Yesterday 14th March will go down as one of the dark days in Ghana and for the Judicial Service as well. The three suspected killers of Nasiwu who was a member of the NDC vigilante task force were sent to court in Asokwa municipality. The family and some NDC sympathisers threatened the judge not to go on with proceedings because they suspect their lawyer was coming over to apply for their bail, so the judge sensing danger ordered the police to arrest those causing chaos. However, due to the high tensions the police couldn't act on the presiding judge's order.
Evans Amankwaa, lawyer for the three suspects from the HAWKS was also threatened with a knife and his vehicle was destroyed. Other staff of the court run for cover, the family of the late Wasiu and NDC sympathisers were on the rampage at the court premises, their main agenda was to deny the suspects from being granted bail.
We are all concerned about that sad incidence and my condolences to the bereaved family but that Rambo style of seeking Justice is not the way to go, let all uphold and defend our constitution.
I will once again urge our ex President Mahama to retract his ' *boot for boot* ' comment, since that comment still hangs around his NDC supporters. This can easily result in violence whenever there is a misunderstanding because his words carry weight among the youth of the NDC party.
Never again should we encourage any misguided comment from any political figure for their personal gains. I am equally advising the Youth to value their lives and I thank the Vice President Dr. Bawumiah for recently advising the Muslim youth not to fight for any politician but rather tell the politicians to use their wards for such violent operations.

What is Asantehene doing about these miscreants in Ashanti using ndc to cause mayhem in Ashanti region? this Hawks was formed to terrorize Ashantis by John mahama and Yammin and you are there looking on not protecting your people! When Otumfuo Opoku Ware found Ashantis were targeted by the PNDC he made his voice heard clear to the government that he wouldn't tolerate that if they were in power because of Ashantis and this made them change their mind against any bad plot against Nana Yaw Boakye who was targeted that time! we don't see that from Otumfuo,these none Ashanti settlers took the law into their own hands when ndc was in power and terrorized Kumasi people on broad day light riding on motor bikes and nothing came out from the King what's going on which prompted some Ghanaians to even speak against the King in the diaspora and yet still he didn't take any measures to warn these lawless settlers and they doing it again! who told them they have power over thd judge?these people must feel the heat ndc is no more in power and will never come back to power! nons*ense !
