As
part of measures to maintain sanctity and discipline within the rank and file
of the Ghana Armed Forces, soldiers who were clad in their uniform to escort
rapper Medikal at his traditional marriage ceremony have been picked up by
their outfit.
Head of Public Relations, Colonel Eric Aggrey Quarshie, in an interview with GhanaWeb, disclosed that the soldiers who were present at the ceremony in their uniforms have been arrested pending investigations.
He stated that the practice of Military officers in uniform making appearance at private events without approval had become “one too many”, and hence the need to clamp it.
Colonel Quarshie further noted with
concern that the practice was bringing the name of his outfit into disrepute
and maintained that personnel from the Ghana Armed Forces were not for hire to
the highest bidder.
He
stressed that the officers who had been picked up were being investigated and
the appropriate sanction or otherwise would be carried out since the practice
was illegal.

He
added that the sanctions to be meted ranged from caution to even dismissal
depending on the outcome of the investigations.
Some persons clad in Military uniforms with their faces veiled, turned up at the traditional wedding ceremony between rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong and Fella Makafui on Saturday, March 7 at Adjringanor near East Legon in Accra.
It will not be the first-time officers in uniform of the outfit have
been seen at private events rendering security services.
