All political leaders, chiefs and queenmothers & pastors: please start a campaign to stop lynchings in Ghana. Too many people are lynched on mere suspision. If your son goes out and comes back safe, thank God.

Anybody knows you hear the name Mahama and you know some sophisticated fishy business or crime is being committed using various institutions as their camouflage cover . You listen to the various videos and you may even hear the gunshots of the captain shooting at the people but no where was he shouting as required to identify himself. Because the people are Fantis or Akans its easier to blame them instead of finding out the truth. Lynching is wrong but this has elements of self defense and over reactions to it, remember he fired his gun at the people before with courage they disarmed him . It would have been better if they had handed him over to the police but we all know he would have paid a bribe and those who had apprehended him would have been languishing in jail . There can be no peace without the assurance of justice. Npp , Ndc and most of the media are in a hype propaganda mode to blame the innocent people of the town rather than properly look at the suspicious activities of the captain . First he was jogging alone with a gun in plain sight . Rather than identify himself chose to engage in shooting at the residents , a sign of substandard training or criminal intent . He wwas on duty and an officer but had no other lower ranking soldiers accompanying him , was he deployed there to be on holiday so could go jogging around ? Never trust these security forces especially the army as they are involved in all kinds of criminal activity and always have sophisticated propaganda lies to make it appear they did nothing wrong. A wise man once said its stupidity to know the truth but chose to believe the lie.

You cannot help but feel sad. He did not kill anyone, did not rob anyone, did not rape someone. How could any God-fearing person do such a thing?

I have always said this and will continue to say it.......the two USELESS parties in NDC and NPP are to be blamed for everything evil, happening in our country today.

The level of lawlessness and disorder is unbelievable. When you politicize law and order in any society, what then prevails is mob justice.

When you allow hoodlums who insult and physically attack our judiciary without any punishment, mob justice prevails.

Same as when you allow corruption and thieves with 'pens' rob our nation of its taxpayers money and justice is not seen to be done, mob justice prevails.....

All we continue to hear is that we have a president who believes in law and order and yet, under his watch our society is getting from bad to worse. When will he effect law and order to secure our nation??? The talking is over, do something now!!!

NDC and NPP have nothing to offer GHANAIANS so, GHANAIANS should stop voting for them, PERIOD!!!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

The Captain's cruel death is really sad. But as you are aware, this is a common practice in countries where systems don't work. Ghanaians no longer believe in the police service. Even if the guy was suspected of being an armed-robber, he ought to have been sent to the Police station or the Ahemfie for further interrogation. However, because the people thought that the police would not do a diligent work, they took the law into their own hands to administer what in their eyes, constitutes justice. How many times have instant justice by lynching suspects to death not happened in Ghana? More than several, I suppose. Kejetia, Makola, Kotokroba etc have witnessed these scenes on countless occasions. This case, sad as it is, has become a high profile one because of who the victim is. As a people, we need to renew our mindsets. We need to allow the laws to work. That also means that the police and the judicial service must practice with an honest and a responsible mindset. No bribery, no corruption! In Ghana now, everything is about money. People don't respect politicians, traditional rulers, the clergy etc anymore. We only respect those who have money, irrespective of how it was acquired. Nothing seem to be working in Ghana. Sometimes I ask myself; what can I account for as being my contribution to promote the quality of life of people? In other words, after retirement, I will ask myself; what did I use my life for? If we wait till we are old, weak and exhausted, my fellow citizens, we are finished. We talk about Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, William Wilberforce, Abraham Lincoln, Alfred Nobel, Madam Theresa etc. No one remembers how many children they had or how rich they were but rather, their contribution to life for you and me. In the end, it is not how much money we had or how many houses we built or how many wives/husbands, girlfriends/boyfriends and children we had. Rather the legacy in terms of values that we are able to bequeath to the future generations is what matters. How we can improve the lives of others! God will one day ask us what we used our time on earth for.
We need to be wiser!!!
