The government of President John Dramani Mahama has initiated a high-level investigation into what it describes as the suspicious and undocumented diversion of significant quantities of military-grade ammunition from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to the National Security Secretariat during 2024, under the former (NPP) administration.

The startling revelation was made public by the Minister of Defence, Dr Edward Kofi Omane Boamah during the second edition of the Government Accountability Series on Monday.

It has since raised serious concerns about arms control and the apparent abuse of military logistics under the previous government.

The National Security Coordinator, COP Abdul Osman Razak, is spearheading the probe, which insiders say is being conducted "with uncompromising intensity".
