The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has issued a strong warning against the increasing unauthorized use of military-pattern uniforms by civilians, including protesters, private security personnel, and illegal miners.
This warning follows a surge in cases where civilians have been seen wearing military-style attire, particularly during protests and illegal mining operations-a trend that the Armed Forces finds alarming.
Recent demonstrations in Accra and Kumasi have seen individuals, some claiming to provide security for public figures, dressed in military-pattern camouflage.
Similar incidents have also been observed in illegal mining areas, commonly referred to as "Galamsey" sites, and among certain political activists.
