So, Mr Inspector General of Police, who do you classify as the troublemakers? The soldiers firing live bullets into unarmed civilians, or the citizens of Ghana exercising their constitutional right to demonstrate?
Can you clarify how you are going to deal “decisively” with those you refer to as “troublemakers”? Does it mean again, shooting civilians, citizens of Ghana with live bullets?
Why do Ghanaian leaders treat their own citizens like rats fit for hunting with lethal weapons? How do you train the security personnel in Ghana? Is it a crime to be born in Ghana? Why does the Police and the Army choose “SOFT” targets and allow armed robbers to be roaming around the country with ease?
Look at the pictures below. It shows a fire service personnel trying to RESCUE a bird trapped on a roof of a building. A BIRD! A living creature.
Soldiers and Police in civilized countries led by responsible leaders do not aim their lethal weapons on their own citizens.
What sort of leaders do we have in Ghana? Are the leaders HUMAN BEINGS or are the leaders ANIMALS with no conscience and therefore they feel no remorse when they take the life of someone’s child? All because of POWER?
Mr James Oppong-Boanuh, the Inspector General of the Ghana Police, as a trained lawyer we assume you must have read the Provisions of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana. When you preside over the death of innocent citizens out to express their feelings about the conduct of an election, then surely, you should be aware that you have blood on your hands.
People of your ilk are driving Ghana into the abyss, unfortunately. In the 21st century, tyrants have no place to hide. Leaders in authority who order the full force of the machinery of armed forces to be visited on their own citizens lose their legitimacy to rule.
Power is derived from the people and in the people it resides.
