President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has described as sad and unfortunate, the recent circulation of old videos of alleged brutalities by the security agencies amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
The president who gave his 5th update on measures government has instituted to fight the pandemic in a nationwide broadcast, said he was “extremely disturbed about the actions of a few unpatriotic persons, who are deliberately passing off and circulating old videos of alleged brutality by members of the security agencies, largely of Foreign origin and presenting them as though they were new incidents by Ghanaian security personnel which have occurred during the course of this past week. It is sad, it is unfortunate and it must stop.”
The president added that in order to enhance command and control, more senior officers have been deployed at the operations level , and each member of the security services participating in the exercise has been handed an aide-momoire highlighting essentially, the guideline for the operation.
BestNewsGH.com reports the President as saying ‘’We should all be in this fight together, and there is nothing to be gained with widespread fabrication and distribution of such videos, whose sole aim is to create discontent, and undermine the trust of the population in the men and women of our security services. Who gains from such conduct? Nobody in their right senses! The law enforcement agencies are determined to locate the originators of these anti-social acts.’’
