The Big Issue<\/em><\/strong>, Casely-Hayford said: \u201cThis country Ghana inherited politics of violence – throughout our colonization, we fought the British back and forth for political hegemony. All throughout the fight for independence\u2026there were a lot of killings. Kojo Bostio\u2019s sister\u2019s bungalow was burnt down and she died in the process. There were similar counter attacks by the then CPP government and the NLM [National Liberation Movement].\u201d<\/p>\nHe observed that currently, there is low public confidence in the security agencies to investigate and bring the perpetrators of political killings to book due to years of unresolved cases similar to that of Adam Mahama.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have too many open ended hanging issues that never conclude especially when it has to do with murder. There are aggrieved parties sitting in there waiting\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the financial analyst, the nation\u2019s history is \u201crife with political murders and political executions so it is there with us and we have grown up knowing that violence.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stressed that it is high time Ghanaians made the decision to actually take the steps to end the numerous political killings.<\/p>\n
Casely-Hayford cautioned the leadership of the NPP that there is a \u201cpotential fire burning in the back door\u2026if you leave it to fester like we usually do in our politics, then it will become a major issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
He predicted that there is the likelihood that after the burial of Adam Mahama, a group of aggrieved young people will sit down and plot reprisal attacks which they will certainly carry out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have to nip things in the bud before they go too far,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
