A combined team of military and police personnel, under the leadership of Combat Team Commander Major Muktar Saani, has apprehended 11 individuals and confiscated various security items during a targeted cordon and search operation at Kromase, near Nkwanta in the Oti Region.
Executed in the early hours of Wednesday, August 26, 2026, the intelligence-driven action concluded around 08:30 GMT. The operation was carried out under the umbrella of Exercise STARLIGHT STRETCH III, an ongoing initiative designed to strengthen the Ghana Army's operational readiness against evolving security threats.
Upon searching designated premises based on credible intelligence, officers from the Ghana Army and the Ghana Police Service recovered several prohibited items, including a pump-action shotgun, live ammunition, body armor, a locally fabricated ammunition belt, and a police uniform.
Both the suspects and the seized items have been moved to the security base, where the individuals remain in custody to assist investigators from the police and military.
This successful effort underscores the critical role of intelligence-led tactics and multi-agency collaboration in safeguarding stability and peace across the Nkwanta district.
