We predicted that the way and manner we allowed the lawlessness to fester will pose a threat to our security and that is what we see. The number of vigilante attacks under Nana Akufo-Addo have been too many to be counted. The President needs to up his game in the fight against crime in this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged the media to challenge former President Jerry Rawlings provide evidence to back his assertion that the robberies could be politically motivated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFormer President Rawlings speaks as though he\u2019s privy to some information that has informed the rate of crime we see in this country. If he has some information, he should put it out there. And I think the media should demand that from him\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 2 March 2018 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2018-03-02 James Agalga, Former deputy Interior Minister Former deputy Interior Minister, James Agalga has described the reshuffle conducted in the Police service by the Inspector General of Police as an admission of crisis.
