Following the operation, a March 8, 2023, press release was posted on various social media platforms of the military, signed by General E. Aggrey Quashie, Director-General, Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces.

The said statement was later taken down from all platforms, apparently to rectify some clerical mistakes.
There was a date error on the release that had already gone viral within minutes of publication.
The date for the swoop was captured as Tuesday, March 8, 2022, which was a mistake that was rectified in the new statement that was reposted almost an hour later.
The military arrested 184 suspects after their operation, out of which 150 have since been released, whiles 34 are undergoing further screening, MP for the area Ernest Henry Norgbey confirmed in an interview with TV3.
