This whole incident should be investigated thoroughly.
Student mobs could be intimidating and history could teach you a few mischiefs they have caused.
The police mind there own business if everyone else does!

This Napo guy really does not deserve to be a minister,he is too emotional,if we are not careful this guy will sack everyone in the country,he is behaving like a buga buga man,no skills,he lacks diplomatic skills.
This is an incident that happened as a result of lawlessness on the part of students resulting in police using excessive force which needs investigation and corrective measures put in place and instead of the minister working with other relevant authorities he quickly jumped to conclusion asking that some in the police service be sacked,even if they are responsible is that the way they sack people,is that the first time such a thing happened in the country,please, Napo slow down,you are rushing too much,ministers don't talk like that,that is not the way we sack people,these are professionals,we need them.

Napo needs tutorials, he has no skills to be a minister,he is not fit for the job,just within hours two blunders,sack,sack,sack is the only language he knows, he belongs to the jungle.

Mr President,please call this Napo guy yo talk to him that the language he is using is not diplomatic,as a minister he should be the last to be asking for head of people,that is unprofessional and disgrace to the governmemt,even military governments are not doing that.

If you read the story,this Napo guy already has personal hatred for the police officers,it is not about this issue alone,I'm surprised as a minister he will say such a thing about a police commander to the extend of saying they should transfer them from the region,I'm shocked,because he is from the region they should sack the police officers from his region to where they come from,where they can brutalize people, that is the language coming from a minister who supposed to be a minister for all Ghanaians but not a minister for only Ashanti region, when the students are also from all over the country.
He didn't even think both students and police are wrong,he just decided to destroy the police officer for no reason,just because of his name that of the PRO too because of his name,very sad for Ghana.

It is sad for the students to have behaved like that but the police went too far as many of them could have died because of excessive force. The police also became too angry to the extend that they had to put electricity out and rush to the girls dormitory to 'arrest' them. What a shame of police! Ghana police buga-buga attitude is not of today and must stop. The minister is wrong by calling for the dismissal of the police officers involved rather there has to be an investigation and based on the outcome, the IGP not the minister, will act on it.

How do you as an individual arrived at this conclusion and therefore calling for these two professionals to be sacked. Is it because it involves "Ashanti's". He should remember that POWER is not permanent.

why is napo asking somebody to sack those irresponsible commanders who authorised the brutality?

you see these are the reasons why Ghana police and some public officers or officials or workers are not learning from the consequence of their , corruptions and irresponsibilities , because if he is catch , the consequence is just a transfer , which supposed not to be the case in this modern day policing, or under rule of law

take them to court to defend the degree of their actions, if the have a good reasons by law to brutalized the students , then u transfer them for their own safety .

if their actions were unacceptable by law and their ethics then you dismissed them from the service with penalties to be paid.
you dont use your own powers or influence to determine somebodies fate in a country of rule of law.
we need as a country for once make the law under rule of law works

Dr. Opoku Prempeh should know that Ghana is not for him. How can you command that a Police man be tranferred on the basis of a mere allegation without investigation to establish whether He is Culpable. By the way where should He be transferred to? If He is unprofessional in the way He handles issues of rioting and demonstration. Then its a question of internal inquiry and appropriate sanctions, not necessarily transfer. Where or which region should He be transferred to? Volta Region?

The honorable Minister has done very well. The PRO denied that the police never went to Kumasi Technical Institute (KTI) campus and their dormitories. He also denied the firing of rubber bullets and tear gas on the students. A peace maker telling a very big LIE like that needs to be sacked before any investigation be conducted.Some of the police men and civilians who were around condemned the act. Lies cannot used to build a nation. A lie cannot be used to make peace. It is more dangerous for a peace maker like Police PRO to lie before these students who witnessed how the police brutalised the students. What lessons do you want them to learn from this? The Minister has indeed done very well. He has really make things clear in the minds of these young ones.They were confused upon hearing that the PRO has denied the presence of police on KTI campus.

IS THERE ANY CREDIBILITY LEFT IN THE NDC
NDC HAS MILKED GHANA DRY: NDC guys are crooks. The other time Dr Apaak, a presidential staffer under Mahama, came out to claim that an amount of $5.9M was rather the cost of the new Veep Mansion. Then NDC Deputy Minority leader, James Klutse Avedzi, also said the amount is $5.0M. Now the NDC General Secretary is saying the amount is $3.5M. It is only the NPP that has remained consistent with $13.9 so far. It appears the NDC is not saying the truth. They are doing this to defend Thief Mahama at all cost. However, pressure mounted on the NDC has forced Allotey Jacobs, the NDC chairman for Central Region to admit guilt. He stated on Peace Fm that the fresh document from Consar on the cost of the project brings finality to the controversy surrounding the cost, adding that contesting the cost is impossible.“With what has come from Consar Limited, it is difficult to defend this issue. They are on the job and what they have put out settles the controversy surrounding the cost of the project. If Consar themselves have put out this information, then what do I have to say…nothing.” IT IS ONLY THIEVES WHO WILL ALWAYS DEFEND THEIR FELLOW THIEF AT THE PERIL OF THEIR LIVES.

Those criticising the minister are all those NDC sympathizers who don't want to see the NPP government excels in their undertakings as they are the only reliable party who can rescue the nation from its sinking state and place on the pedestal of hope.we are the children of the Abbeys we have to rise up against all those nonsensical utterances and condemnation from these NDC thugs if we are to realize the goals set up the NPP and enjoy all what God has endowed to mother Ghana so we could one day stand with our chests out and say boldly that I am a Ghanaian!

You are a disgrace as educational minister. You just came into power and look at the words that come from your mouth.
This swat commander is doing a very good job and you are telling the IGP to sack or transfer them.
In Police force there are policies and people should obey and not disrespect them.

The students behaved badly and disrespected the police and instead of you saying something sensible you are rather being stupid.

I pray the IGP should not bring politics into this and rather go by the rules of the police force.

Let's all stand against this minister and praise the police personnel especially the swat commander Supretendant Christopher klomegah who is doing his best in kumasi though I don't know him but heard alot Abt his gd works, professionalism and an excellent Police officer.
