The Ghana Police Service, in a joint operation with other security agencies, has arrested social media personality Daniel Adomako, popularly known as Sir Obama Pokuase, as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle networks involved in the illegal possession and display of sophisticated weapons.
According to a statement signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the arrest took place earlier today and forms part of intelligence-led operations that have been underway for several weeks. The Police say Adomako is assisting with investigations into images and videos he allegedly circulated on social media showing individuals openly brandishing illegally acquired high-powered weapons.
The statement noted that the operations have so far led to the retrieval of a substantial number of illegal arms and ammunition from various locations.
In a related development, three other individuals — Prince Ofori, Yayra Abiwu and Emmanuel Kwakye — are in police custody. They are being investigated in connection with threats of death and the publication of false news following the recent helicopter crash that claimed multiple lives.
The Police Service reiterated its commitment to ensuring public safety by tackling the spread of illegal arms and apprehending criminal elements. Authorities are calling on the public to provide credible information to support these ongoing operations.
“Further updates will be provided as investigations progress, strictly adhering to due process,” the statement concluded.
