The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has dismissed reports that three of its personnel have been arrested for robbery offenses.

In a statement to debunk the reports, GAF said the allegation of robbery has not been established against the three soldiers, hence it is premature for such a conclusion to be drawn by the public.

Referencing a story by The Chronicle which announced the arrest of the soldiers for robbery, the Armed Forces explained that a Nigerian national had reported the soldiers to the Amasaman Police station for alleged extortion, seizure of phones and forced entry into a premise at Nsakina.

The statement further said that based on the report against the soldiers, there was a joint investigation by the Military Police and the Civil Police into the matter.

Subsequently, the “Military Police escorted the three soldiers to the Amasaman Police Station where they were compelled to avail themselves for their photographs to be taken as part of a routine investigation process.”

GAF said preliminary investigations by the Military Police indicate that one of the soldiers had claimed he had monitored suspicious movements in the house occupied by the Nigerian.

Together with his colleagues, they proceeded to the house and after being ushered in by one of the occupants, they noticed some Nigerians busily working on laptops.
