The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested a man for the unlawful possession of a foreign pistol and ammunition.
Osman Abdul Majeed, the suspect, was apprehended on July 29, 2025, at the Tweapease Police Barrier near Obuasi in the Ashanti Region during a routine vehicle search operation.
A press release said: “He was on board a Toyota minibus travelling from Kumasi to Tarkwa when officers discovered an unregistered Bruni Model 92 pistol concealed in his backpack.”
The weapon was loaded with three rounds of live 9mm ammunition.
During interrogation, Majeed stated that the firearm was handed to him in Tamale by one Awal, who instructed him to deliver it to an individual in Tarkwa, the release said.
“He was also unable to produce any documentation authorising possession or transport of the weapon,” it said.
The suspect is currently in police custody and will be put before the court to face justice, the release added.
Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing to trace the origin of the weapon, identify and arrest all persons connected to the case.
