The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has strongly cautioned the public against attempts to disarm soldiers deployed to assist the Ghana Police Service in maintaining peace and order.

In a statement on Tuesday, December 10, the GAF expressed concern over the growing hostility toward security personnel, warning that such actions would not be condoned.

The military stressed that soldiers on official duty are authorized to defend themselves, protect civilians, and safeguard property, including the use of lethal force when necessary to preserve lives.

The GAF pointed out that such aggressive behavior endangers both the safety of military officers and the stability of public order across the country.

The statement underscored the military’s essential partnership with the police in ensuring security and peace, particularly during periods of heightened tension.
