How on earth can you compare the Azorka boys to what happened in Akyem Ofoase,did you write this article to get support from the NPP folks here.
The Azorka boys reportedly erect illegal barrier in front of the stadium which we all know was wrong but to compare them to what ihappened in Ofoase is very foolish.
Why you didn't you write about the violence at the NPP Congress in Tamale and the follow up attack on the party's leadership with offensive weapons,which of this is a threat on our national security,how can a mere barrier be a threat on our national security when every Friday night we see many of these illegal barriers for parties and funerals blocking many roads?
If you are really following the political climate in Ghana you would have known that these political groupings exist in the two political parties.
Nobody is saying these groups are okay to exist but to single out one and compare them to terrorist organization is uncalled for.
If you want to write about Boko Haram please do so and stop comparing Azorka boys to terrorist organizations,you owe this people apology.

The earlier the members of this group and their backers are arrested and dismantled the better for the NDC and Ghana as a whole!

You are one of the very idiots who comment on issues just upon sighting the caption without doing due diligence to the whole text. Well, for your information, this essay is not attacking your Taliban-NDC but rather seeking to bring to the fore the dire danger and the possibility of exploitation of these splinter militant groupings on our soil by some lunatic fringes, particularly the proliferate Islamic terror militant elsewhere on the globe. You see, you are the kind of little ass licking sucker who open up for Trokosis and Akatamansonians to be insulted in this forum.

The fact of the matter is that Bokor is ignorant about these issues while you are stupid.
Do you know of the Bambagate formed by your former National Organizer,if he really know much about all these happenings why he didn't write about that group,did you see the Azorka boys attacking people with machetes and other offensive weapons like some of the groups in your party did barely a month ago?
For your.information,the Azorka boys exist since NPP time,they were not there during the first NDC administration but NPP time.
You and Bokor should also know that the CDRs,the people militia were all organizations formed right from the beginning of the revolution which ceased to exist when we returned to constitutional rule,NDC never had anything like that for him to write "PNDC/NDC has also had its version of such amorphous bodies"
The CDRs were formed in every single community and every work place in Ghana with the name PDCs for the communities and WDCs for workplaces before they were changed to CDRs in 1984,they had nothing to do with NDC.
The Niger Delta guys if he is really following events in Ghana well he would have known that those guys were brought to get training to join the civilian life and they were in Takoradi Polytechnic in batches and I believe some are still being trained there.
Articles should educate us on things happening in our country but not to mislead us.
Do your homework well before you write,it is not a force to write if you are not familiar with the issues.
Adding Azorka boys to what just happened in Ofoase is foolish,it is a way to make the likes of you happy make it looks like NDC has something with terrorist groups.

You think Azorka Dagomba Tamale boys misbehaving in Kumasi, the heartland of Asante pride and thumbing their noses at their guests is nothing.
I can promise you that no tribe can go to Ho or Keta and disrespect the Ewes and live to tell about that experience. Ewes would have skinned these Azorka boys alife.
I don't care about this Bokor aka Anthony Kumah the Ewe hegemonist idiot but he is right about this Ndc Azorka terrorist group.

Compare to terrorist Rawlings Rawlings who shamefully beat his Vice President, something that has never happened anywhere in the world, whatever happened in Tamale was a PEACE MARCH

Sarpong, the knuckleheads from Tamale operate on the false assumption that others are intimidated by their thuggish tactics and they sincerely adhere to the belief that they are above the law and thus no law enforcement agency can collar them.
My friend had a rude encounter with their former leader who is now the Chairman of NDC(Northern Region). He had, contrary to land purchase norms and regulations, audaciously built a massive mansion on land that my friend had purchased years ago near To avoid violence and mayhem, my friend resorted to the legal system to sort this quandary out. The Azorka Chief was hauled to court and there he was found guilty of conspiracy to steal property and putting up an illegal structure. Invariably, the law came down heavy on this miscreant. He was fined heavily and thereafter he came on bended knees to beg my friend for forgiveness.
The moral of my story is that these Azorka boys deserve to be penalized in a court of law for their shenanigans...if those arrested in Kumasi are punished, the rest will take a cue from that and behave appropriately.....
Bokor's article raises important issues, but if I were him, a trained journalist that he is, I would have called the various parties especially those accused of alleged Boko Haram ties and interviewed them extensively...to get their side of this very "important story"...Going by what a rag.....a cheap newspaper says....is inherently dangerous as the facts may not stand intense scrutiny. To rely on just one source to write a column of this magnitude does not serve any useful purpose except incite emotions and stoke fears.....

In as much as we detest any act of lawlessness, we must also avoid misleading interpreations that seek to create mistrust in Ghana. The reference to Boko Haram is in destaste? The use of the term in the eatsern Region has nothing to do with religion or any group in Ghana or even in remote Nigeria. Read the police report on the issue. Terrorist and Boko Haram recruitng from Ghana, and Azorka boys? I humbly appeal to people with good intentions to be careful with their referents. We can only appeal to the police to do their work, which they rigtly exercised in Kumasi.

I would also want to know why Mr?figure out? insist on linking grandly a set of mischievous people to any muslim. I think it is better to find an accommodating attitude to each other rather than trying to find the needle in the ocean. Islam is a religion of peace and submission to the will of Allah.
It means that Allah is the originator of all things mundane. There actually nothing that man can change through violence once peace has failed.Boko Haram or whatever the name will be judged by Allah for the slaughter of Allah's creations.We also has clear thinking humans should not be EXTREMELY labelling and pushing our brothers into a brand their religion has not called for.We shouldn't force our myopic views on others just because they are in the same religion with one who just decided to go astray.Even a UK minister in her address to ISIS pointed blankly to them that what they were into was unISlamic. They were a bunch of people gone astray.
READ THE QURAN,Mr.figure out.And make informed judgement rather than speculate . It's irreversibly disastrous the damage the pen can cause in ignorant hands.

J.K.Borkor. For Ghana to thrive Allah's peace be upon us all.May both the ignorant Muslim be blessed and enriched with wisdom, for Allah did not create us diversely to hate one another but that we may recognise each other's shortcomings and in so doing appreciate His greatness and love one another universally.
