Fake military base shut; 14 arrested

Law enforcement officers in the Central Region have clamped down on a fake military base at Gomoa Ojobi in the Central Region.

The joint military and police operation also led to the arrest of 14 persons over the weekend.

“Right now, they are at the Kasoa Division for investigations. We are collaborating with the Military authorities to find out who brought them to this area and whether they are military officers.”

“At about 1:00pm on Sunday, we got the video and one Kwasi Alhaji came to make a complaint at Ojobi that the men threatened to kill him and destroyed some of his properties including a fence wall. On Saturday, we arrested 4 people and on Sunday, we arrested 10 so in total, there are 14 people,” the Ojobi District Police Commander, DSP David Osei Fofie, told Accra-based Citi FM.

Military bags, boots, uniforms, ID cards, military caps, and various military accoutrements were found on the suspects.

The police said they are expecting feedback from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to ascertain the identities of the suspects and their mission in the area.
