Police arrest 31-year-old man over alleged firearms possession, death threats in Kpando

MyJoyOnline Ghana reports that a 31-year-old man, Saviour Dzadze, has been arrested by the Volta North Regional Police Command in Kpando for unlawful possession of firearms, cultivation of suspected narcotics, and death threats. The arrest took place on September 14 after a complaint was lodged on September 8 by Dzodzi Kofi Kpakpamipke, who alleged that Dzadze threatened to kill him with a firearm.

During the arrest, police recovered an AK-47 assault rifle, a pump-action shotgun, a locally manufactured single-barrel gun, 10 AAA Lion cartridges, and suspected narcotics during a search of Dzadze's residence. Police investigations suggest that Dzadze allegedly exchanged cultivated Indian hemp for the AK-47 rifle with an unidentified man from Togo.
