Source: <\/strong>happyghana.com<\/p>\n 2022-01-05<\/p>\n Security analyst, Emmanuel Kotin, has argued that it\u2019s better for the military to hold the officer who discharged a firearm illegally at A&C Mall, East Legon, on Friday, December 31, 2021.<\/p>\n The police have arrested Flight Sergeant Nicholas Owusu Frimpong for firing an AK-47 rifle several times into the air to welcome the year 2022 at the A&C Mall in East Legon in Accra on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n The police noted that it is an offence to discharge a firearm in public \u201cwithout lawful and necessary occasion under Section 209 of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29)\u201d and is being held by the military police whilst investigation continues.<\/p>\n Reacting to calls for Flight Sergeant Nicholas Owusu Frimpong to be released to the police, he said, \u201cthe laws are very clear, and the way we deal with offences involving security personnel is different from civilians. He is under military arrest, and being under military arrest is worse than being in the police cells.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking on the Happy Morning Show with Samuel Eshun, Emmanuel Kotin advised security analysts championing the release of the officer to the police to revise their notes.<\/p>\n To him, a criminal action can be taken against the officer with him being court marshalled and dismissed from the military, \u201cand after that, a civil action can also be taken against him.\u201d<\/p>\n He appealed to Ghanaians not to be emotional about the matter but rather to discuss it passionately to get the expected results.<\/p>\n He further urged security personnel to conduct themselves with the highest professional standards for the good of the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" General News of Wednesday, 5 January 2022 Source: happyghana.com 2022-01-05 Security analyst, Emmanuel Kotin Security analyst, Emmanuel Kotin, has argued that it\u2019s better for the military to hold the officer who discharged a firearm illegally at A&C Mall, East Legon, on Friday, December 31, 2021.
