ACCRA — The Ghana Police Service announced today the arrest of four individuals, including a social media personality, as part of a major operation targeting the illegal possession of weapons and the spread of false information.
On August 13, police and other security agencies arrested Daniel Adomako, who goes by the name “Sir Obama Pokuase” on social media. Adomako is currently being questioned for his alleged role in circulating images and videos online that show people openly displaying sophisticated, illegally acquired weapons.
This arrest is part of a weeks-long, intelligence-led initiative that has already resulted in the recovery of a significant number of illegal firearms and ammunition.
In a separate but related development, three other individuals,Prince Ofori, Yayra Abiwu, and Emmanuel Kwakye,have been taken into custody. They are assisting with an investigation into death threats and the publication of false news related to a recent helicopter crash.
The Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to public safety, stating it will continue its efforts to dismantle criminal networks and prevent the spread of illegal arms. The police also urged the public to provide credible information to help with ongoing operations and promised to provide updates as the investigations proceed.
