The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has denied a report by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) alleging that civilians were being molested by soldiers deployed to Aflao and its environs.

A statement signed by colonel Eric Aggrey Quarshie, director in charge of the Public Relations Directorate of GAF, said the issue has been investigated and their findings shows that no soldier has been involved in such an act.

He said the Ghana Armed Forces deployment of troops in conjunction with other security agencies, is to ensure the protection of the citizenry and not to intimidate them.

“We wish to assure all and sundry that troops will uphold the high standards of professionalism in the performance of their duties.”
