Musician and political activist, Kwame A-Plus chided the heavy military deployment by the Ghana Armed Forces to Dome Faase after some two military personnel were brutalised over land dispute in the area on Tuesday, August 26.
Albeit condemning the incident, A Plus stated that the security apparatus in the country seem to have lost focus in executing their duties.
According to him, the security services failed to apprehend political hoodlums who threatened other security men in uniform with guns during the voters registration exercise but were able to terrorize a community filled with women and children.
“In this country nobody wants to speak the truth. I condemn the assault on the military officers. It was the same way Major Maxwell Mahama was lynched so it is very wrong and I condemn it.
“For the soldiers who went to the village causing the residents to run out of town out of fear, you haven’t done anything worthy. Ghana Police, Ghana Military you are disgraceful. The remaining officers who are in good standing need to start redeeming the image of the military and the police,” he lashed out in a live video on Facebook.
He added, “you were there during the recent registration exercise when a civilian pointed a gun at police and military officers and the stood there without doing anything. It is not even up to a month. Ghana Army, Ghana Police you were in this country when a civilian pointed a gun at your officers. You couldn’t do anything about it just because the person is a party foot soldier; you were scared of him. Now you hear some villagers have beaten up your people and you go beating them up causing the villagers to run away.”
He further challenged the police and military to rather go after political vigilantes, saying “Ghana Army and Ghana Police if you have power in this country, party foot soldiers are the ones you should be attacking because they break (and) they take the law into their own hands and they misbehave. It is not only the NPP. When NDC is in power, it is the same thing…You have been disgraced and if nobody is going to say it I will say it. Because there are some good ones in the military who don’t like the way things are going.”
