The former Chief Staff Officer at the General Headquarters, Burma Camp, has been appointed by ex-president Mahama as his campaign security coordinator.
His continuous stay at Burma Camp, after going on retired, is said to have prompted the Military High Command to sack him following his decision to engage in active politics.
The Daily Guide newspaper, which first reported the story, noted his action as breached military rules since political activities are not allowed in the Barracks.
The retired general, after his appointment by the former President, hosted National Democratic Congress (NDC) vehicles at Burma Camp, with attendant siren blaring to the discomfort of other soldiers, according to the newspaper.
Mr Mahama has defended the appointment of the retired army Major General as his security coordinator.
In a statement, Spokesperson for the Mahama Campaign, James Agyenim-Boateng, said Major General Adeti is a "distinguished officer of the Ghana Armed Forces."
