A Deputy Minister of Defence, Major (rtd) Derick Oduro, says the military were not deployed to prevent people from registering and therefore it was wrong for a man in a viral video to have threatened the officers.
In a viral video making rounds on social Media, a man is heard telling the military to leave the Banda township in the Bono Region.
“The military must leave this town immediately otherwise if they stay in this town for one more day, they cannot bear the consequences. If it is the government that has deployed the military to this town then they are calling for a fight for Bandaman and the Government of Ghana,” the man is heard in the video saying.
According to the man, “the registration of people is not the responsibility of the military officers. The Voltarians from the other side always come here to vote in an election year so I am surprised that this year alone they are being prevented from registering”.
Commenting on the incident on Decision 2020, an afternoon programme broadcast live on 3FM and hosted by Stephen Anti every Sunday between 12:00 and 1:00pm, Major Derick Oduro, who is also the MP for Nkoranza North Constituency, said he will not take the threat lightly as he vowed the police will pick the man.
According to Major Rtd Oduro, it is untrue the soldiers are preventing people from exercising their rights.
