Reports reaching us from our district forest offices confirm that armed men stormed and forcefully entered Forestry Commission District Offices at Nkawie, Bekwai and Offinso, disrupting official work, intimidating staff, and unlawfully accessing files, equipment, and sensitive records. At Offinso, the armed men demanded keys for the Registry and the official vehicle. Prior to these, similar incidents took place in Tepa and Goaso where seized truckloads of illegal lumber were forcefully taken away from the premises of the Forestry Commission at night by armed men. The manner of the invasions—armed operatives barging into peaceful offices, locking out staff, seizing equipment, and issuing verbal threats—is nothing short of barbaric. It is an insult to the public service, a disgrace to Ghana’s democratic credentials, and an affront to institutional professionalism.
