Criminals are taking murders as a simple hobby now. It is now time to bring back the firing squad to let the criminals know that they may be made to taste the bullet when things go bad.

National House of Chiefs have a lot of jobs to do.They quickly have to build a database of all royals in the country as Dr Mahamudu Bawumia proposed in his 2024 election campaign. With GhanaCard and improvement of its usage,Ghana Police will assist them in the selection of chiefs. Our traditional Chieftancy institution will be destroyed for good if they don't act.

I think the Police may be complicit in framing up the Akokoa Chief in the murder case. Questions: 1. Why is Suliangari who is serving decades of prison term at Ankaful Prison now in SUNYANI PRISON GOING THROUGH APPEAL FOR HIS RELEASE FROM PRISON? Has he been promised something before framing up the chief? 2. The late Queen mother and the Akokoa Chief who has been mentioned by the prisoner are first cousins and they do not have any land or chieftaincy issues against each other. 3. Both the late Queen mother has a very serious land cases against Amanten Manhene at Techiman circuit court. The last date the queen mother attended court proceeding at Techiman was Tuesday, 24th February, 2026. She was murdered at her Atebubu residence at 11 p.m. the next day. THE AKOKOA CHIEF IS THE PILLAR BEHIND THE FAMILY WHICH INLUDES THE LATE QUEEN MOTHER IN THE FIGHT FOR THEIR LANDS AT ABAMBA AND AKOKOA which the Amanten Manhene has sold to Akate Farms. The Abamba Queen mother is the daughter of the auntie of the the Akokoa Chief. 4. Why did the police go to arrest to the chief at 2 a.m. in masks and why did they remove the CCTV installed in the house? 5. Who killed one of the killers who died while they were being transported from Atebubu to Techiman? The Amanten Manhene has tried on several occasions to destool both the Abamba Queen Mother and the Akokoa Chief who has now been mentioned as the one who ordered the assassination of the Queen mother and failed. All the above lead to one conclusion. Is the police doing the bidding of the Amanten Manhene, or is it all a grand coincidence?

I agree with you Mawutor. This is the most useless reportage. How can Nana Yaw who is in prison serving 77 years be the same Nana Yaw killing the Queen Mother outside of the prison. I don't think they do proofreading.

Congratulations Ghana Police. We want to see more breakthroughs in your investigations. There are too many cold or unsolved cases lingering on your neck. Perpetrators of crime must face the law and be kept where they belong: in prison. Woe unto any politicians who in the name of scoring cheap political points give amnesty to these barbaric criminals.

The police is either complicit in framing up the Akokoa chief, or they did a shoddy job by the IGP rushing to Atebubu to organise the press conference without a proper investigation into the story of the prisoner Sulia Gari and the shooter. After the press conference, the shooter who mentioned the name of Nana Owusu died while being transported to Techiman. How did he die. Now the other shooter has complained to the judge that he fears for his life in the hands of the police because of how the other shooter died. I suspect this is a grand design by the police and the Amanten paramount chief whose nephew is also a suspect to cover up for the Amanten Paramount chief who is suspected by most people in his paramountcy to have orchestrated this crime. Both the late Queen mother and the Akokoa hene who has been arrested, who are cousins, both on one side, have very serious land and chieftancy litigation against the Amanten Manhene which is being adjudicated in court at Techiman. Why is the prisoner who is serving decades of prison term at Ankaful prisions now brought to Sunyani court on appeal. Has he been promised with his freedom if he cooperates with the Amanaten Manhene and the police? The truth cannot hide forever.

To those doubting the report because the suspects are convicts, it's not unusual for convicted criminals to break out of jail. It happens all over the world. The question is: how did they manage to escape prison to commit the crime? Who aided them? How effective is security at the prisons? This calls for an investigation of the Prison Service.
