Why all these rise in lawlessness in Ghana? Honestly speaking, we must begin to have serious discussions to establish why this is the norm in Ghana these days

I believe it is because of the negative signals they are receiving from the government.

The Ghana Police must forgive army personnel and not revenge by lynching them. Soldiers are Zombis and cannot think for themselves.

I have always said and maintained that the ghana army are full of crooks and are the worst culprits when it comes to instant justice. Nobody is talking about this one because he did not die and even if. The millitary in ghana is so lawless maybe because they are paid for doing nothing. lets ship them to afghanistan, syaria o nigeria to fight ISIS, taliban and Boko Haram

This is an unfortunate incident. However, the Police Officer should have taken simple instructions and return. The soldiers were working of orders. Within the Barracks there are places designated as no thoroughfare. Such places are usually applied by only High Command. If a soldier orders someone to halt or freeze at gun point the person dares not advance. Once you advance you are considered an enemy. At the Operational Area if a soldier challenges a suspected character with a password and the right response is not acknowledged the soldier may fire a warning shot and may follow it with a fire for effect. This is a lesson to all of us.

Now even the custodians of the law are becoming lawless. The soldiers are angry and it's just a matter of time. Akufo Addo is not fit to be Ghana's president.

If it's indeed a thoroughfare, then why did the soldiers ask him to return?A "thoroughfare" is a way or place for passage. I hope the journalist was trying to say the uniform police officer was using a " No thoroughfare" route.

And now to my soldiers, why do you delight in beating up people? One day, you'll all retire from active service and that's when you'll see the rewards of your brutalities.

At the time the nation is weeping about the gruesome murder of your captain, you're here doing same to a law enforcement officer in uniform. Clap for yourselves.

I know that route is sometimes used by vehicles driving from Bank of Ghana / Central Police station to Bantama and other areas. It's a route through a military camp and there is a military barrier/post at the entrance.

The news states that it was late in the day and they will not vehicles to use the route at odd times. But for the indiscipline police lifestyle, there was no need for him to have resisted. I think the beating serves him right

THEN THE NEXT QUESTION IS AS A DEMOCRATIC STATE WHO AMONG THE TWO HAS THE RIGHT TO STOP EACH OTHER? THE POLICE WORKS 24 OURS WHILE THE SOLDIERS ARE LIMITED THEY ONLY WORK 24 OURS WHEN THEY IN WAR AND GHANA WE ARE NOT IN WAR....AND WHEN THEY STARTED BEATING HIM WHAT WERE THEY EXPECTING? SUPPOSE HE DIED HOW WERE GOING TO ANSWER FOR THAT? SOLDIERS ARE ONLY TO STAY IN THEIR CAMPS INSTEAD OF WORKING AROUND AND MISS BEHAVING SINCE WE ARE NOT IN WAR AND ALLOW THE POLICE TO DO THEIR JOBS.

These occurrences were happening 56yrs when I was a small boy but were not reported due to "low mouth piece" of Ghana Journalism.

From the news read, the police was being rude and lawless and that was one of the means to discipline him.In fact it serves in right.

Are we not in this country when soldiers under training revolted hard training they were having and were all sacked from training? That is the discipline plan for Ghana soldiers which police must go through as well - in fact, Ghana police, before passing out must go for at least 3 months military training, a situation that will compel them not to be standing by road side to collect tips. Ghana police are too indiscipline.

I don't like what are developing in our country Ghana. It's like we are going back to the era when soldiers and policemen periodically exchange blows in the past at the least provocation until General IK Acheampong's bloodless coup promoted a cordial relationship between the Police and the Army. The current authorities should wake up from their slumber before things get out of hand. Signals on the ground are not good for the country!
