Former Police Chief Warns Of Signs Of War On The Horizon

A retired officer of the Ghana Police Service has warned that Ghana is on the edge of the precipice and that unless voices that matter speak out against ongoing injustices and provocations, an implosion could just be at hand.

Supt(Rtd) Peter L Toobu, lists the powder kegs to include the Ayawaso West Wuogon gun violence, the intransigence of the Electoral Commissioner, Jean Mensah and her cohorts and most crucially, the silence of moral society.

These he said have conspired to bring Ghana into the situation which can be described as the calm before the proctracted civil war in Liberia which led to the massacre of thousands.

“It’s worthy to note that when the Bishop becomes the Bible, the Imam becomes the Qur’an and the Politician becomes the Law, the end of decency is in sight.  We will need to reflect on the words of Prophet Elijah in 1Kings 18:44; On the seventh time the servant reported “There is a cloud as small as a man’s hand rising from the sea.” And Elijah replied “Go and tell Ahab, prepare your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.” (Source: Berean Study Bible),” Supt Toobu said.

He adds, “One Ghanaian Pastor who served in Liberia before the conflict recounted the very religious, peaceful and loving-nature of the Liberian people before the breakdown of law and order in a nagging conflict that brought the nation to its knees.” 

Supt. Toobu who is now into politics makes the point that hios ominous writing is based on experience that he gained from 25 years in the Police Service, within which time he went on tours for the United Nations.

“Dear Gatekeepers of Ghana, I pray you do not sleep on your job if you are not already snoring per the pervased silence that has gripped the nation with many good and horrible things to talk about.  

“The hand-size cloud seen by Elijah’s Servant was in existence but was clearer to him on the 7th time which attracted straight forward instructions from Prophet Elijah. 

“I have reviewed electoral violence in the 4th Republic and Ayawaso West Wuogon Bye-election violence can exactly be likened to that of the final emergence of a clear sign of imminent conflict rising from the Gulf of Guinea. 

“I am only an obedient servant and hope to be heard by a Clergy with the spirit that controlled Elijah. The cloud is thickening with “some Government square pegs in round holes, frustration of the millions of young people without hope, the mess created by our attempt to fight illegal mining (galamsey),  open thievery with impunity, rising levels of dishonesty all capped  by the inflexible posture of an Electoral Commission  . The EC is attempting to throw away biodata of millions of Ghanaians and call the citizens to queue in the sun again for 43 days for same data to be recaptured. This can be described as madness in a very charitable language. No 18 year old person’s finger impressions will change over the next 100 years. Why will the EC ask old voters to queue in the sun again? Let’s not justify the claim that the black man is mentally inferior. 

“It’s not for the servant to interpret the vision but what I saw with my professional eyes during the Ayawaso West Wuogon bye-election could be the final sign awaiting a simple trigger,” he warned.

Addressing moral society, he writes, “Most revered men & women of God/Allah, many have been massacred in churches on the outbreak of conflict, many have been killed in conflict for sleeping on the job yet we call them martyrs and many who benefit from conflict continue to fund it behind the scene complicating all attempts to resolve it. Prevention as always is better than cure.  

 “There are too many best practices available to us but our continuous denial of what is evident is only adding more oxygen to a burning coal under a filled gas cylinder.”
