The military guys who allegedly broke into some residents’ homes in Ashaiman on March 6 and brutalized them after killing a soldier nearby came from Michel Camp, according to Ashaiman’s MP Ernest Norgbey.
The First Battalion of Infantry of the Ghana Army is stationed at Michel Camp in Tema, which is part of Ghana’s Greater Accra Region.
On March 7’s Sunrise program on 3FM, Mr. Norgbey stated, “I know the soldiers (military troops) are coming from Michel Camp. The head there cannot be reached even though I have called his number.
“Whoever perpetrated the crime” (killing the military member) “shall face the full force of the law,” he continued.
Esther Senanu, an eyewitness, stated that “a military member was slain in the region and now the soldiers are travelling from home to house, hitting people. When they finally get to meet you, they tell you to enter. We kind of have a curfew.
Dr. Adam Bonaa, a security analyst, condemned the military for their actions, saying they should have let the Police look into how one of them was supposedly slain rather than enforcing the law themselves.
Dr. Bonaa suggested that the military’s course of action was incorrect.
On March 7, the Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, Ernest Norgbey, stated that after a soldier was murdered nearby on March 6, military officers brutally entered the homes of some people in Ashaiman.
They may be miffed that one of their own has passed away, but Mr. Norgbey stated on the Sunrise show on 3FM with Johnnie Hughes that “brutalizing people is not the solution to this situation.”
“I know the soldiers,” he said, “are coming from Michel’s camp. The head there cannot be reached even though I have called his number.
Dr. Bonaa added, “The soldiers should have left this (killing their military member) in the hands of the police for investigations.” to show presenter Johnnie Hughes. Dr. Adam Bonaa is a security analyst.
“The soldiers carried out the operation in an improper manner.
