Pandemonium in Ashaiman as angry soldiers brutalise residents

Information reaching our news desk is that about 20 military officers have invaded Ashaiman, restricting free movement of residents.

The Tuesday imposed curfew, per reports, comes as a response to the murder of a military officer over the weekend.

Reports say a male soldier was beaten to death by unknown civilians in the area.

Currently, residents who flout the military’s directive are either flogged or manhandled, per videos circulating on social media.

The heads of the security agencies in Ghana are yet to comment on the matter.

Meanwhile the matter has gotten social media buzzing, with many calling for police intervention.

The invasion of the soldiers come after a 22-year-old captain with the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) band in Sunyani in the Bono Region was reportedly stabbed to death by unknown attackers Saturday dawn.

The soldier, according to sources, was returning from his girlfriend’s house in Taifa and heading towards his residence at Zongo-Laka in Ashaiman when the unfortunate incident occurred.

Though he was carrying a laptop and other electronic gadgets the attackers made away with only his iPhone, according to the local media.

Police are currently investigating the circumstances under which the soldier was killed and appealing for information from the public.
