The Ghana Armed has announced it would discipline soldiers who stormed Wa and brutalised residents there.
A statement issued by GAF described the conduct of the soldiers as unprofessional.
“This unprofessional conduct took place on Thursday, 1 July 2021 and at a time when the Commanding Officer of the soldiers, and the Chairman of the Regional Security Council were both out of town on official engagements.”
One person is said to be in a critical condition after an alleged military assault on some civilians in Damongo in the West Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region.
Several others also sustained injuries.
It is alleged that the military stormed the place because a civilian had assaulted an officer.
Reacting, GAF said “Internal disciplinary measures have been instituted to deal with all those who will be found culpable in this unprofessional conduct by the soldiers.
In view of the seriousness of the matter, the Chief of the Army Staff is leading a high powered military delegation to Wa to meet the traditional and opinion leaders to find an amicable way of resolving this unfortunate incident. The delegation will also explore means to assuage the anger of the people and promote good neighbourliness.”
