The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police is on a hunt for people behind a video going viral on social media about some military men allegedly sent to Kumasi, in the Ashanti region to help enforce the partial lockdown of some major cities by President Akufo-Addo.
In the video, military men and women could be seen either standing or lying on the streets upon their arrival.

In the video, one of the soldiers indicated that they had arrived in the city to carry out the words of the president.
He warned that anybody who was thinking of breaking the lockdown by coming out unlawfully will be descended upon.
But, responding to the alleged video ‘The Lockdown’ show on Sunday, the Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, said the video in circulation about the military men singing and jogging is untrue and hence the public should not fear.

He said though the video footage is real, the video was taken when some military men had returned from a cleanup exercise and someone intentionally altered that video and placed a voice note on it.
“That video is fake and so the public should disregard the video. The footage was taken some time back when these military men had returned from a cleanup exercise and so the voice accompanying the footage is actually fake. Someone had intentionally done that. We shouldn’t allow or encourage fake news as we are not in ordinary times,” he explained.
According to him, CID is investigating the matter and working to find the IP address of the source and deal with the masterminds in the video.
He said any attempt to churn out misinformation that can compromise the fight against the coronavirus would not be entertained.
