A crunch meeting convened by heads of military and police in the Northern region ended abruptly when the two sides got embroiled in heated confrontations.
Ironically, the meeting which lasted for about three hours was to find a lasting solution to recent bloody clashes between soldiers and police personnel in the region.
Thursday’s meeting became necessary after the bloody clash on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, in the Tamale Metropolis.
“The meeting ended with no clear-cut solution to end the issue because tempers were very high from both sides especially the military” an insider disclosed to 3news.com after the closed-door meeting.
However, the source said, “an independent body to investigate the root cause of the recurring impasse was tabled down as one of the measures to resolve the issue”.
The traditional route march, which has been a conduit in resolving such impasses was also brought up to foster harmony between the military and police in the interim.
A date is yet to be set for the march which would likely take place at the Jubilee Park.
“It was also recommended that the various commanders meet the respective services for more talks”.
Meanwhile, the two security institutions are expected to ensure security in Bimbila ahead of the Supreme Court’s ruling on who is the legitimate occupant of the Bimbilla skin slated for May 23.
They are also responsible for “Operation Calm Life” within the Tamale Metropolis.

There's no security,no freedom and no Ghana under akufo Addo and the npp.
@Edem, I agree 100% with you. Why must police arrest a military man in the first place. The Military trained the police to become police. If you as a police have a complain against a military, then report to his command and let them take it up
Irrespective of the colour of your uniform, your primary role is to ensure that there is peace within our country and our sovereignty is protected from any external aggression. However, if you will continue to fight each other then I do not think that you deserve to wear the uniform. There are thousands of well-cultured and bred Ghanaians who are ready to serve the nation but are denied entry to these service organisations. Who sat to chair the meeting that degenerated into another heated argument? It is very sad when we have service commanders and leaders who cannot resolve issues emerge for the ranks. The Ministry of Interior should see this development as an emergency situation that needs to be resolved once and for all. What right do the soldiers have to enter a police station to free their colleagues who have been held in custody. This is certainly not the disciplined military officers I have known the Ghana military officer to be and I think that we need to take a second look at the recruitment criteria and the entire training process. It is a shame.
The fight was NOT becos of a woman BUT a soldier and his civilian Taxi Driver who reported the soldier man to the police for seizing his motor bicycle.
Even from this picture i can testify that one Military man couldnt get his eyes off the buts of one police woman. The police must respect the military in all senses, under no circumstance would a military allow the police to arrest them. The military have their own military police so it would be unwise for a police man to arrest a military. no where in this life would a military allow a police man to arrest him. tweeeaaaaa
The source of the confusion is a woman. Interesting how a woman can disintegrate our security. God help us
