This is exactly what breeds these evil acts amongst certain elements of our citizens.......What is good for the goose, is also good for the gander!
We have now seen how swift the police can react to gather evidence and arrest the culprits of Captain Mahama's death. Or rather arrest and gather evidence............
So, my question is why not same with the Delta Forces culprits? Equally as evil, for attacking our judiciary.....MOB JUSTICE!!!
I have always said this and will continue to say it.......the two USELESS parties in NDC and NPP are to be blamed for everything evil, happening in our country today.
The level of lawlessness and disorder is unbelievable. When you politicize law and order in any society, what then prevails is mob justice!!!
When you allow hoodlums who insult and physically attack our judiciary without any punishment, mob justice prevails.
Same as when you allow corruption and thieves with 'pens' rob our nation of its taxpayers money and justice is not seen to be done, mob justice prevails.....
OUR police should step up to the plate and deal with all kinds of MOB JUSTICE, NOW and stop the preaching!!!!.
GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

The lynching is a symptom of a dangerously weak internal security.When foreigners feel secured enough to sell weapons openly and citizens live under the constant threat and fear of armed robbers what do you expect?

NONSENSE! HOW COULD A WHOLE ARMY COMMANDER NEGLECT HIS SECURITY IN SUCH A REMOTE PART IN GHANA, WHERE ARMED ROBBERS ARE VERY FREQUENT. ? HOW COULD THIS COMMANDER JOG ALONE WITHOUT ANY ESCORT NOT EVEN WITH A WALKIE-TALKIE? PUTTING HIS SECURITY AT THE MERCY OF INCERTITUDE? I BLAME HIM AS A SOLDIER. THEREFORE IT IS SOMEWHERE WRONG TO BLAME GHANAIANS FOR HIS DEATH OF WHICH HE IS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE. BLAME NDC AND MAHAMA FOR DOING NOTHING TO BANNISH THE LYNCHING OF INDIVIDUALS DESPITE THEIR 8 YEARS OF POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION. BLAME JJ RAWLINGS FOR THE LAWLESSNESS INFUSED IN OUR SOCIETY SINCE HIS STUPID COUP FOR HIS OWN EMANCIPATION.

Many civilians have suffered senseless killing from the army too. Because they are soldiers, nobody does anything to punish them and comfort civilians family. A case in point was a senseless killing of a nursing mother at Wamfie at Dormaa Traditional area, who was queuing to buy a gallon of Kerosene. The soldier killed that mother who had six weeks old baby for nothing. The army showed nothing that they cared.
All Ghanaians should know that any senseless killing is not accepted at any level. She is not your mother, sister or aunt, so you don't feel anything at all. Caesar said, "the evils that man do live after them."
I don't know captain Maxwell Mahama, but when I saw his picture on Ghanaweb, I kind of having love for this innocent young captain who has everything ahead of him. It is time for us as a nation to be civilized. JJ Rawlings is raising his voice in captain Maxwell Mahama's senseless murder. JJ Rawlings must know, if Ghana is suffering this type of killings, he started it. JJ Rawlings, in the name of revolution, has killed so many innocent civilians. Look at what this senseless murderer, Rawlings has done to Ghanaian society. Rawlings should know he is the beginner of all negatives we have in Ghana now. Ghana was not like that.
Soldiers should not kill innocent civilians with impunity as it happens all over Africa. We are each other's brother and sister. My condolence to captain Maxwell Hahama's family.Their family can be special advocate for senseless killing in our society.I don't know why captain was sent to Denkyira villages. However, he deserves any honor our nation can give him. He did not deserve die in this way.
During Rawlings satanic revolution, a soldier killed a nursing mother senselessly. A town in Dormaa East District, a nursing mother was in a queue to buy a gallon of kerosene, and she was shot by a soldier. This woman had six month old baby. She died and left her six month baby behind.
When the soldiers realized the woman was dead, they whisked into their car and sped away.During the funeral, no representative from the army came. Up to now, nobody said a word to that deceased mother's family a child she left behind.
I don't condoned what the Denkyira boys did to captain Maxwell Mahama. I am drawing attention to Ghanaians that the military does worse in killing innocent people than any other group. The army knows the killing I am talking about. It happened at Wamfie in Dormaa Traditional area. That woman happened to be my father's brother wife.Did the government set up scholarship fund for the six year old baby? No! Everyone love his her son.The media should give the same attention to any senseless killing by the military.I know some fools, whose brains are rotten will attack me when even they have not read my post. Let us all return to civility.
Whatever goes around comes around.

The days of the nails are over. Some years ago, we used to hear and even witness both innocent and guilty people having six inch nails planted in their heads. They are left to die very painfully.

Captain Maxwell Mahama died a gruesome, horrific,uncivilised death at the hands of people who do not know how to properly use their brains and every education of our people on the sanctity of life should be mounted by the state and other public/private organisations like the schools, churches, chiefs,parents, community leaders etc. However, there must be a thorough investigative journalistic piece on that mining activity in the township and the vested interests flushed out for all of us to know. The minister of mines after his tour of Ashanti region indicated that some of the illegal mining sites were being protected by soldiers from our armed forces without any written down protocol from his ministry. His remark was rebuked by the deputy defence minster who said no soldiers were protecting illegal galamsayers. There is something very fishy going on here and if not looked into, the young soldier who was sent into an area by his superiors to do work supposedly on behalf of mother Ghana, would have died in vain. It looks like the armed forces of Ghana are being used to protect private mining interests. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MINING IS GOING ON IN FOREST RESERVES AND THEY ARE DEGRADING THE ECOSYSTEM - rivers, and streams included.

I hope the army which is guilty of dishing out instant justices to civilians will take note of the reaction of ghanaians to Captain Mahama's death and stop such barbaric acts fortwith.

It happened to my brother.
In August 2007, my brother, a second year student (first class) of the physics department of KNUST left our town with my father to receive medical treatment for a high fever related condition in Accra before school starts in a week's time. They arrived in Accra late hoping to visit the hospital the next morning. Late at night my brother sneaked out and was no where to be found the next morning. My brother's lifeless body was found in three days time battered heavily for whatever sins, who knows? May his soul rest in perfect peace. Till date the corrupt police institutions has done nothing about it because their palms have not been greased. Now the case is a COLD ONE. Had the whole university descended to the area where his body was found just like the soldiers in the case of captain Mahama, maybe the outcome would have been different. Ghana had been brought on it's knees by corrupt politicians corrupting every institution in our country. It's a shame! Police in Japan will investigate and find the murderer of even a day old baby and the Judiciary will punish him/her accordingly. Shame on politicians who have succeeded to make corruption so pervasive in every sphere of our society.
