There is simmering tension within the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) following reports that five newly acquired armored Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles are unaccounted for.
These vehicles, intended to bolster the military’s operational capacity, were allegedly diverted upon arrival and are now reportedly stationed at the private residences of Senior Military officials.
According to sources within the GAF, the vehicles were procured to enhance the mobility and protection of troops in various operations.
However, instead of being dispatched to the designated military installations, including the central depot at Burma Camp, the vehicles were allegedly directed to the homes of the Air Force Commander, Navy Commander, and Army Commander.
Insiders claim that the relocation of these vehicles to private residences is part of an arrangement to use them as end-of-service benefits for the aforementioned commanders.
This deviation from standard protocol has raised eyebrows among military personnel and defense analysts.
The procurement of these armored Land Cruisers was reportedly approved by former Defence Minister, Dominic Nitiwul.
The situation has led to calls for an internal investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the diversion of these vehicles.
Military experts emphasize the importance of adhering to established protocols in asset allocation to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the armed forces.
