A badly written story. The aim of the thugs was not to stop illegal mining but to collect tolls. Linking the two, nay, whipping up public sentiment about illegal and Major Mahama's death only serves to obfuscate the illegality of the actions of the thugs and masks murder. Who asked those thugs to mount a barrier to collect tolls in the first place?

YOU ATTACK AND THEY ARM THEMSELVES AGAINST ATTACK: BOKO HARAM IN THE MAKING!YOU CAN NOT FORCE THEM OUT OF BUSINESS SO FAR AS OTHERS WOULD BE GIVEN LICENSE TO GO AND OPERATE ON THEIR OWN LANDS.YOU ARE GOING TO CREATE TENSION BETWEEN THE LICENSED AND THE UNLICENSED. BRING ALL STAKE HOLDERS ON BOARD AND ENSURE PEACE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.THOSE WHO MAY OWN THE LAND MAY NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO OBTAIN THE LICENSE. CREATE AVENUE FOR THEM AND MONITOR THEIR OPERATIONS BY COLLECTING TOLLS TO UPGRADE THEIR SKILL AND RECLAIM THE LAND BY MOVING THEM FROM ONE SITE TO ANOTHER.THEY EARN SOME INCOME TO CATER FOR THEIR FAMILY AND THEY ALL LIVE PEACEFULLY. www.ebnanotech.com

Ghanaians never think things through. The law of consequences is never applied. They just do and hope for favourable outcomes. Soldier gets brutally murdered, suddenly the whole village is under military siege. Innocent or guilty doesn't matter. But dumb GH thinks it's ok. Soldiers, Police, Guards and better of individuals in Ghana always abuse citizens and get away with it. If this Soldier had been a civilian from working class family, Ghanaians would have felt his killing was justified. This Country is a Zoo and will always be a zoo.

The Police should arrest the supposed thugs for prosecution immediately. They are known thugs who have been operating an illegal toll barrier for whatever purposes. IGP loosing grip on the Security situation?

Instead of making a super hero out of the late Capt. Mahama, Ghanaians must engage in serious discourse about the galamsey epidemic.
