Videos making rounds on TikTok, WhatsApp and Facebook suggest that some military personnel had been sighted in Zabzugu in the Northern Region on December 5, 2024. The videos show scores of youth in an outdoor space in the  night talking among themselves. There is also a picture showing some four military men standing idly at a market in the community. here, here and here.

Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition spoke with a Zabzugu-based journalist who confirmed that some military men had indeed arrived in the area but agitated youth forced them to leave the area, insisting that they had no official tasks in the town. 

“The military men came to Zabzugu, and went straight to a hotel instead of a camp, so we suspected they were not there on official duties. Upon enquiry, the youth said they wouldn’t allow them in the town and asked them to leave. They also accompanied them with motorbikes out of Zabzugu,” the journalist told the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition.
