Flt. Sergeant Nicholas Owusu Frimpong on December 31, 2021, was captured in a video firing an AK 47 several times into the air at the A&C Mall in East Legon, Accra.<\/p>\n
MyJoy Online, on January 8, 2022, reported that the Acting Director of the Department of Public Relations of GAF, Commander Andy La-Anyane, in an interview said GAF was seriously investigating the incident because it was totally unprofessional for a military officer to engage in such as an act.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Military High Command takes this particular incident seriously because it is unprofessional for a soldier to go to a public place and fire his rifle indiscriminately\u201d, the acting director was quoted by MyJoy Online.<\/p>\n
He added that after the investigation, the military officer would receive the appropriate punishment.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the Command is waiting for the outcome of the investigation by the military police and then the necessary sanctions will be applied to serve as a deterrent to others.\u201d The commander said.<\/p>\n
In an earlier interview by the media house, Commander La-Anyane said Flt. Sergeant Nicholas Owusu Frimpong could suffer sanctions ranging from a reduction in rank to dismissal if he is found guilty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
