The story the police are presenting here doesn't add up.An officer alone in an area so dangerous they had to call the army ? Tried to identify himself but did not succeed so short at them and one person ended up with a bullet in his leg . This is a shoddy investigation meant to cover the truth that he was there to cut a deal with criminals and they thought it was cheaper for them to kill him. We all know that town is a stronghold of NDC for decades so they not know who he was or not have their links to the army is bullshit . 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 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. On this forum we notice all the lying hypocrites who have come out to condemn the town but fail to notice the crimes committed like corruption , nepotism , incompetence etc. A sin is a sin and a crime a crime , why turn a blind eye to corruption and yet talk shit about one lynch. Police stations are being burned to the ground and now most security agency personnel are scared and shitting in their pants because soon the people will arise. 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.

Your so called mob culture is a result of the growing army of unemployed youth. If these youth have work to go to they would not have time for barbaric activities. The bible says the devil gives the idle hands something to do.
Mr Jantuah you're right we had CPP Veranda Boys and UP Action Troopers. These groups committed atrocious crimes. However, Dr Kwame Nkrumah in his wisdom asked himself "what are we going to do with these drunkards, thieves and murderers?". His answer was to set up Workers Brigade to absorb these people into gainful employment.
They were involved in farming. they sell their produce and proceeds were used to pay their salaries with little subsidy from the government. Workers were trained and given military discipline. The mob culture vanished. However, it re-appeared when Dr Nkrumah was overthrew in a military coup and the Workers Brigade was abolished.
Let's revisit our past to take some lessons for the future.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.(+233547122212)

We are waltzing with the truth. Clearly, it doesn't end well and until we confront the truth, even in the murder of the innocent young soldier, we are not going anywhere.
We must confront the demons militating against our development and progress in truth, and exact the right measures to ensure the socioeconomic growth and development of this country.

It is not cultural, if by "cultural", Jantuah means assigning the impulse to particular tribes or nationalities. Ghana has weak governmental institutions. Our politicians keep it that way. All human beings can become parts of mobs, and sometimes before they even realize that they are. That's why if you study psychology, there is a course which deals with "mob psychology". All human beings no matter where they are in the world can succumb to the mob mentality. The combination of mob psychology and lack of regard for state institutions is combustible indeed. Savagery and barbarism I'd in all of our genes. We just show it more readily because large numbers of us are still illiterate and ignorant. We believe in witches and wizards and bad omens! smh!

These killings have been going on for ages without reportage. Social media and cheap mobile phones and sensible brave citizens are helping to share light on this very dark culture. Gruesome

Kumasi is a place notorious for mob action and instant justice. In the neighbourhoods, if someone wants vengeance, a mere shout of Awioo on you, will see the end of you. Some perpetrators use car tyres to burn their victim similar to what happened to Captain Mahama in Denkyira Boase. This has been the practice for many years before Kwame Nkrumah. Ghana Police are aware of the practice in many cities and towns in Ghana. The deceased is always assumed to be a thief or armed robber,
