A former army man, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has kicked against the promotion of Lt. Col. Frank Agyeman, a day after his secondment was withdrawn from the National Security Ministry for assaulting Citi FM’s Caleb Kudah.
Lt. Col. Frank Agyeman reportedly kicked Caleb Kudah in his groin who was arrested for filming some grounded MASLOC vehicles at the premises of the National Security Ministry, a security zone.
A document sighted by this portal indicates that Lt. Col. Agyeman appointed as the Commanding Officer of the 64 Infantry Battalion on 21 May 2021.
This, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe said with all his experience in the Ghana Armed Forces and knowledge about its workings, he has never seen nor heard that a withdrawn soldier had been promoted.
Speaking on Class91.3FM’s Class Morning Show on Tuesday, 25 May 2021, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe said, “Let’s take the case of Lt. Col. Agyeman: I’m a soldier and I know exactly how the laws there operate. No soldier, who has been pitched anywhere and for one reason or the other is withdrawn, is sent back to a higher position.
“I have never heard it”, he insisted, adding: “Not when I was in the army.
“And this is happening and this is not good for the nation and nobody says anything. Particularly, in the military, we have other officers there. [Lt. Col.] Agyeman is not the only officer in the Ghana Armed Forces. There are other officers who’ll be carefully watching what happens.”
He continued, “So, in a situation like that, what good example are you really setting?” Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe asked, wondering: “Do you really think the people in this country are good for nothing that anything at all can be said or done and no one will say anything? This is dangerous for our society. Very very dangerous”.
