A lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Justice Moses Aheto, claims Akufo-Addo government is "heavily equipping" its vigilante groups with ammunitions, far "more sophisticated than what the regular security agencies" are using.
According to him, he had earlier before the broadcast of Joy News "Militia in the heart of the nation" documentary, stated on Radio Gold that the government is training vigilante groups purposely for its own activities.
A Joy News investigative piece put together by ace journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, revealed the training of a group allegedly affiliated to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the Osu Castle.
The group called De-Eye allegedly gives training to men and women to provide security and other services according to their website; which according to checks is currently inactive.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold's "Alhaji and Alhaji" programme, Dr. Moses Aheto asserted the NPP government deliberately asked its opponent [NDC] to lay down their arms while the ruling government heavily equips its vigilante groups.
"Regarding the militia training at Osu Castle, remember on the 23rd February on this same program, I made it clear that actually the government is training vigilante groups purposely for their own activities and for that matter they are coming back to us and asking their opponent to lay down their arms while they are heavily equipping their vigilante groups".
"I even also made it clear that what I know at first hand, some of them are being given ammunitions or weapons that are even more sophisticated than what the regular security agencies are using. There is no doubt...the only problem is that we behave so hypocritical in our nation and for that matter even what is true is made to be the lie and the lie becomes the truth", he insisted.

YOU KNOW VERY MUCH THAT YOU ARE LYING AND TELLING LIES THROUGH YOUR BURNT TEETH. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR WORRIED SELF. WHEN PEOPLE WHO ARE DEEMED TO KNOW BETTER SPEW LIES AND PEDDLE FALSEHOOD. I WONDER WHERE YOU HAD YOUR 'BOUGHT PHD' FROM. NO WONDER YOU STILL DUSTER AND CARRY BOOKS FOR STUDENTS IN YOUR SCHOOL. KEEP TELLING LIES AND YOUR BURNT TEETH WILL TURN WHITE.
I am an academic in one of our reputable universities and I am very surprised that an academic will be talking like this. If we the academics argues like party communication/serial callers then where are we heading to? I have personally been to the castle recently and trust me, it is never a security zone at all. I was never subjected to any security checks and the place was so much deteriorated
Why do the supposedly learned always want to foment trouble? In the 20 or so years when the words of Rawlings were law and he set up his militia most of which were drafted into the 64 battalion of the Ghana armed forces where was Dr. Aheto? I thought you would give the details of the arms and munitions you are talking about. Why did you give the info on radio Gold as you said? How many people rate radio Gold as a useful station? Some of you guys do not respect the degrees you hold and you talk as illiterates because of your lack of objectivity and tribalism. Have you ever blamed Azorka for starting vigilantism in Ghana? You hypocrite.
All the above comments trends on ethnocentrism and I'm not surprised. President Akufo-Addo in opposition demonstrated his "Yen Akanfo" mantra, and Yaw Osafo-Marfo said the same. Unfortunately, in Ghana people's contributions are judged by their name and where they come from. Today, women are fighting for equal rights, blacks in the US and Europe are fighting against racism and discrimination, and the world is against antisemitism, and you sit in 3rd world country, like Ghana playing tribal politics? President Akufo-Addo lied to you to fulfill his presidential ambition. We should call him, President Do-Little or King Promise. Because he has demonstrated that NPP doesn't have the experts as they claimed and so he appointed 111 ministers and deputies and still can't do anything. In view of this, NPP and his cohorts attack anyone who criticizes them. Less than 24 hours when Manasseh documentary was aired, the so-called De-Eye Group website was pulled down for reasons unknown. When the same Manasseh aired SADA and Ford saga, NPP jubilated but today, you are crying when aired De-Eye Group. At least JDM prosecuted some rotten apples in NDC, King Promise exonerates all the rotten apples in NPP. The ***barred word*** government Ghana has ever had. When then-candidate Akufo-Addo said "all-die-be-die", and Kennedy Agyapong mantra to kill Ewes and Gas, who condemned them? Ghana is not for Ashantis and Akyems and it shall never belong to them. Why should one justify what he says based on where he's coming from? "Nkroasefoo"
his name even makes his unsurprising
Mention of Radio Gold and then you know he is an NDC activist in an academic cloth. Any evidences as its know elsewhere, PHD holders do not speak in vain. Judging from the botch documentary, there was a single individual holding a gun. Let the truth prevails
Let the BNI invite him to prove his story. We must start arresting some of these illiterate lecturers who keep on sharing false information. This is all because Aheto is an Ewe and Nana Addo is Akan. In Universities, these Ewe lecturers victimize Akan students because of their political inclination and tribe. Shame on you Aheto and your likes including lecturers who sleep with girls for high marks.
All hail pocket-size mobster president and warlord Nana Bouteflika !! Despicable me and his minions !
U are better off leaving the lecture halls nd vieying for a party position in the NDC. U obviouslt9 shot urself in the foot by ur claims. I repeat, quit the lecture halls ASAP.
I just didn't waste time to read this sh*it but went for the source and no doubt it came from an anti-Ghana, nation wrecker, parasite, hateful and jealous ndc guru ! I'm surprised this so called professor was around when ndc was sinking in power and couldn't help them with his professional prowess! meaningless education, an education of learning somebody's kritical thinking and writing books for you to learn an education with no kritical thinking to invent something is meaningless, tweeeeeaaaa and he want us to listen to his nons*ense? what has he achieved with his education if something better he wouldn't make himself an ndc serial caller!;say what you can do for your country not what your country can do for you! We all know what Prof. Frimpong Boateng did for Ghana, we all know of what Prof.Djan Barfuor did for his country what has this man done other than going to radio gold to spew garbage, what has he done for himself his hate and rubb*ish talk will never bring back his ndc for him to create l000*00t and share others resources! Akufo Addo is using that money he is talking to get favour in 50 years time to build Ghana, he is giving back the people's funds from their resources to them not reserving it for Woyome, Dzifa Ativor and Senam Tamakloe and their brother Moses Aheto to come and chop! whether vigilante or no vigilante all we know is ndc want to kidnap and kill Ghanaians for power and Akufo Addo is against that and want all vigilante groups banned and ndc are against that so ndc are finding ways to cover their evil deeds but it will never work for them! Ndc and their Joyfm ndc surrogates Mannase Azure Awuni and Akyena Brentuo can spin and turn it will never hold water!;all we know is ndc are armed robbers and murderers Aheto included !
