The Ahafo Regional Police Command has arrested three individuals on the Ayomso-Goaso road for allegedly possessing firearms unlawfully.
During a press briefing in Goaso, the Ahafo Regional Police Commander, DCOP James Annor, stated that on February 26, police apprehended 26-year-old Johnson Mawutor and 22-year-old Kelvin Ofori while they were riding an unregistered motorbike on the Goaso-Ayomso road.
According to DCOP Annor, the suspects attempted to evade arrest by turning off the bike’s headlight, abandoning it, and fleeing on foot. The police pursued them and successfully made the arrest. A search of the suspects led to the discovery of an AK-47 rifle and 29 bullets.
He further revealed that the suspects were taken to Abrodanho in Goaso, where additional firearms and ammunition, including pistols, were recovered. The police have since prepared the necessary documentation for the suspects to appear in court.
