A four-member committee has been set up to investigate clash that occurred between the police and some military officers in Suame in the Ashanti Region on October 29, 2021

The Committee according to a joint statement between the Police and the Military, has been given one week from November 2, 2021 to submit their report to enable the police administration and the military high command to determine the next line of action.

“The committee has one week from Tuesday (2 November) to submit their report to enable the police administration and the military high command to determine the next line of action”.

The committee is made up of ACP Benjamin Osei Addai and ASP Ernest Kwofie of the Ghana Police Service and Colonel Jonathan Kumador and Lt. Col David Addo of the Ghana Armed Forces.

The statement also assured the general public of an open investigation into the matter.

Police and military officers on Friday October 29, 2021 clashed at the Suame suburb of Kumasi on over arrest of a military officer for using unregistered motorbike.

The incident occurred at about 10:40 am after Police MTTD officers arrested the military officer for riding an unregistered motorcbike at a spot near the Wesley College (WESCO).

Subsequently, some military officers stormed the Suame Divisional Police Headquarters and assaulted police officers in an attempt to free their colleague from custody.

Whilst being interrogated, the military officer is said to have made a phone call, alleging he had been assaulted by the arresting officers.

Police sources say although the officer produced a military identity card, it was not enough to grant him freedom from the police.

Few moments later, a team of military officers arrived at the police station and pleaded for the release of their colleague.

Two other military officers appeared at the scene and started beating the police officers and attempted to free the accused from lawful custody.

A police patrol team arrived at the scene to whisk the suspect, a staff sergeant, to the Ashanti Regional Police headquarters.
