The guards on duty noticed his suspicious behavior, questioned him and after some incoherent answers, he confessed he was not service personnel,” the army said Wednesday.

The man has been handed over to the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) of the Ghana Police Service for further investigation and prosecution.
