The Cyber Vetting Team at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters has arrested a man captured in a viral video discharging a firearm at a public event held at the El-Wak Stadium in Accra.
The incident occurred on December 28, 2025, and sparked widespread public concern after footage of the act circulated on social media.
The suspect, identified as Abubakari Sadick, popularly known as “Cyborg,” was arrested the following day, December 29, 2025, at Adenta on charges of unlawful possession and discharge of a firearm.
Police retrieved a Derya MK-12 firearm, bearing registration number 22-GHA1162, which has been secured as evidence to aid ongoing investigations.
The suspect is currently in police custody and assisting investigators. He is expected to be arraigned before court to face the full rigours of the law.
The Ghana Police Service has cautioned the public that possession of a registered firearm does not grant the holder the right to discharge it indiscriminately. Authorities stress that firearm licences can be revoked, and offenders prosecuted in accordance with the law.
The Police Service further urged the public to exercise restraint and comply with firearm regulations to ensure public safety.
