Destruction of over 2,000 firearms signals tougher enforcement against illegal weapons - Julius Debrah
Julius Debrah, the Chief of Staff, stated at the National Arms Destruction Ceremony that the destruction of more than 2,000 confiscated and surrendered firearms marks a turning point in Ghana's efforts to tackle the proliferation of illegal weapons and strengthen public safety. He said, "More than 2,000 firearms are being destroyed."
The firearms destroyed included weapons seized during security operations, those confiscated through court orders, arms voluntarily surrendered under the national gun amnesty programme, and others handed over outside the amnesty arrangement. Mr. Debrah explained that the destruction was necessary to ensure the weapons do not find their way back into society. He added that the exercise officially ends the voluntary compliance phase of the national gun amnesty programme, paving the way for stricter enforcement measures.
