The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has warned groups and individuals to desist from misinforming the public in its activities.

The GAF, in a statement signed by Brigadier General Eric Aggrey Quashie, the Director General Department of Public Relations (DPR), and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said their attention had been drawn to a viral audio recording on social media platforms alleging that, a civil pick-up truck had been allowed entry into the Magazine at 5 Battalion of Infantry to convey boxes of ammunition to an unknown destination.

The GAF stated that the allegation was false and should be treated with contempt.

The vehicle that entered the magazine premises, the statement explained, delivered a newly acquired live cow to be quarantined before being relocated to the kraal adjacent to the magazine.

It advised everyone to verify the information before publication to avoid unnecessary tension in the country.
