DEFENCE PRESS CORPS CONDEMNS ALLEGED ASSAULT BY SOLDIER; COMMENDS SWIFT ACTION BY GHANA ARMED FORCES
The Defence Press Corps of Ghana has condemned in no uncertain terms an alleged assault on some civilians by an individual soldier identified as Warrant Officer Class One (WO1) William Mensah on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.
The Corps commends the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) for the swift action taken to arrest the suspect to assist with investigations into the incident.
We have full confidence in the leadership of the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) and the Service Chiefs, and we believe that due process will be followed to ensure that the alleged offender, if found guilty, faces the full consequences of the law without fear or favour.
The Defence Press Corps also appeals to the general public to treat this as an isolated incident and not as a reflection of the entire Ghana Armed Forces. The GAF remains a respected national institution that has consistently demonstrated professionalism, discipline, and dedication to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country.
We urge the public to continue to have faith and trust in the Ghana Armed Forces as they carry out their constitutional mandate.
Signed:
Joseph Armstrong Gold-Alorgbey
Dean, Defence Press Corps of Ghana
