Kumasi, June 02, GNA – ASIG – an advocacy group, has urged robust use of the coercive powers of the state to stop what it termed as “the lawlessness, which is making the country unsafe for everybody”.
It said the situation where people took the law into their own hands, acted savagely and with impunity, was completely unacceptable and must not be allowed to continue.
The call was contained in a press statement jointly signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Emmanuel Arthur, and Mr. James Addai, the Head of Communication.
This comes amid widespread shock, anger and condemnation of the shameful and horrific killing of an army officer, Captain Maxwell Mahama by a mob at Diaso, near Denkyira Obuasi.
ASIG underlined the need for the security agencies to firmly and boldly enforce the law to make that those who breached the law were punished.
It reminded all Ghanaians to accept to get right with the law, adding that, “we clearly as a people should refuse to be defined by violence and lawlessness”.
The group said in a civilized society, the expectation was that, no matter the circumstance, people would allow the state security agencies to “act in our collective interest”.
