The fact that the killing was filmed, probably indicates that the attackers did not know the identity of the victim. Who will kill a soldier and film it? Ghanaians are on average people with very low IQ. A soldier entered a community unanounced wearing a civilian cloth. He was taken for an armed robber. He was attacked and he died. In a civilized country a thorough investigation will follow. What was the soldier doing in that community? Why was he alone? Who sent him? Was he doing a job that the Ghana police was incapable of doing? If you have a low IQ, and you think these questions are irrelevant, then encourage the Ghana military to repeat they did (send a lone soldier into a community on edge)

Are we a civilized nation? A soldier has been killed by a mob. What next? Should soldiers go on rampage, rounding people up, beating them and killing some?

Yesterday, there was so much tension at the Burma camp and the military high command had a terrible time trying to calm down tempers of the personnel. In fact such feelings was harbored by personnel across the country from Sunyani to Tamale barracks, Takoradi to Kumasi. I hope it is properly managed in order not to compromise the peace and security of this country.

Anybody knows you hear the name Mahama and you know some sophisticated fishy business or crime is being committed using various institutions as their camouflage cover . You listen to the various videos and you may even hear the gunshots of the captain shooting at the people but no where was he shouting as required to identify himself. Because the people are Fantis or Akans its easier to blame them instead of finding out the truth. The story doesnt add up , anyone who has taken the time to travel around most pats of the Central region will observe even in the middle of the night even white girls , tourists Europeans and other foreigners walking alone or roaming around unaccompanied and nothing ever happens to them . But then again every once in a while we hear of some white-man being killed because of some gold deal. Lynching is wrong but this has elements of self defense and over reactions to it, remember he fired his gun at the people before with courage they disarmed him . It would have been better if they had handed him over to the police but we all know he would have paid a bribe and those who had apprehended him would have been languishing in jail . There can be no peace without the assurance of justice. Npp , Ndc and most of the media are in a hype propaganda mode to blame the innocent people of the town rather than properly look at the suspicious activities of the captain . First he was jogging alone with a gun in plain sight . Rather than identify himself chose to engage in shooting at the residents , a sign of substandard training or criminal intent . He was on duty and an officer but had no other lower ranking soldiers accompanying him , was he deployed there to be on holiday so could go jogging around ? Never trust these security forces especially the army as they are involved in all kinds of criminal activity and always have sophisticated propaganda lies to make it appear they did nothing wrong. A wise man once said its stupidity to know the truth but chose to believe the lie.

@Notification thank you.very much. Ghanaians have very low IQ to think right. These Galamsey soldiers are all over and the media has been talking about it and they keep.denying now the evidence is out here. These soldiers have bullied people at will they are very used to mob justice going out to beat police and civilians alke without.taking them to.court. Now common civilians have shown them the dose of their own medicine.. Cowards who suddenly.become brave in uniform..

Have you thought of the people who were beaten by the police at Ekpu-a fishing community near Half-Assini for demanding answers for a guy who died while in custody?

The military must react very strongly. All those in the video killing captain should also be beaten to death. If this happens to my brother l will retaliate with full strength and damn the consequences.

nobody will give them any strong response , those old solder mentality rule must stop , we are in the era of rule of law, they should allow the law to take it responsibility , it is sad and condolence to his family but all those solders must return to their barracks and allow democratic rule to prevail.
