Outrage as Social Media User Ask Ghana Armed Forces to Take Over the Country While President Is Away

A shocking social media post has sparked serious outrage after a Facebook user named Abdul Kafui Adzatepkor Sumaila openly called on the Ghana Armed Forces to overthrow the government. In the post, he claimed that President John Dramani Mahama is currently out of the country and urged the military to “take over the country and save us now.” The post has since gone viral, with many Ghanaians expressing disgust and calling for the immediate arrest of the person behind it. The message has been described as reckless, dangerous, and a direct threat to the peace and stability of the nation.

The post did not sit well with other social media users, and it quickly attracted heavy criticism in the comments section. One user, Owureku Aroma, simply commented, “Such a reckless post,” capturing the feelings of many Ghanaians who could not believe someone would openly call for a military takeover. Others expressed concern that such statements could incite violence or create unnecessary tension in the country. In a democratic nation like Ghana, where the people have the power to choose their leaders through the ballot box, calling for a coup is not just reckless — it is a direct attack on the peace and stability that Ghanaians have worked hard to maintain.

The matter has now caught the attention of the Ghana Police Service and concerned citizens who are demanding action. Loud Silence Media, a group that shared the post, made it clear that this is not a matter to be treated lightly. They argued that if the person behind the post is not arrested and punished, it will encourage others to make similar threats against the government. The group also referenced past warnings about coup plots, suggesting that this post should be taken very seriously given the current political climate in West Africa.

For the ordinary Ghanaian, the message is simple: this kind of talk is not a joke. Ghana has enjoyed decades of peace and democratic rule, and many people have sacrificed to keep it that way. Calling on the military to take over simply because the president is out of the country is not just irresponsible — it is dangerous. It is worth noting that the government is always run by a team of leaders, not just one person, and the absence of a president does not create a gap for the military to step in.

Many Ghanaians are now calling on the security agencies to step in and deal with the situation according to the law. The hope is that this will send a strong warning to anyone thinking of using social media to incite violence or threaten the peace of the country. Ghana is a peaceful nation, and no one should be allowed to use their freedom of speech to promote chaos and instability. The security and peace of the nation must always come first.
