The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with other security agencies, arrested Daniel Adomako, known on social media as ‘Sir Obama Pokuase’, earlier today.
His arrest is part of ongoing intelligence-led operations by the Police and other security agencies aimed at dismantling networks involved in the illegal possession and display of sophisticated weapons. He is assisting investigations into some images and videos he circulated on social media depicting individuals openly brandishing these illegally acquired, sophisticated weapons.
These operations, which have been ongoing for several weeks, have led to the significant retrieval of a substantial number of illegal arms and ammunition.
In a related development, three other persons, Prince Ofori, Yayra Abiwu and Emmanuel Kwakye, are in the custody of the Police assisting the ongoing investigation into cases of threat of death and publication of false news following the recent helicopter crash.
The statement, signed by the Affairs Director of the police public affairs directorate, ACP Grace Akrofi-Ansah, reiterates the Police Service, unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens by rooting out criminal elements and preventing the proliferation of illegal arms.
We urge the public to continue providing credible information to assist us in these crucial operations. Further updates will be provided as the investigations progress, strictly adhering to due process.
