Ghana Armed Forces Issues A Strong Warning To All Ghanaians

The Chief of the Defence Staff of Ghana, Lieutenant General William Agyepong, has given a strong warning to all Ghanaians about the dangers of false information spreading, especially about the military. He said these false stories are causing confusion, distrust, and division among soldiers and the public.

He explained that sharing unverified information can hurt the discipline, teamwork, and morale of the Armed Forces. Everyone is urged to check facts carefully before spreading news, particularly on social media and informal platforms.

Lieutenant General Agyepong also spoke about the welfare of soldiers. He acknowledged that many face challenges with housing and living conditions. He assured that the military leadership is working to fix these problems. By 2026, over 2,000 new houses are planned across military camps nationwide to provide better accommodation for personnel.

The Armed Forces also plan to use their skills and expertise to start projects that generate income. This will help support military operations and improve the welfare of soldiers.

He further reassured the public that the Ghana Armed Forces is fully ready to protect the country and maintain national security. However, spreading false information about the military can weaken public confidence and harm the nation.

These announcements were made during the annual end-of-year interdenominational religious service at Burma Camp in Accra. The event allows soldiers to pray, give thanks, and reflect on the year while building unity among all personnel.
