Sam George demands dismissal of Military Officer over alleged intimidation in Ningo Prampram

Samuel Nartey George, the Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, has called for the dismissal of Lieutenant Albert Goh, accusing him of misconduct in Ningo-Prampram. The minister alleges that Goh led an operation where military personnel entered the constituency heavily armed, seized trucks from residents without lawful authority, and mistreated locals.

George described the actions of the soldiers as akin to armed robbery and emphasized that the military personnel had no justification for taking citizens' property. He warned soldiers against returning to the constituency to brutalize residents, stating that they would face the law if they did so again. George also accused Goh of disrespecting a police commander and using seized trucks for about two weeks without lawful authorization.

The minister stated that he would raise the matter with the Minister of Defence to ensure military authorities investigate the incident and hold those involved accountable, maintaining that residents of Ningo-Prampram deserve justice.
