A joint team of the Ghana Armed Forces and the Ghana Police Service has arrested 11 persons and recovered a pump-action gun, ammunition, body armour and other security-related items during an intelligence-led operation at Kromase, near Nkwanta in the Oti Region.

The operation, conducted in the early hours of Wednesday, August 26, 2026, was led by the Combat Team Commander, Major Muktar Saani, and formed part of Exercise STARLIGHT STRETCH III, an ongoing military exercise aimed at strengthening the Ghana Army’s preparedness to respond to emerging security threats.

The Kromase operation provided an opportunity for military and police personnel to apply intelligence-led search and coordinated operational procedures while working together in a real security environment.
