Military cautions public against attacks

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has raised concerns over recent attempts by the public to disarm military personnel deployed on authorised duty to support the Ghana Police Service in maintaining law and order nationwide.

The GAF has consequently cautioned the public against such actions, emphasising that military personnel had the right to protect themselves, innocent civilians and property.

Statement

“GAF wishes to caution all and sundry that military personnel on authorised duty have the right to defend themselves, innocent civilians and property, including the use of lethal force, if necessary to preserve life,” the Director-General of Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces, Brigadier General E. Aggrey-Quashie, said in a statement issued yesterday.

The statement further encouraged all Ghanaians to exercise their civic rights responsibly and to cooperate with security personnel to avoid actions that could undermine national peace and stability.

Reiterating its commitment to safeguarding the stability and sovereignty of the nation, the Ghana Armed Forces called on citizens to refrain from acts that threatened the country’s security.

Context

The Ghana Armed Forces was deployed in limited numbers as part of the national elections security arrangement for last Saturday’s general election.
