2.  They also want an order that each of the affected ex-soldiers be compensated with an amount of GHC20,000.00 as damages for the unlawful release.

3.  Legal fees and cost

This is not the first time some ex-military men have sued Ghana Armed Forces and the Chief of Defence Staff.

In January this year, two hundred and twenty-five retired military officers sued the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) over what they describe as under-payment of their gratuities, contrary to what the government approved.

The ex-servicemen who were recruited between 1988 and 1989 had served the country well over 25 years before they commenced their terminal leave in December 2014.
