The Commander of the District Police Unit, Parliament House, DSP Fii Ochil, is calling for a ban to be placed on the screening of the movie, Passion of the Christ which depicted how Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world according to Christian Faith was killed.
According to him, the movie is a great influence for mob injustice and said Jesus Christ died as a result of mob action hence the need to put a stop to its viewing by the public.
In conversation about the recent killing of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama as a result of mob injustice, DSP Ochil who investigated a similar incident in the Brong Ahafo region some ten (10) years ago expressed worry about the fallen moral fiber of society.
He advocated public discourse to focus on how to rebuild the broken moral values of society which is causing a lot of harm rather than solely focusing attention on police actions and inactions to control crime.
He also called for decency in public commentary about the subject matter whiles urging for public sensitization on mob actions.
DSP Ochil believes there is the need for people with knowledge in Psychology to discuss the subject of mob actions for the understanding of the populace.
The Police Commander admitted the security services have major roles to play but noted the fight cannot be won if society fails to right the wrongs as a result of lost values.
He urged the public to remain calm and avoid exerting undue pressure to enable the police to do a thorough work in order to bring the perpetrators of the inhumane act against the late Army Major to justice.
DSP Ochil also encouraged the public to volunteer information to help the police unravel the truth no matter how long it takes because the wheels of justice grinds slowly but at the end of the day, Justice would be delivered.
In 2017, DSP Ochil was involved in investigating a similar case when one Anthony Yeboah, the then Goaso Government Hospital Administrator and Presiding member for Asunafo was killed through a mob action in his car on Easter Sunday April, 2007 in a village called Kufour Camp, near Sunyani.

What absolute rubbish - a clear display of his ignorance. Jesus was not killed as a result of mob action - he was executed by the Roman state hence his crucufiction on the cross. Therefore, a banning of the movie will do no more to curb mob justice than the moronic and twisted suggestion that a movie potraying the injustice of killing an innocent man is contributing towards a rise in the events of instant justice. What an utterly daft and ***barred word*** suggestion.
kwashiiia sem
This police officer is out of other . So when we to a film of the June 4 ,1979 and how Ex President JJ Rawlings was snatched from military prison ready firing squad and taken to GBC TV broadcasting house to announce the ARMED FORCES REVOLUTIONARY COUNCIL what would his or her response to the showing of those films . INTERESTING THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN KWAME NKRUMAH GHANA
This is a very flawed reasoning from an officer of that calibre. A very m o r o n i c assertion that belongs definitely to the bin. Has he arrested culprits who have been motivated by this movie? Shameful
some of these men in power paaaa!!!, sometimes l ask myself many questions. What has this movie got to do with Ghanaians unreason's?
this man need Jesus Christ as his Savior before he gets lost to hell
Look at the son of the de_vil talking as a police officer.
Whats wrong with this man? Was Jesus tortured and killed by the mob or an order was given to the soldiers from above to execute. Jesus's death has nothing to do with mob injustice pls.
anti christ policeman!!!!!!
Don't use this as an opportunity to expose ur anti Christ motives Mr police man.Next time be mindful of what u say,by the way r u suggesting that Chinese n action packed movies should be banned?Anyway, We will continue to spread the message of the suffering of Christ.
