From what the CDS is saying, it means the military high command sanctioned the protection of illegal miners in a prohibited forest reserve and, once the military has sanctioned such activity, it makes the whole galamsey operation in the forest reserve legal. My goodness, what a stupid CDS. This can only happen in Ghana where university graduates are useless. I suspect the cDS is a university graduate. That is why he is that stupid.

One hand, the new NPP government of Nana Addo is making ten-day wonders by fighting illegal mining while on the other hand, his military appointees from the minister of Defense and now his CDS is lying and covering for the same illegality that they make all kinds of noise that they're fighting.

The minister of lands and mineral resources him self red-handedly arrested three Russian illegal miners in the bush way after the dead-line to stop all illegality with the supports of military personnel and still the military could NOT tell us who the hell had sent these men there to protect criminals.

These kinds of lies and cover up to make crooked leaders look good in the eyes of Ghanaians who are dead tied of these morally bankrupt so-called leaders who had refused to run this country well was the reasons why no one any longer have confidence in them, and that lack of confidence was what had propelled the towns people to have taken the laws into their own hands as victims of chained armed robbery of which the police in the area lacked the zeal to curb.

What sort of operations captain Maxwell Mahama and his men were doing in Denkyira villages. They have been there a while and the Chinese illegal miners keep on digging our lands. If these soldiers were not protecting NDC Chinese whores, then what are they doing over there?

Our leaders think the rest of Ghanaians apart from them are kids. African government must begin to tell it as it is like the western democracies do. Telling the truth help to solve a whole lot problems.

Can the army tell Ghanaians how many Chinese illegal miners has our army stopped since captain Maxwell Mahama in the blessed memory and his men went there?

Not everybody will enter into politics or public arena, but those who choose not to involve themselves in politics are more smarter. Be truthful with the public. The villagers know more than you.

Mining in a forest reserve is illegal by itself regardless of size of the mining company doing it Soldiers have no business protecting and enterprise that destroys protected forest.The killing was senseless but the army is walking and chewing gum at the same time.They need to show us pictures of the minining operation they have been protecting all this while in the forest. Addionally I don't understand why an officer should be jogging with a pistol dangling from his hip. That alone is dangerous and called an unnecessary attention to the officer. Sad indeed. I don't see soldiers jogging with a weapon in the US. There should be a policy against this. May he rests in piece.

Did the minister not go to plead with the NPP foolsoldiers at their support base to have patience since their party is not against them and that they shouldn't demonstrate or threaten to go back to their mining sites?

You haven't been following the news.

Illegal miners Genuine miners etc have paid for licences.

From what has come out in the open, Mining licences were issued legally to big mining companies who in turn sold their concessions to smaller gold prospectors including the Chinese and some Ghanaians etc for between $100,000 and £1m per concession and made colossal profits.
Now that the effects of such greed is surfacing, like destruction of the environment, rivers etc and killings, the chickens have now come to roost and you and I are feeling the effects of such ill-thought generosity.

Get that in your head.
The people have just been told, anyone they do not recognize is "okronfuor"; illiterate as they are, with a lot of activity going on around them, no jobs, no food except destruction that is how they react to it.

We do not know what it entails but they definitely would have put up a much more comprehensive & detailed protocol for its security personnel and I ask these questions in good faith.

Now, here we are, in the wake of a brutal murder of an obedient service personnel and no-one is telling the public the truth.
Of course the late Capt Mahama could not question the details of his deployment, he obeyed, as he should.

This is what Ghana has become. People in government use their position to fleece the country and populace.why on earth should soldiers who are suppose to be in the barracks be deployed to a place where there is no conflict,no military base or training area.The CDC should tell Ghanaians why the soldiers were in Denkyira Oboase. It is unfortunate that human life should be used to let the world see the nefarious activities of the people in high positions in Ghana.The army chief is lying because he knows the whole operations knows is wrong using the tax payers money to pay soldiers to protect foreigners ruining our ecosystem taking the profits away to their countries .

Statements making rounds that the military personnel were at Denkyirah -Obuoasi protecting illegal miners annoying.Because the government togther with its party media and religious men were heard all over for fighting galamsey than ever in the previous administration. So how come when government is fighting illegal mining,sodier were deployed to the area to protect illegal miners?,or are they saying that these military personnel went to the area with their own authority to protect illegal miners? Government must come clean here ,because it appears government is fighting galamsey but that is not the real situation on the ground, the truth is Maxwell was targetted and killed.

You see Abdulae this is exactly how the crooks in high places wants you to think.Maxwell is dead and its very painful. Look I have worked with G4S in 2011. Newmint was sourcing security services from G4S and that is how all legit businesses in the mining field be doing but no way. Why because the crooks wants to besides taking the gold for free and destroying the environment were busily screwing us from behind with us paying for their security too as well. So you see maxwell was not targeted his death was something of "being at the place in a wrong time". He was caught up in the crossfire. How can nobody know a commander of a whole platoon? Ask yourself this question afterwards ask youraelf this how come a platoon for 3solid weeks not be able to diguise themselves well enough to enter the forest and apprehend and stop the filth happening there? Look we are seeing a case where a few fuckers would take over the reins of this country only to use the intitutions of the state to rob from the state and the people.go behind the burma camp. One mans family has taken all that slice of lad purposed for the military and now have built mega mansions on them. What else where that person would have been guned down straight away. But you see we find those people whose properties are being pillage very cool headed and as a result people are robbing. And an ex president would say he suffered an incumbent disadvantage. Absolute trash. That man, this CDS is filled with lies and its people like this that should be investigated

Someone should please tell us what the military were there for. Now Ghanaians are in a limbo. Were the soldiers protecting someone or not and if not why were they there? Instead of the media digging into such issues they rather sit back and wait for official releases which are so confusing and perhaps devoid of the truth. What happened to investigative journalism?

Nothing short of this will pacify the land , heal this broken nation and sent a clear message to this wicked generation of thugs. After all arrest have been made by the military, the field engineers regiment should move in with Bull Dozers and wipe out that town called Denkyira Oboasi. All resident must leave and settle elsewhere at no cost to government. The military should then build a military base there permanently and call it FORT MAHAMA. Give the gallant soldier a state burial and burry him at Oboasi in the heart of the new military base. All accused persons when found guilty should be made to face the death penalty. The executions must take place at Denkyira Oboasi.I seriously recommend the military police be very instrumental in every aspect of this investigation.

It is not the best for the Captain to have been lynched;we shall continue to condemn this act of instant justice. The Police have a lot of work to do. Were the residents not aware of the presence of the military in the area? So why wouldn't the perpetrators listen to him when he told them that he was a soldier and not an armed robbery? Perhaps, the killing was planned for one or two reasons. For instance, like the DCE is saying that he was there to protect galamseyers. Another reason could be that the Captain was being seduced by the wife of one of the boys so they ganged up to do this mischief. The Police should not rule out any possibility. They should get to the roots and possibly do away with this kind of criminal act from the society.

These inferiors of students who end up as PRO s tend to think they r dealing with infants and people who simply cannot think. Well they convey info from superiors who think they know more than the populace... Sometimes dey think force and violence r d weapons they have exclusive rights to which is contrary to my beliefs... And I am excellent thinker. I think candour and fairness are the pillars of any soceity with good future and NOTHING can replace these. Comb through history and you will come to this intelligence. Soldiers receive d training and guns they wield from d civillians you disrespect. They created the jobs you willingly signed up for.
I say this bcos in this sad case of my brother Capt Mahama every citizen is tending to approach this case with their hearts rather than their minds. Some think d millitary is more violent than d populace n so in a situation like this d millitary can b lawless as well. What abt d recent killing of a police escot by another police patrol team? Must police 1 brutalise police 2? Lol! Permit my tricks. That is why a sensible investigation must be allowed and root causes to this WHOLE COMEDY OF ERRORS TACKLED!! The millitary being allowed to conduct this uncivilised investigation through brutality makes the process biased and for me no meaningful solution could b arrived at.
The CDS will b doing us a whole lot of good by telling us WHAT THE SOLDIERS WERE THERE FOR rather than the contrary. Sick! What made you risk this life? Somehow u want to clandestinely extricate urselves from this loss with this lopsided communications.
Tell me what you will do if you are a responsible assemblyman with prior experience of brutal robberies in your area and residents suddenly called on you at dawn to alert you of the presence of gun-wielding suspect who has lost his way? WHAT WILL YOU DO? TELL ME...
Yet people are blaming with saddened hearts in a way that will enbolden potential robbers and the police who failed to protect the village against robberies and CDS with UNCLEAR reasons for the soldier deployment left gaping? COMMON SENSE.. NOT EMOTION! Detachment discipline could be called into question too bcos how could CAPO stray far from team without any swift communication system and support from team members, even in the face of this situation of pandemonium and wantom shooting? Where were members of his team? Did he violate team instructions or well thought-out norms were non-existent? Look! A soldier on duty is always a TARGET to some kind of enemy in one form or the other. Even a snake is a threat. So dont drop your guard on duty. We see these in films many a time. All these r being relegated and a poor village trying to protect itself albeit unlawfully yet circumstancially r being traumatised, both perpetuators n innocent! The underpinning reasons which involves systemic failure is being relegated unattended! WRONG PATH!!

Somebody is not telling the truth. Was Upper Denkyira declared a war zone?
Should local authority not be made aware of military presence?

Capt mahama's going there is NOT the first time an officer has led troops/a platoon of soldiers to that operation area.
He relieved another officer only 3 weeks ago.
The previous DCE has reported that he knew about the presence of the soldiers.
Since when did this DCE get approved?
The DCE didn't say he didn't know about the troops there.His claim is that they are protecting chinese galamsey operatives.
That explains the reason why they took this action after Akufo Addo & j p amewu issued their silly directive about mining depriving suddenly many people from their livelihood without engaging them
These are thousands who have no immediate alternative to live

You see that is what the whole problem is when one person is signing off are there no processes to bring the new one in? This is the case, now the socalled people mistook you for a thief and anyreason why they should not? Because there has been no familiarization so no one knows him. If he was introduced atleast one or two peolle would have known him. But you see they have been deploying this tactic of forcing themselves on people and make them cower with guns in hand and so have thought to do this with noones concert. Why vecause they no what they are doing over there.

It very unfortunate comment from the DCE, but I believe DCE may be telling the truth that he is not aware of the presence of the Military in his jurisdiction. At time the Military arrive in some areas for some operations without informing the civil authorities.I don't know what we gain as a country if we decide not to cooperate and share information on such operations.

Folks i have been listening to various commentary surrounding capt Mahama dead from the various stakeholders. Eventhough very very sad indeed i can deduce a lot from commentary.. 1. The capt went on jogging with civilian wear with a pistol. Is it allowed in the Military? 2. The military high command has not been able to as at now give any consistent reason for the detachment mission in the district of upper denkyira west. Are dey hiding something? 3. The head of the district security council, dce, who is a native of the district, born , bred and live in the district said the military is there to protect an illegality n was asked to shut up. Why? 4. The community of Denkyira Obuasi where capt Mahama met his untimely dead witnessed robbery on sunday, but was there no security follow up by the police n military even though they all to protect life n property. If so can we fault them in entirety for their actions? 4. Folks what i can really say on the dead of Capt. Mahama is that he is a victim of circumstance n may his soul rest in perfect peace.

And you still have not said what the hell the Army is doing down there.

What kind of 'sanctioned operation'is going on there?
Are you protecting Abrofo galamsayers or are you not?

I am watching with an eagle's eye and listening with a rabbit ears, how the government of Ghana would handle the killing of Captain Mahama. This is a strong evidence indicating the government MUST get a grip on law and order in the nation. There must be no soft touch in this case, the killers must bear the full weight of the law of the land, if there's any. A nation without the respect for law and order is failed state. No excuses justifies killing an officer of the law!
