After violently expelling Nigerians from Ghana through the satanic Asshanti Abrefa Kofi Busia's draconia ACO, (and stole their properties in the 60s). These XENOPHOBIC Ghanaians have started killing foreigners. Who says Ghanaians are nice people?

African Americans and other foreigners thinking of relocating to Ghana MUST think twice before making such move. RIP to the victims of Ghanaians 'INHOSPITALITY.' I rest my case.

THIS AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT ARE GOING HOME MUST BEWARE OF THEIR MOVES. THE WHITE MAN DOES NOT WHAT THEM TO GO HOME THAT IS WHY THEY ONLY SHOW THE BAD SIDE OF AFRICA TO THEM AND THEY TELL THEIR KIDS(WHITE KIDS) TO GO AND EXPLOIT OUR LANDS. JUST BY THEM SEING HOW WELL THEY(MURDED VICTIMS) MIGHT HAVE BEEN DOING IN GHANA INTIMIDATES THEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WHAT THEM TO GO BACK TO AMERICA AND PREACH THE WORD TO THEIR FELLOW AFRICAN AMERICANS. THE WHITES MAN'S MAIN AIM IS TO TAKE THE AFRICAN LAND AND THEY ARE NOT READY TO BE COUNTER CROSSED BY THE AFRICAN AMERICANS SO THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO SCARE THEM FROM WANTING TO GO HOME. THIS IS A CLEAR MAFIA MURDER AND OF COURSE, THEY USED OUR TOP POLITICIANS WHO DO NOT EVEN REALISE THAT THE WHOLE THING IS ABOUT ALL BLACKS AND NOT JUST A SELECTED FEW. AFRICAN AMERICANS DIE MYSTERIOUSLY IN OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES TOO. THEY ARE BEING ASSASINATED BY THE WHITES BECAUSE THEY FEEL THREATHENED BY THEM. IF ANYTHING AT ALL, THEY FEEL THEY NEED TO OWN AND DOMINATE THE AFRICAN CONTINENT BEFORE THEY CAN LET THEM IN SO THAT THEY (WHITES) WILL STILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEM. I HOPE AND PRAY OUR PEOPLE WAKE UP AND PROTECT THESE AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT CHOOSE TO GO HOME.

Stop spilling nonsense laced with GROSS IGNORANCE on this forum: This sad murder episode has NOTHING to do with Alien compliance Order.

In the first place, Busia was NOT an Asanti, and even if he was, his government's action had NOTHING to do with his tribe. Second, the Aliens' Compliance Order was a legislative instrument, (if know anything about rule of law). Ghana would DO IT AGAIN if undocumented non-Ghanaians rubbish our immigration laws and take us for granted.

Amongst ALL African countries, Ghana stands out as the MOST welcoming for our kith and kin from the US. This couple's death is very sad, unfortunate, unacceptable and un-Ghanaian. I hope the Police will do anything possible, including if necessary, seeking help from United States expertise to apprehend the perpetrator/s of such barbarism and bring them to face JUSTICE.

In the meantime, my friend, STOP writing NONSENSE, and get it in your mind that Ghana like many countries who value human lives, is governed by RULE of LAW,so if you're, for example, a Nigerian domicile in Ghana or the UK, respect the country's immigration laws and AVOID criminal acts, otherwise ALIENS' COMPLIANCE ORDER will RE-VISIT!!!

The difference is that, we do not know if they were targeted because they were foreigners. In South Africa, we know foreigners are being executed, murdered simply because they are foreigners. In South Africa, there is a public display of what they are doing to warn all foreigners that they are not welcomed. Here you have criminals that have murdered these two sisters, and buried them to hide what they have done.

I pray that the authorities help bring swift justice to the criminals.

AND HOW MANY OF THE LOCALS OWN EVEN A PITIFUL TOKEN OF LAND AFTER BEING THERE FOR 500 YEARS?

OUR STUPID CHIEFS WILL NEVER, NEVER GET IT.

THEY SHOULD GO TO AMERICA AND SEE IF EVEN THEIR OWN DESCENDANTS, BLACK AMERICANS, WILL GIVE THEM A GARDEN-MAINTENANCE JOB.

THESE FOOLS HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF WORKING AT THE WHITE MAN'S TOILET THAN GETTING A JOB WITH THE BLACK MAN.

THESE USELESS CHIEFS HAVE CROOKED SOLIDARITY WITH FOREIGNERS AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR OWN KIN, THE POOR SUBSISTENCE FARMERS WHO ARE DRAINED OF ALL HOPE OF EKING OUT THE BAREST MINIMUM OF QUALITY LIFE.

WHY WOULD THEIR GUESTS NOT FALL VICTIM TO THE BITTER LOCALS?

You are a sick head. What has any of your 'manbo-jambo' get to do with they being gruesomely killed and buried haphazardly? So, tell me, you would have prefered the whites instead to have bought those lands for the said development or what? Get this, those lands were sold to them like everyone else and they chose to do whatever they wanted with it. Is that a crime in any part of the world?

The Akwamu people were one of the most powerful tribes in the pre-colonial era. Contemporary Akwamus have become lazy and poverty ridden. Go to Akwamufie and see the pale shadow of Akwamu! They were just envious of the hardworking African Americans who have worked hard and turned the fallowed lands into a money making venture, so they killed them. The lazy idiots should be found and brought to book. May the souls of the victims rest in peace.

It is sad that these two human beings with such good intentions for mankind must end this way.

It is also painful that these people who have traveled all the way from their country where they have not known peace and respect, should come and die this way among their own people from whom their forefathers were forcibly and gruesomely kidnapped by the same kind of evil people a couple of centuries ago, to be used as slaves. It is so sad.

The said Minister of Chieftaincy and others who are said to have been their antagonists should all be immediately arrested without fear or favour and firmly dealt with if found to be involved with this senseless and needless murder.

It is unfortunate that our police is not quite up to the task of the odds that they face but as a country, we must clean our society of all these primitive and dangerous elements who go to such extents of killing to settle scores.

We sit here in Ghana and we condemn South Africans for inflicting appalling xenophobic crimes against other Africans, but here we are, doing the same thing - albeit on a smaller scale, to members of the African Diaspora.

It is such a shame that such a far-reaching crime could have taken place on Ghanaian soil. I am humiliated.

The Government must act fast to provide adequate security for foreigners in Ghana. It appears much of the assault on these folks stem from the perceived relative affluence they command among our hugely disadvantaged locals.

If we allow foreigners to be so easily murdered, Ghana would soon lose big tourism money and foreign investments.

Our foreign friends living among us must, also, not be too complacent with security to leave themselves unguarded. Ghana could, still, be among the most Peaceful Nations in the World. But the Oil fortunes, and unchecked corruption that is making a few filthy rich are turning some frustrated folks into murderous criminals who target outsiders more than locals.

Long Live Ghana!!!

If you want to know those behind the killing of the Afro Americans in Akosombo then read this. According to the story" The two who are leaders of the African American community in Akwamu were recently accused by the Chieftaincy Minister, Dr. Seidu Danaa, of illegally acting as chiefs."
"Private legal practitioner, Samson Lardy Anyenini late last year brought a suit on behalf of the leaders and against the Chieftaincy Minister whom they alleged had supported one Osofo to mistreat them using national security.

The Osofo was named in the suit as claiming right to the symbolic stool and skin created by the national house of chiefs to reintegrate disaporians.

Samson says that suit was withdrawn earlier this year after the Attorney-General (A-G) called for an amicable settlement."
The question is if the government has declared the status of the Afro Americans as an illegality, why did the Attorney General beg that the issue should be withdrawn from court. The answer is simple. Withdraw the case, kill the Afro Americans and case die.
I promise, The blood of these Afro Americans shall not be in vain. I will fight till the end.

I blame the blind minister for chieftaincy affairs for this unfortunate situation. Majority of people living in the rural areas are illiterates and barbaric. He shouldn't have taken sides but to have amicable solution. The fact he hasn't got sight doesn't make him brainless. These african americans are only in ghana or elsewhere in africa in search of their roots, which they rightly deserve as has been granted to jews. Above all there are some white queens and chiefs in many of our rural areas which are just symbolic because of their contribution to the community. They are normally called "nkosuo"chief or queen meaning development king or queen. Rita Marley and even some ghanaians are few examples. I find it as a shame and demands the minister's resignation or sack.
I know there is no culture of resignation in our ghanaian politics. SHAME UNTO US.

Listen to another brainless XYY Chromosome degenerate. What does this Douglas know about Akwamu area. Asante and the pattern of Ghanaian population and ethnicity? It is sad that Ghana our beloved land has degenerated into lawlessness, life of crime and avaricious greed and the strife for hell. All because an absolute idiot usurped power on the late 70s and 80s and brought unfettered criminality, greed and undisciplined into the country . Douglass Idiot, leave Asante alone because we hv to wait for the criminals to be arrested and even then it should be a question of ethnicity but of the individuals involved.

What is this country turning into? This case should be tangled with seriousness in order to bring the culprit (s) to book. May their soul rest in peace.

This is really sad. I wonder why killings have become such a norm in Ghana, and many parts of the world. Things were different when I was growing up in Ghana. One thing for sure. We desperately need God to heal our wicked hearts. Rest in peace my dear BRAVE women! I hope FBI steps in because they are American citizens, and family members deserve to know who killed them. THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION.

Murdered Americans not involved in land dispute – Lawyer
