The story the police are presenting here doesn't add up.An officer alone in an area so dangerous they had to call the army ? Tried to identify himself but did not succeed so short at them and one person ended up with a bullet in his leg . This is a shoddy investigation meant to cover the truth that he was there to cut a deal with criminals and they thought it was cheaper for them to kill him. We all know that town is a stronghold of NDC for decades so they not know who he was or not have their links to the army is bullshit . 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 Akans its easier to blame them instead of finding out the truth. The story doesnt add up , anyone who has taken the time to travel around most pats of the Central region will observe even in the middle of the night even white girls , tourists Europeans and other foreigners walking alone or roaming around unaccompanied and nothing ever happens to them . But then again every once in a while we hear of some white-man being killed because of some gold deal. 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. On this forum we notice all the lying hypocrites who have come out to condemn the town but fail to notice the crimes committed like corruption , nepotism , incompetence etc. A sin is a sin and a crime a crime , why turn a blind eye to corruption and yet talk shit about one lynch. Police stations are being burned to the ground and now most security agency personnel are scared and shitting in their pants because soon the people will arise. 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 was 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.

Hope the public trial is good but why don't they start from the Delta force case? The inaction of Akufo Addo and his members of NPP is the causative agent to these people's barbaric act. This galamsey issue, they were told that many big brains are behind but lack of competence and too known had led them to cause the young man's death. Perhaps there are some elements of Delta force in this killing; since we head their commander says their number had gone up.

Time To Add My Voice To Plight of Soldiers
My name is Lt Col(Rtd) Edward Affainie. The gruesome killing of Capt Mahama is a clarion call to the Military High Command to do an inhouse cleaning.
I joined the military at a very tender age just after my GCE Advanced Level education. During our enlistment my best friend and i were awaiting our results. I retired as a Lt Col having served in a various capacities from platoon level, instructor at the Military Academy, through to the Army Headquarters level and ended my carrier in December 2010 as Deputy Director for Peacekeeping Operations at the Army HQ.
As a young officer in Tamale I participated in internal security operations in Ghana's Northern Region. I was Adjutant 6BN when a Task Force was setup for Operation Gongon IV and that was when my eyes got opened to actual risk of our job. This is not the first time a soldier has been killed by the very people he was sent to protect but thanks social media, this time it was brought to public notice otherwise the military would have kept it within.
As a young Adjutant, I received bodies of officers who were murdered by the people they went to protect. Some of the bodies were brought decomposed because they were not found on time. In one instance, a ditch was dugged and covered as an ambush for the military commander and his men. Once they fell into the ditch, they were killed by the villagers, the military vehicle and their bodies burnt and weapons taken. This was in the 90's during Rawlings era. As if that was not enough, a young officer who is now a Col and very good friend of mine was to be courtmartialled for saving a situation in Tamale. What was his crime? The officer who got killed in the first incident was an intake mate to this young officer and the young officer had asked permission to attend the burial of the officer killed. Whilst coming from where he was deployed, he got to Tamale township and the town had been besieged by the locals who were even marching to ADB bank to break into the bank. Troops from Airforce were trying to contain the situation by firing warning shots but the people believed their Juju was working and decided to pounce on the troops.
The Commanding Officer 6BN ( May his soul rest in perfect peace) was caught up in this incident at bank with his driver and body guard. This officer had to fight his way through and rescue his Commanding Officer to the Barracks. Unfortunately innocent people were hit by stray bullets when he deployed his men to fire for effect ( an order which stopped the rampage in the town). The Defence Minister whose wife later became an attorney general in Ghana, wanted to appease his people by sacrificing the military. He led a committee to the Task Force HQ and that was when the Task Force Commander stoop up for this officer and said he should be courtmartialled instead. What saved this young officer? As the committee went to the hospital at the barracks to visit victims who got injured a military vehicle brought another young officer shot with an arrow in his mouth. Oh God! This was a young officer I had sent to go and bring seized weapons and they were ambushed by the people whose weapons were seized. Now the committe realised the military had a case and that was what saved my friend.
I remember the Task Force commander being issued with statements from Castle to make. Some he did not agree with. Rawlings himself had to come to the North because he felt what the soldiers felt. It was at this point 64 Infantry was brought in to help contain the situation.
My question is must somebody always sacrifice his life before we put our house in order? Like the soldiers said at the durbar, internal security is the work of the police and the military comes in when the police cannot contain the situation so why are we at the forefront? We have even been accused by the minister of lands so why are we still deploying troops for this type of operation when this is the time for the police to respond. Why cant we explain to the politicians and withdraw our troops to the barracks? Is there any gain the troops are not aware of?
I have personally worked with the CDS and have confidence in him. I humbly plead with him to take a second look at the deployment of troops on some of these operations and come up with some directives. We cannot afford to make more wives "husbandless" and more children fatherless. Please hear the cries of wives and children and pull the troops back. We are in a constitutional government so let us allow the police to take the lead in this galamsey operation. Please listen to your troops. They say bring them home. They want to die in battle whilst defending the nation by air, land or sea even at the perils of their lives and not to be killed this way by the very people they are sent to protect. These innocent killings have gone on for long without notice and the blood of Captain Mahama says enough is enough. Let no more military blood be shed this way. Let us take politics out of the military and tell the politicians what they must hear and not what they want to hear. The soldiers have experiences they cannot share because they are still in uniform but let us listen to their plea when they say they should be withdrawn from such missions. Do not wait to hear soldiers killing people in such areas in self defence before you attempt courtmatialling them to please politicians. Please pull all of them out and bring them home. Enough is enough. We have paid our dues to mother Ghana. Please stop sacrificing our lives and that of our innocent wives and children. This is not what we bargained for when we swore to oath of allegiance. We have allowed this impunity to go on for long and it has reached a stage we have to review our modus operandi. I hope the committee set up by the CDS will live up to the expectation of troops by coming up with realistic and workable recommendations.
May the gentle soul of Capt Mahama and the souls of all our fallen comrades rest in perfect peace.

Politicians are killing our society .it is time we must say no to them, enough is enough and stop stop that stupid all die be fie matter . ask them if they will allow their children and love ones to go and die for them? I blame Nana Addo for what is going on in this land yes he is the chief executive and the commander in chief of this mother land perhaps if the delta 8 were punished it could have save this solder live. By extension npp is the the brain behind all the crime in this country . just look at how that village boy called DC bronya is invading people privacy as if he is all in all just in the name of politics to size cars. I wish that idiot enter my house, like I will show him their madness . all die be die. I wish ken adgepong will learnbsomething sensible from what is happening in Ghana . politicians must mind their words because when the people rise to their nonsense talks Ghana will burn

Hence the fight against mob action can significantly be achieved if the trial of the alleged killers is televise live to serve as the major platform of interest that will get everyone glued to their tele for education and the importance to value other person's life.this will restore our lost culture of neighourlines.

Everyone should ask the NDC and Rawlings, what did the judges who were taken from their homes and killed do to deserve what was meted to them? Why should soldiers be used for presidents and his cronies. For the sake of looting mother Ghana and bestow poverty on her people. Only Mahama and his NDC fools should enjoy the wealth of this country. There is a saying that what goes around comes around. To the sensible ones captain Mahama did not deserve what happened to him, neither the judges deserves what happened to them. Why should only few people enjoy the fruits of mother Ghana? A word to a wise is enough. Thank you.
