two officer MUST stand by on guard to make sure that the man that is being searched never try to overhaul the officer. Ghana Police, sometimes I wonder what kind of training you've been given the officer. Who is the moron running the Ghana Police Commissioner post? Damn, this sucks to hear news like this, I would recommend those four Police offers must stand trial as they are the caused of this young man's death.
