President Nana Addo has assured citizens of their safety after recent daylight armed robbery rampage in the country.
He was emphatic that the spate of armed robbery in the country is totally “unacceptable” and warned that miscreants will not terrorize the peace of the country.
“I want to make this clear: no miscreant will have the space to terrorize citizens and generate a sense of insecurity in our country,” Nana Akufo-Addo said at the 61st Independence Day anniversary celebration at the Independence Square in Accra on Tuesday, 6 March 2018.
According to him, the police “have the primary responsibility of maintaining peace and keeping law and order in our society, and, in exceptional cases, with the backing of the armed forces. The government is doing, and will do whatever it takes to enable the police discharge their duties effectively. We are providing the means for them to modernise their equipment and learn modern methods of policing, and the numbers will be rapidly increased to match our growing population, and sophistication and audacity of the criminals.”
“…We should not forget that the police need the help and support of the community to be able to do their work. We dare not lose our reputation as a haven of peace and security. I urge you all to join in making sure there is no hiding place in our midst for those who would disturb our peace. For my part, I will do whatever is necessary, within the confines of the constitution and the laws of the land, to ensure the peace of our country.”
Nana Akufo-Addo’s comment comes in the wake of several armed robberies and murders in the last few days in various parts of the country.
It will be recalled that a 44-year-old mother-of-three was stabbed to death by armed men in Obuasi in the Ashanti Region on Wednesday, 28 February 2018 and her handbag stolen by the robbers.
A Lebanese businessman was also shot and killed by robbers after he had withdrawn GHS200,000 from the bank on the same Wednesday at Tema. The robbers bolted with the money.

the youth of today's generation are very weak minded that they lack insight into realities, their minded is clouded with Laliga,hip pop, shata wale, and the likes. think a little and stop this your Bull - S--H--I--T. these robbery cases are politically motivated and that's why the president said that No "person without moral scruples(miscreant)" would have the space to terrorize citizens. So where from the insult? or you don't understand simple grammar? wise up guys.

@ THIS SUB HUMAN CALLING HIMSELF AGAINST IS CONSUMED WITH HATRED AND INFERIORITY COMPLEX TO THE EXTEND THAT HE HAS LOST THE CAPACITY TO THINK IF EVEN HE HAD ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE. BY THE LOGIC OF THIS MORON, THERE WERE NO ARMED ROBBERIES, KILLINGS OF CIVILIANS AND THE SECURITY PERSONNEL UNDER THE L@@TING ADMINISTRATION OF WHICH HE IS UNDOUBTEDLY PART OF. ON THIS PLATFORM SENSIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE REQUIRED NOT PURE NUNSENCE. I CAN ONLY GUESS WHERE YOU ARE FROM BUT THE PLAIN FACT IS YOU CANNOT WISH TO BE AS GOOD AS US,PERIOD SO YOUR ***barred word*** AND DEEP SEATED HATRED FOR SOME PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY BETTER THAN YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOU MORE FUULL. KW*SIA BI BA.
Terrorism is already going on and the liar is there would be no space for miscreants. A labanese had already been killed, a woman in obuasi had already been killed and of course, policemen military men had been killed so the space is already wide for miscreants to operate in. Not forgetting the violence by NPP terrorists groups. The problem with nana addo is that he smokes too much weed so he talks by hearts.
