Army starts investigating murder of soldier
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that the Ghana Armed Forces reacted to the murder of one of its officers at Kasoa Millenium City.
The GAF indicated in a statement that it had commenced investigations into the killing of Lance Corporal Danso Michael.
It implored the public to resort to lawful means to address disputes rather than taking the law into one's own hands.
According to earlier reports, the soldier had joined his colleagues to investigate a possible land encroachment case on a plot of land bought by one of his colleagues.
The colleague had been unable to develop the land after one Fiifi had also claimed it. On April 30, during a visit to the site, the soldiers met Fiifi and his group, who were working on the land.
