I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HAPENNING IN DEMOCRATIC GHANA. WHAT? THISX IN DEED IS TAKING US BACK TO MEDIOCRITY, SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE BY ALL STANDARDS. THIS IS VERY CONDEMNABLE
the guy is a one-man law/dictator

THE TRAFFIC BUILD UP FROM THE STRUCTURES WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE NUISANCE THAT DEMANDED TIMELY REMOVAL. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RULE OF LAW OR THE MERITS OR LACK THEREOF OF THE TOLL COLLECTION. ANY SUCH DISRUPTIVE NUISANC ...

what a sad day it is today that i find myself agreeing with this ayigbe gbevlo , nketia and a few others , is it fear that has woken them up to start thinking right?
No, brutha, it is the University Authorities who are behaving as if they are a law on their own. Educated fools!
Debate what >? The erection of toll ate in the Varsiy ? Bull shit. Do you know anything about security??? Shut your smelly mouth .
Yes, most of us are no doubt opposed to the illegal toll but resorting to another lawless action to frustrate them while the matter is before court is certainly not acceptable to some of us.
Besides, this is not a matter ...

Is Mahama sure these people have his goodwill at heart? Incredible!! Did he - Gbevlo -have a hell of a time getting to his girlfriend in Legon this weekend? Unbelievable!!!

Andy-K,
Long time. So where is our President in this stupidity? Before you answer that question, these are the facts.

Gbevlo Lartey know that Ghana is under "Rule of Law"
When the courts are there you don't adopt this jungle type in the night. Next time use your head.
This is a nonsense show of power. His time will definitely come very soon.
Good work. May God help you protect us from the lawlessness of academic dons.
Did the Colonel approach the University authorities first before sending his men in to cause wilful damage to university property?
He is in a better position to dialogue than most of us, and he could not just use his office ...

Rambo style of demolishing reminiscent of life in the jungle. His response makes matters worse. A national security acting under cover of darkness and above the law? Gee Ghana.
By the orders imposed on the national security by the constitution to enforce the laws of Ghana.
Two students of the University have taken the matter to court and it is yet to be decided on.--- thus it seems lartey is in trouble with his nonsensical Rambo methods.
Gbevlo should ENFORCE THE LAW and not listen to anybody. We should not allow those school authorities at the UG to take the law into their own hands and do as they please.
There was no law court order to tear don the rightly created structure. Lartye as always was wrong too.
Can he take the law into his hands and do whatever he please without court Order? What right has he to do what he did? This was the guy who sought to pull down EX-President Kuffour's house.
Why can't he use his us ...

The University must construct the Booth deep in the Campus. The Authorities are the primary authority of the lands and can manage it in ways they deem good for their benefit,
So in Ghana everyone has the power to do anything and it alright. We are in a mess. Just because you are a security chief does not give you outright power do demolish anything. What is the purpose of the court and the rule of ...

A police state in the making. Where in lies the democratic dispensation?
How can the VC disregard advice from the Chief of Staff and the student body. Such recklessness calls for swift action. Bravo ! This is what the people are looking for.
Gbevlo Lartey you are 100% right.UG is in Ghana not Ghana in UG. Nonsense.Please pick up the Chief Security Officer for UG for gross disrespect for Authority. Is the Vice Chancellor higher than the President of Ghana.
As for this one, Mr. Gbevlo Lartey you have done an excellent job by demolishing the illegal toll boot at the U.G., Legon but I don't agree on the manner in which you sent your men to pull down houses at Adjei Kojo.
A law unto himself, who made him judge and jury. This takes us back several years. Mahama get a grip and start acting like a leader
This is the type of lawlessness that has resulted in numerous judgement debts against the government. People in government just act "by heart" and then get the government into legal trouble.
How does this matter fall un ...

G justifies National Security as he thought fit in the heat of the moment.
A wise move
The University has no right to toll their roads and the National Security was unlawful to demolish the "intended" toll-booth. No institution or individual can single-handedly institute tolls even if they built the road with ...

I had wanted Mr Lartey to raise national security concern as a justification of pulling down this toll booth but no. This is makes his action very despicable.

That's not your job, Gbevlo
National Security doing what they are good at. There are a lot of criminal activities going on the country that needs to be tackled, yet they've turned into a demolition company. SHAME!
DID THIS GUY STUDY LAW? MAYBE JUNGLE LAW
U COULD HAVE DONE THIS IN A SENSIBLE WAY NOT THE BARBARIC WAY YOU CHOSE. WE ARE IN MODERN GHANA. NOT GYATOS REGIME
LET'S ALL SUPPORT THIS MAN FOR THE WORK THAN AND STOP READING UNNECESSARY MEANING IN TO IT. FIRE BURN ANYONE WHO TALKS AGAINST THIS ACTION.SHAME ON YOU!
