Editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako, has been instructed the military to uphold the principle of discipline that guides their activities.
The veteran journalist cautioned the military to exercise control and discretion in all of their activities in response to a radio discussion on the March 7 raid that ended in soldiers brutalizing some Ashaiman locals.
Baako was reacting specifically to a comment by New Patriotic Party (NPP) national organizer, Henry Nana Boakye, who in his submission refused to cleary condemn the actions of the military.
“Nana B is entitled to his inability or unwillingness to blame the modus operandi of the military at Ashaiman. I, however, wish to advice Nana B to tell the military to adhere to the regime of discipline required of the Armed Forces as an institution.
“A lot more is expected of the institution of the armed forces than the residents of Ashaiman in terms of discipline,” Baako texted in into the show.
Police have announced the arrest of six persons in connection with the death of young soldier Sherrif Imoro, which incident triggered the military swoop.
