The Parliamentary candidate of the NDC in the Ketu South Constituency and a queen-mother in the Aflao Traditional Area, Dzifa Gomashie (Mamma Dzramedo I) has said that the presence of military men at the borders of the Volta region is causing her great distress as the indigenes are subjected to brutality by some of these men.
In an interview with Samuel Eshun on the Happy Morning Show, she said, “Yesterday for example, a young girl about 19 years was walking across to Togo to go to school because people in Togo come to school here and our children also go to school in Togo and for no reason, this gentleman in immigration uniform beat her and her brother because they didn’t say anything to him. She was introduced to us and her family had gone to make a complaint too. So we followed up with the immigration and he didn’t even deny that he beat the girl and the marks were on her”.
According to her, people are harassed even when they decide to go to the markets.
“People are coming from the market and the military want to check what is in the bag,” she added.
She admitted that the increase of the military men in the region has caused her “a lot of sleepless nights”.
She expressed her disappointment in the Government’s method of curbing the COVID-19 disease by deploying military men to the borders in the region.
She questioned, “If we are saying that we are now going to use guns to stop COVID-19 which is the impression some people want to create, I mean it is laughable, isn’t it? Who combats disease with a gun? Who combats disease with a cane? Who combats disease with the army?”
“If you want to protect our borders from people coming into our country I don’t see why it should be a terrifying situation. It shouldn’t. So these are the concerns that we raised,” she added.
The deployment of military officers at Ketu South has stirred controversy as residents in the Municipality of the Volta region say they are living in fear and panic following the deployment of some heavily armed security personnel into the area.
The opposition NDC has alleged that the government deployed the soldiers as part of an ethnic agenda.

Goodness if you’re not sstiupidd why should you be sleepless when the military is protecting you and your country? What a joke! Well you can go and burn the sea because we’re not going to fly on Airbus with an incompetent pilot through dumso to IMF anymore when babies with sharp teeth are on board and land us on Woyomey’s backyard. I know there could be Ford Expedition to take us by land but we will rather prefer bus branding driven by Ativor in the middle of berko power bribery crisis which indicates government official 1 that’s why I decree like the Jews said never again to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
Mamaga please use the sleepless nights for ALL NIGHT PRAYERS. They might help small wai.
Fine and respected actress, why get into NDC politics? More sleepless nights for you my dear Mamaga.
Mamaga please do not allow your high position to be used by the NDC party.Ghana has more than ten border towns and numerous unapproved routes none of the border town has complain.People who have nothing to hide do not afraid security personnel.Please make your position sacrosanct and command respect.My extended family live in the area and they have not seen even ten military men there,they are going about with their normal activities.
***barred word*** BAA TALKING BYHEART. WHO ARE YOU ? PROS
THE NDC MPS GAVE THE PRESIDENT 24 HOURS TO WITHDRAW THE SOLDIERS.THE DEADLINE IS LONG PAST AND THE SOLDIERS ARE STILL THERE AND NO ANT HAS COUGHED . YOU ALWAYS WANT TO SCARE GHANAIANS WITH YOUR SO CALLED POWERS.WE HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING OOO. BRAGGARTS. HON. BEDZRAH. SHOE US YOUR POWERS.
IF YOU ARE NOT A THIEFFF OR A CRIMINALLL YOU HAVE NO FEAR OF THE POLICE PRESENCE IN TOWN. IF YOU HAVE NO CONTRABANDDD GOODS YOU CARE LESS BOUT SECURITY CHECKPOINTS. IF YOU HAVE NO EVILLL AGENDA THE ARMED SECURITY PERSONNEL BECOMES A PROTECTION FOR PEACE AND NOT A CAUSE FOR FEAR. THE FEAR OF NDC OF SECURITY DEPLOYMENT IN THE VOLTA REGION CAN ONLY REVEAL THEIR EVILL CONSCIENCE. AS EXPLAINED BY THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE, THE GHANA SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED IN THE EASTERN, NORTHERN AND WESTERN BOARDERS. NO ONE PARTICULAR REGION WAS SELECTED FOR THE EXERCISE. IT IS CARRIED OUT IN THE WESTERN, WESTERN NORTH, BONO, UPPER WEST, UPPER EAST, NORTHERN EAST, NORTHERN, OTI AND VOLTA REGIONS. THE NUMBERS OF SOLDIERS IN ONE REGION IS NOT DISPROPORTIONATELY DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS, SO WHY SHOULD ONLY SOME PEOPLE IN VOLTA REGION COMPLAIN, IF IT IS NOT DONE OUT OF EVILLL CONSCIENCE. THE EASY SELLING OF NDC PROPAGANDA IN THE VOLTA REGION IS GAINING A NOTORIETY FOR THE REGION. THEY SHOULD WANE THEMSELVES FROM NDC LIESSS.
She will of course have sleepless nights because the presence of the military at the border towns is stopping NDC from bringing in Toogolese to come and register to vote for them. In 2012, John Mahama had 81,880 votes in Ketu South while Nana Akufo Addo had 5,165. In 2016 when the Togolese were stopped from coming to vote Mahama had 65,279 and Akufo Addo had 7,590. There was similar trend in Ketu North and all the border constituencies in the Volta Region. Why should one party always benefit form wrong doing? Why should the NDC complain about deployment of troops to ensure the border is protected? Cna't the party for once play on a level playing field? Why do you always want to steal or cheat when it comes to elections? The soldiers are protecting the nations borders, and no amount threats will make the gov't withdraw them.
stop sleeping altogether wae. Nsemfoo ara kwa. Candidate or queen border?
So such ru*b*b*i*sh talk can come out the mouth of a queen mother? Well, if she doubles as the NDC parliamentary candidate then it is not surprising. She boldly claims that Togolese come to school in ghana and vice versa even though our borders are supposed to be CLOSED. Such a queen mother must be a m0ron to openly admit that laws are being broken in her jurisdiction. Unrepentant lying bitchhhhh!!
