GAF denies attack on Chief of Army Staff in Bawku

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has refuted claims indicating that the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), Major General Lawrence Kwaku Gbetanu, has been attacked in Bawku.

In a statement dated April 25, 2025, and signed by the Director General of Public Relations, Brigadier General E. Aggrey-Quashie, GAF noted that two supposed videos have gone viral on social media, spreading the falsehood.

“GAF wishes to state that the contents of the said videos are false and should be treated with the
contempt that they deserve,” the statement read.

GAF assured that COAS’s operational visit to Bawku on Wednesday, 23 April 2025, was a success with no negative incident recorded.

The statement further revealed that efforts are underway to track down the originators of the videos and bring them to justice, and cautioned the media to be prudent in their reportage, as wrong information can escalate tensions in Bawku.

“GAF once again wishes to caution bloggers, content creators and the media at large to be circumspect in their reportage on GAF operations, especially in Bawku, since any deliberate misinformation and disinformation of the populace has the potential to worsen the security situation in the area,” GAF cautioned.
