The Police have placed a ¢5,000 bounty for information leading to the arrest of a man who was seen in a viral video firing a gun in public.
In the video, the man was seen firing an AK 47 several times into the air at A&C Mall, East Legon on December 31, 2021, purportedly to welcome the New Year.
In a statement, the Police said the action by the man is against Section 209 of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29) which barres a person from discharging a firearm in public without lawful and necessary occasion.
The Police have, therefore, called on persons with information on the man to report to them for his arrest and further prosecution.
