why were u running...mosquito
The national democratic criminals (NDC) are at it again! The NDC is really a bloody criminals organisation!
are they runing from their own boot for boot this is just a tip of the ice bulge
Next time the shooters must get close to them and give it to those who are calling for WAR.The so called Diplomats are they still in GHANA?John Mahama and his team created this Insecurity before they left POWER but Akuffo Addo gov't can assure them of a safer PLACE in this couNTRY.
MOSQUITO (ASIEDU), PHOTOGRAPHER (AMPORFO) AND THE HORSE (POMKO) SCALING A TALL WALL TO TAKE COVER. I LAUGHED ENTERED NDC REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS IN KUMASI. AS FOR THE MOSQUITO, IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE WARRIOR (SNIPER)TO GET HIS TARGET BECAUSE OF ITS EVASIVE SIZE. WHAT OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER? PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE SHARP LENS OF HIS CAMERA, THE WARRIOR THOUGHT HE COULD CAPTURE HIM SO JUST SPARED HIM. FOR THE HORSE, I SUSPECT IT KNELT DOWN SO LOW TO ESCAPE THE BULLET WHICH WAS AIMED AT IT SO HIGH. MAHAMA SHOULD SHOW THIS TO ECOWAS, AU AND UNITED NATIONS FOR US TO TAKE SERIOUS ON HIS CRUSADE.
MOSQUITO ATTEMPTED TO LIE SAYING SOMEBODY ON MOTORBIKE CAME TO SHOOT AND WENT AWAY. NDC SECRETARI A/R SUPPORTED THE LIE. BLOODY PARTY OF LIARS. ALL THE NDC EYEWITNESS SAID THE KILLER WAS AN NDC HAWK MEMBER. THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM. MAHAMA SHOULD TAKE THIS TO THE DIPLOMATS IN GHANA THIS IS REAL BLOODY INCIDENT RESULTING IN TWO DEATH. IN THIS CASE THERE WAS REAL INTENTION TO KILL AND THERE WAS KILLING. IF WE A TALKING OF BLOODY EVENT THIS NDC SHOOTING IS A REAL ONE THAT DESERVES CONDEMNATION. NDC HAS BEEN WISHING FOR DEATH, SOMETHING BLOODY, SO THE SHOUTING BLOODY THIS BLOODY THAT. THEY SHOULD DEAL WITH IT AND LEAVE THE POLICE ALONE. AFTER ALL THEY DID NOT TRUST THE POLICE. THEY WENT TO AYAWASO WITH HAWKS TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN SECURITY, AS THEY CLAIM. THE POLICE SHOULD LEAVE THEM TO THE HAWKS TO EAT THEM UP. OF LATE MANY HAVE CONDEMNED THE SECURITY AGENCIES. THE SECURITY MIGHT HAVE ERRED BUT THE MAGNITUDE OF THEIR ERROR CANNOT IN ANYWAY BE COMPARED TO THE HARM THAT THE MOTORBIKES OF HAWKS AND THE COMPOUND OF AZORKERS WOULD HAVE UNLEASHED ON INNOCENT CITIZENS WITHIN AYAWASO. GOD WHO KNOWS THE SECRETE OF EVERY HEART SAVED GHANA FROM THAT DIABOLIC AGENDA OF NDC FOR AYAWASO ELECTION. GOD HAS ALLOWED THIS INCIDENT IN KUMASI TO HAPPEN TO NDC SO THAT ALL MAY KNOW THEIR HYPOCRISY AND EVIL DEEDS. MORE WILL STILL HAPPEN TO THEM, IF THEY DO NOT CHANGE FROM THEIR DIABOLIC INTENTION AND AGENDA. ASIEDU NKETIA AND MAHAMA HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING YET. WHO CAN WIN BY FIGHTING GOD. GHANA IS FOR GOD. WE SHALL BUILD THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL. HE DESERVES TO BE PRAISED FOR ALL HIS GOODNESS TO THE NATION. THE BATTLE SHALL ALWAYS BE FOR THE LORD.
This was planned and executed by NPP just to mask the shameful Ayawaso by election shooting. It was designed to divert attention from the Ayawaso incident.
l learnt NDC parliamentarians have organized press conference on the Kumasi shootings, wobeti Bobolibobo. God has a way of punishing ***barred word*** doers, , JM if you would send the video of Kumasi shootings to the diplomats or not, they have heard it
I don't how Ofosu Ampofo managed to escape alongside 2 animals - Ponko and Mosquito... Just asking ooo. Any eye witnesses please?
When NPP and NDC meet to compete it's violence. When NDC and NDC meet to jaw-jaw, it's violence. Clear indication that Ghana is heading for a security disaster - with all these violence and think about it - kidnappings. Government should rise up and nip these in the bu before we are consumed.
