Speaking to Adom News in Goaso, the Ahafo Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Chief Inspector Kwadwo Boakye, said a significant number of residents have visited designated police stations across the region to voluntarily surrender firearms.
“The steady turnout shows strong public cooperation and a positive commitment to enhancing security in the region,” he noted.
Chief Inspector Boakye urged those yet to participate to fully cooperate with the Police to help make Ahafo a safer place. He also reminded the public that the amnesty exercise has been extended and will officially end on January 30, 2026.
