Akufo-Addo Told To Act Against Military Brutalities
Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been told to act against the brutalities meted out to civilians by some military officers.
Some Military officers stormed the homes of civilians in Ashaiman on Monday, March 6 and brutalized them after a soldier was killed in the area.
The Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, Ernest Norgbey said on the Sunrise show on 3FM that “They can be peeved because one of their own is gone but brutalizing people is not the solution to this problem.”
He added “I know the men (military men) are coming from Michel’s camp. I have called the head there but his line is unreachable.”
Commenting on this in a tweet, Chief Operations Officer at Dalrex Finance Mr Joe Jackson said “I have several young men I call my ‘sons’ in Ashaiman. This situation scares and infuriates me in equal measure. The army must be brought to book. Soldiers who participated must be ‘court marshaled’ and thrown into jail. HE Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, please act.”
