The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has refuted claims circulating in a viral audio recording alleging that a civilian pick-up truck was allowed entry into the Magazine of the 5 Battalion of Infantry to transport boxes of ammunition to an unknown location.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, December 25, the GAF described the allegations as false and urged the public to disregard the audio.

They clarified that the vehicle in question was delivering a live cow to be quarantined before relocation to a kraal adjacent to the Magazine premises.

“GAF wishes to assure the public that the information on the said audio is false and should be treated with the contempt it deserves,” the statement read.

The Armed Forces further noted the importance of verifying security-related information before sharing it, warning that the dissemination of unverified claims can create unnecessary tension and cause fear and panic, particularly during sensitive periods.

“Such actions tend to create unnecessary tension and also cause fear and panic in the country,” the statement continued, urging individuals and groups to contact GAF’s Department of Public Relations for accurate information.

GAF reiterated its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the stability and sovereignty of Ghana and called on all citizens to act responsibly in promoting peace and security.
