When You Have Any Issue With Soldier, He’ll Take Revenge During Coup D’etat- Dr. Obed Asamoah

Dr. Obed Asamoah has painted imagery of how soldiers can be ruthless as they settle personal scores with civilians during a coup d’etat.

He made this submission in a recent interview with TV3’s Roland Walker while responding to those calling for a military takeover in the midst of Nana Akufo Addo’s abysmal performance.

According to him, soldiers who overthrow a constitutionally elected government will always revenge against persons they had bone to pick with.

If for example, he said, someone was fighting with a military officer over a woman, that person will be targeted if there is a coup and be eliminated.

“This fix Ghana elements, some of them are openly calling for military takeover. Those people are childish. When coup happens the power that is wielded by the soldiers immediately after the coup is not discriminatory, they look at it in personal terms.

“If for example you have crossed some military officer in traffic and he is annoyed with you he is coming to shoot you in the confusion of the revolution.

“Or maybe, you have been fighting with him over some girlfriend, in the confusion he will shoot you. So the consequences can be non-discriminatory, they can affect the very people who are asking for that,” he said.
