BNI Is synonymous with NDC Flagstaff House

The decision by the key operatives of the Kojo Tsikata-founded Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), formerly the Special Branch (SB) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS), to rudely and virulently defy the order of Judge Patricia Quansah, of the Accra Circuit Court, to release the three retired South African security police officials arrested at Agona-Duakwa and charged with endangering the security of the country, ought to be envisaged to have directly and unmistakably emanated from the Flagstaff House. It simply could not have been otherwise, because those of us present/alive at the “revolutionary” foundation of the BNI are incontrovertibly aware of the fact that the BNI is the bona fide torture tool of the erstwhile National Democratic Congress.

I also don’t recall any of the key operatives under the Kufuor-led government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) feeling as comfortable as the NDC operatives of the BNI in the unorthodox appropriation of the latter establishment as an instrument of torture. The BNI is indisputably an institutional importation from one of the revolutionary regimes after which the Rawlings-led so-called Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC) may well have been patterned, namely, the Castro-led Cuban government or the Gaddhafy-led September Revolution of Libya. Indeed, it is ironic for intellectual and political toddlers like Mr. Felix Ofosu-Kwakye to be accusing Officers Ahmed Shaik Hazis, Mlungiseleli Jokani and Denver Dwayhe Naidu of being of treasonous intent because among the “hi-tech” military accoutrements found in the possessions of these licensed security trainers were “Paint Guns” or “Spray Guns.”
This patently farcical mischaracterization of toy guns as vintage military hardware ought to inform the rest of the country and, in fact, the world at large about how deathly and morbidly frightened the Mahama Posse is; and this is rather pathetic. We must also not lose sight of the fact of the Zuma-led African National Congress (ANC) government being indisputably in on the rather bizarre decision by the Mahama Posse to treat these three South African citizens as non-members of the ANC and therefore common criminals deserving of being maltreated and possibly tortured with reckless abandon by the National Democratic Congress’ security operatives and being given long prison sentences.

Such eerily collusive and apparently collaborative decision by both the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress regime and the Zuma Posse still does not in any way, shape or form negate the judicial legitimacy of the order by Judge Quansah to release the three men who, by the way, we are informed entered the country legally at the express and contractual invitation of the leaders of the New Patriotic Party to train the security details of some of the key operatives of Ghana’s largest and most formidable opposition to the increasingly crude, brutal and authoritarian Mahama regime, because the NPP leaders do not trust the members of the highly politicized Ghana Police Service. The Talensi Experience has taught these leaders to be forearmed, having already been forewarned.

It is also rather laughable that a government that secretly and criminally consents to hosting certified Muslim-Arab terrorists from the killing fields of Afghanistan and Pakistan, just released from the U.S. Naval Base at Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay, should claim to be rattled by the presence of three legally licensed security trainers “armed” with paint guns who entered the country in full frontal-view of our customs and security officers at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA). The fact of the matter is that Mr. Ofosu-Kwakye and his boss, to wit, the Chief Resident of the Flagstaff House, have been desperately on the lookout to “equalizing” for their disastrous handling of the Gitmo Two.

But, of course, no psychologically sound Ghanaian citizen can be expected to even out scores by farcically converting spray guns, or spray paints, into AK-47’s, the weapon of choice and prime instrument of mayhem and carnage made readily available to the PNDC Abongo Boys in the 1980s by the Rawlings-Tsikata Trokosi Revolutionary Nationalist Team of Anti-Akan Butchers. And, by the way, the concept of the BNI as a vintage torture chamber could also well have been imported into the country by Capt. Tsikata from Angola, where this impenitent SOB is widely alleged to have spent considerable time training and rehearsing for the Rawlings-led Trokosi Faux-Revolution.

As of this writing, the three retired South African security trainers had, each, been reportedly granted a judicial bail in the sum of GHC 20,000 – about $6,000 – but, predictably, the Mahama Posse had decided to ride roughshod over the legitimacy of the country’s judicial system. Somebody ought to remind Little Dramani that the Shit-Bombing days of the Rawlings-Tsikata Devolution are well behind us.
