As a measure to instill discipline within the rank and file of the Ghana Armed Forces, soldiers who were clad in their official uniform to escort Ghanaian rapper Medikal at his traditional marriage ceremony have been picked.
According to the head of Public Relations, Colonel Eric Aggrey Quarshie, the soldiers who were present at the ceremony in their uniforms have been arrested pending investigations.
He stated that the practice of Military officers in uniform making appearance at private events without approval had become “one too many”, and hence the need to clamp it.
In an interview with Ghanaweb, Colonel Quarshie further noted with concern that the practice was bringing the name of his outfit into disrepute and maintained that personnel from the Ghana Armed Forces were not for hire to the highest bidder.

He stressed that the officers who had been picked up were being investigated and the appropriate sanction or otherwise would be carried out since the practice was illegal.
However Colonel Quarshie hinted that the sanctions to be meted ranged from caution to even dismissal depending on the outcome of the investigations.
Rapper Medikal over the weekend got married to his actress Fella Makafui at a traditional ceremony which has left many people in doubts as to whether it is a real marriage ceremony or just an act for a music video.
The doubts stem from earlier claims that the couple put up a stunt about their break-up in January 2020
