DSP Samuel Kojo Azugu, Commander SWAT Team Unit, National Security Secretariat says there was no ulterior motive behind his men wearing mask during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.

Heavily armed operatives of the SWAT team unit stormed the La-Bawaleshie electoral area during the by-election wearing mask.

This raised a lot of questions as to why they were in mask and if truly they were security agents.

However, answering these questions, when he took his turn at the 3rd sitting of the Justice Emile Short Commission, Monday, DSP Azugu said the mask were not to intimidate or scare people on that day.

According to him, they were to disguise his men and not for any 'ulterior' motive.
