Some powerful people are playing tricks on Ghanaians in order to protect themselves. This Delta Force saga is a sham, it is a stage play. I have serious reasons to come to this conclusion and could blame the former NDC Government for exploiting the gullibility of Ghanaians.
These guys have to be arrested. But everything shows that they have strong support in whatever they are doing. Do politicians love their parties more than Ghana?
National security minister must crack the whip on the Police Institution. We only pay them with our tax payers money without knowing what they are to do.Some police officers must be sacked.
you better dissolve these groups before they turn into something else in our country. this is what happens when the youth of the country are lazy and want quick money to survive. politicians, stop using the youth to for your greedy desires
NDC sympathizers do not over joy on this issue, reason up and think about your collapsing party.
we have sown a seed of terrorist
Kofi Boakye was removed from Kumasi so that this guys can do whatever they like. The President is very weak that is why he cannot control this guys. God has reveals NPP because this guys were train to fight if NDC win. Mr President you are expose and disgrace to the world as a patapaa President.
Please, leave the president out of this ***barred word***.But i have a word for those miscreants or criminals perpetrating crime in the name of NPP. NPP unlike NDC is a party that respect the laws of Ghana. Nobody is above the law, not even our president. I want the police to do their work without fear of favor.Ghana is a peaceful country and we are not going to sit and watch few people to bring the name of our beloved Ghana into disrepute. No way.So far the minister has done well. The youth leader sammy Awuku has spoken well. The president should condemn the actions of the delta force or whatever they call them. This is insane. NPP, remember Ghanaians are watching the situation closely.We do not want to see NDC coming back to steal our money anymore so NPP wake up. A word to a wise they say is enough.
Leave them alone. They are working for the president. Job for the boys who were trained by him, Kennedy Agyapong and the NPP. God have mercy on Ghana. We shall reap what we sow.
