The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has dismissed a viral audio recording alleging that a civil pick-up truck was allowed entry into the Magazine at 5 Battalion of Infantry to convey boxes of ammunition to an unknown destination.
In a public notice issued by the Department of Public Relations, General Headquarters, Burma Camp, Accra, GAF said the information on the said audio is false and should be treated with contempt.
“The vehicle that entered the Magazine premises was there to deliver a newly acquired live cow to be quarantined, before being relocated to the kraal which is adjacent to the Magazine,” the statement clarified.
The GAF cautioned groups and individuals to cross-check information about the security services before sharing to avoid spreading falsehood.
“Such actions tend to create unnecessary tension and also cause fear and panic in the country, especially around this period,” the statement warned.
The GAF reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the stability and sovereignty of the nation, reminding the public that its doors are open for inquiries.
“Anything that is done deliberately or inadvertently against the peace of the country should be avoided,” the statement concluded.
