As Ghana prepares for the December 7, 2024, general elections, Lieutenant Colonel Jacob Codjoe, the Commanding Officer of the Achiase Jungle Warfare Training School, has issued a strong warning to individuals who might attempt to disrupt the process. Speaking at a peace concert organized by the Salvation Army Church in Akyem Oda, Lt. Col. Codjoe emphasized the military’s readiness to ensure the elections are peaceful and orderly.

“I am telling you here that I will only intervene on the 7th of December within the Akyemansa enclave if the police inform me they cannot handle the situation. And when I come, I will not talk. I will beat you, and the hell with you. I always want people to try me,” Lt. Col. Codjoe declared. His remarks reflect the seriousness with which the military views its role in maintaining national peace.

He urged voters to cast their ballots and return home until polling closes, advising them to come back later only for the counting of votes. “We have a duty, as religious leaders, security heads, family heads, and individuals, to protect the good things we have as a country. The only good thing we have now is the peace we are enjoying. Because with peace, everything can progress. If we destroy it now, nothing can go on,” he stated.

Lt. Col. Codjoe also advised the public to return home after the results are announced, stressing that security agencies would not compromise the nation’s peace for the sake of a few individuals.
