The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has notified Lawyer Jamaldeen Tonzua Seidu to stop addressing himself as ‘Captain Retired’ or ‘Ex-Captain’ of the military.
According to GAF, the use of the title is unauthorised as the lawyer had failed to serve the standard number of years he was supposed to as an officer in order for him to use the title in civil life.
Mr. Seidu was released from the Service on Thursday, April 6, 2023 on grounds of Voluntary Resignation of Commission after serving for five years 10 months and 18 days, GAF said.
“GAF wishes to state that the actions of the Lawyer are in contravention of the Armed Forces Regulations and he is therefore cautioned to cease using the rank in his civil life,” GAF stated.
Meanwhile, it urged media houses and the general public not to address him by any military rank as he is not eligible to use it as a civilian.
GAF added that such members of the public who deal with him in the capacity of a retired military officer do so at their own risk.
