The Commanding Officer of the Achiase Jungle Warfare School in the Eastern Region, Lieutenant Colonel Jacob Cudjoe, has issued a stern warning to individuals planning to disrupt peace during the upcoming December 7 elections.

In a video that gained widespread attention on Thursday, Lt. Col. Cudjoe made it clear that the military would not hesitate to act if law enforcement agencies were unable to maintain order during the election period.

The commanding officer emphasised the military’s readiness to step in and take decisive action should the situation escalate beyond the control of the Ghana Police Service.

He stated that the armed forces are there to play a crucial role in maintaining peace and order during the election, ensuring that no one attempts to undermine the process through violence or intimidation.

Lt. Col. Cudjoe reassured the public that the military would work closely with the police to maintain security across the country, but he stressed that the armed forces would not hesitate to intervene if necessary.

The statement from the commanding officer comes amid growing concerns over potential election-related violence, with political tensions running high in the lead-up to the polls.

In his address, Lt. Col. Cudjoe urged all citizens to exercise their democratic rights responsibly, calling for peaceful conduct and respect for the rule of law.

“I am telling you here that I will only come in here this 7th December within the Akyemansa enclave when the police tell me that they cannot, and when I come, I will not talk, I will beat the hell out of you and will leave you.”

“When you go to the polling stations, just cast your vote, go home, go and sleep. When it is 5 pm, come, they will tell you where to stand, they will count for you, if you win, clap, go home then you will not have any problem with me and my people,” he advised.
