Suspected armed robbers arrested at Kasoa not soldiers – Ghana Armed Forces
The Ghana Armed Forces say the suspected armed
robbers arrested in Kasoa using a military vehicle
are not soldiers.

In a press release, they identified one of the
suspects Isaac Appiah Kubi as a civilian driver of
the Armed Forces who took advantage of the
military vehicle in his possession to assist his
accomplices in a criminal act.

“Our preliminary investigation shows that the
alleged suspects were not soldiers of GAF”.

The men were arrested for seizing money, tools and
keys of vehicles from sand winners.

“The GAF views his action very reprehensible and
will take steps to discipline him in line with our
regulations,” part of the statement read.

They were put before the Ofaakor Magistrate Court
and charged with five offences including
conspiracy to commit crime namely, robbery,
causing harm, prohibition of activities of land
guards and public display of arm.

The suspects include Ampaw Oduro Kwame, who is
allegedly a dismissed soldier, Isaac Appiah-Kubi,
Emmanuel Arthur, and Basit Sulley.



The Ghana Armed Forces cautioned the public
against impersonating the soldiers using military
accoutrement without authorization.
