    Why should the nation spend so much training special security forces to secure our boarders but not our persons.

    How did they get in? Did they force the door open? If they did, then the MP must be a very heavy sleeper. Like in the developed countries (eg UK and US) we should learn to keep our doors locked at all times.

  • Guitar Boy 11 years ago

    You know that in a whole lot of neighbourhoods in UK AND USA you don't have to close your door.

    The money taken is the peoples money. They just came to take their share. Shed no tears for these BASTARDS.

  • OBOATANTO 11 years ago

    THE POLICE MUST DO ALL THEY CAN TO CRACK DOWN ON ARMED ROBBERY. CULPRITS MUST BE HEAVILY PUNISHED. IF POSSIBLE INCARCERATING THEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME DEPENDING UPON THE GRAVITY OF THEIR OFFENCE

  • James 11 years ago

    Oboatanto, how many times have we as Ghanaians encouraged the police to crack down armed robbers either than it getting worse meaning the government is stubborn and not listening to advise. The police need international train ...

    I believe the arm robbers should be targeting our corrupt Ghanaian politician for their undue care attitude. They are been elected to take care of the nation but they work for their own interest not for the citizens of Ghana. ...

    For the first time, I have to thank armed robbers for a job well done. These MPs need to be tortured in order for them to feel how an average Ghanaian goes through each and every given day. I have no empathy for this useless ...

  • Wisemann 11 years ago

    If an MP can be attacked by armed robbers, then what will the ordinary citizen do. This is an indication that armed robbery is a menace in Ghana that needs tougher measures to address it.

  • James B. Otafregya 11 years ago

    Sampson, it is much better for the armed robbers to rob and probably kill a few of these MPS. When the robbers show the MPS what they (th robbers) can, the MPs will take the correct measures to clamp th robbers down.

    THAT IS A GOOD START. THE ROBBERS SHOULD DECEND HEAVILY ON THE MPs AND MINISTERS AND STOP THE POOR CITIZENS AND BUSINESSMEN.

  • kwaku antwi 11 years ago

    look. this is very bad news for ghananiens but as mp. u must get ur own security.because u paid well and ur life belongs to u

  • CHARCOAL SELLER. 11 years ago

    One cannot say that one is against armed robbery, then say that they are happy that the MP was a victim of armed robbers. Armed robbery is a criminal offence, to agree with it in any fo form, is an endorsement of criminality. ...
