The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has confirmed that it conducted a swoop on March 07, 2023, in Ashaiman, following the death of its officer.
A statement issued by GAF said the swoop was sanctioned by the High Command and that “regrettably some innocent persons might have been caught up in the operation and consequently suffered some distress due to the location they found themselves at the time”.
The statement added 184 suspects who were picked up have been handed over to the Military Police and subsequently to Ghana Police.
”GAF wishes to state categorically that the military operation, which was sanctioned by the Military High Command, was NOT to avenge the killing of the soldier but rather to fish out the perpetrators of the heinous crime. Following the operations at Ashaiman-Taifa and Tulaku, the military personnel picked up about 184 suspects aged between 21 and 47 years old and have since handed them over to the Military Police and subsequently to be sent to the Ghana Police Service for screening and for further action. During the course of the swoop, the personnel seized 29 slabs and 57 mini slabs of suspected indian hemp and amnesia among other forms of the narcotics.”
