    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?

  • Kwame 11 years ago

    No, brutha, it is the University Authorities who are behaving as if they are a law on their own. Educated fools!

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 11 years ago

    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 ...

    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.

  • makamaka 11 years ago

    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.

  • Whatever 11 years ago

    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.

  • makamaka 11 years ago

    There was no law court order to tear don the rightly created structure. Lartye as always was wrong too.

  • makamaka 11 years ago

    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.

    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.

  • Obaa Grace 11 years ago

    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.
