Defence Minister Says Missing Ammunitions Were Moved From GAF to National Security Under NPP Govt
The Minister for Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, has provided clarity on the unaccounted-for ammunition transferred to the National Security in 2024.
According to him, the transfer of the ammunition from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) took place under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration.
“Once again, ammunition is not the same as a weapon. Some are confusing the two. Please don’t confuse the two.”
“Again, the unaccounted for ammunitions were transferred from the Ghana Armed Forces to the National Security in 2024 under the NPP administration.”
He noted that the National Security outfit under President John Dramani Mahama is investigating the matter.
The matter was brought to public attention during Dr Omane Boamah’s turn at the Government Accountability Series on July 21, 2025.
“We have kept our nation safe and stable notwithstanding the irregular transfer of thousands of rounds of military ammunition in 2024 from the Ghana Armed Forces to the National Security outfit. Ammunitions which have not been accounted for,” he said.
