State Abductions: The Jollof Enigma

There is no letup in the sense of apprehension which has beclouded the country. A piece of this fear has gripped the staff of the Abrefi Hospital in Techiman Read More... The post State Abductions: The Jollof Enigma appeared first on DailyGuide Network .

The country remains gripped by apprehension and concern as state abductions continue to be a source of fear and trauma. One such victim, Salomay Bafoh Awiti, a senior nursing officer at the Abrefi Hospital in Techiman, has gone missing, with suspicions pointing towards state actors. Her abduction has left her children traumatized, not knowing the whereabouts of their mother.

This incident highlights the heightened state of hooliganism and raises concerns about the misuse of state security apparatus. There is no valid reason for such midnight abductions when suspects could easily be invited to the National Security Secretariat or arrested during the day. The incident evokes memories of the dark days before the 1966 overthrow of President Kwame Nkrumah, when suspected anti-CPP persons were hounded, arrested, and detained without knowing when they would be released.

History seems to be repeating itself, and the Techiman incident demands reflection from President and his team. The abduction of Salomay Bafoh Awiti, possibly due to her association with Ghana Jollof, raises questions about the values and priorities of those at the helm of the state today. The only difference between Ghana Jollof and Kevin Taylor is the target of their insults, but both cases deserve serious attention.

As Ghana grapples with this enigma, it remains to be seen how this dark chapter in the country's history will be remembered.
