The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Director of communications, Richard Ahiaggbah, has slammed the military for the cruel treatment of some citizens in Ashaiman after a soldier was apparently murdered nearby.
Even though Mr. Ahiagbah called the alleged assassination of the soldier vulgar, insisting that it did not give the military the right to impose its own laws.
“We must condemn the conduct of some military personnel circulating on social media, where they are brutalizing residents of Ashaiman for the crude murder of a soldier.
“Two wrongs don’t make a right. We are a country of laws; let’s allow the laws to work,” he tweeted on Tuesday, March 7.
Adding his take on the issue, Dr. Adam Bonaa, a security analyst, added that instead of enforcing the law themselves, the military should have given the police the opportunity to look into how one of them was supposedly killed.
Dr. Bonaa stated that it was wrong for the military to abuse civilians.
On March 7, the Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, Ernest Norgbey earlier disclosed that after a soldier was murdered nearby on March 6, military officers brutally entered the homes of some people in Ashaiman.
“They can be peeved because one of their own is gone but brutalizing people is not the solution to this problem” he said.
