Martin Amidu has questioned the legality of recent joint military and police operations in Ghana’s anti-galamsey campaign, saying they exceeded the constitutional mandate of the Ghana Police Service.
Amidu provided a detailed breakdown of incidents in November 2025. He explained that the IGP, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, had issued operational directives in accordance with Article 202 of the 1992 Constitution, tasking the Criminal Investigation Department and regional police commands to investigate specific incidents in Ahafo, Volta, and Ashanti Regions.
