A publication by the DAILY GUIDE newspaper brought the issue to light which led to then Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), Maj Gen RK Opoku Adusei ordering for further probing into the matter.

The investigative report revealed that Adeti had engaged in certain illegalities with regards to the said car.

Adeti’s successor, Brig M. Whajah first blew the whistle on the alleged vehicle theft after being told by the Bank of Ghana that a vehicle had been donated to the Army, upon sending a request to the bank for support.

The pick-up van – with registration number GN 4240-15 – was then traced at the Driver Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), only to be uncovered that Adeti had taken the vehicle without informing his superiors. The vehicle was later found in his garage.

The investigations therefore revealed that the Major General had engaged in certain foul plays, with regards to him keeping the vehicle.

Adeti was subsequently charged with misconduct.
