An immigration officer has been arrested in connection with a shocking haul of ammunition allegedly destined for Walewale in northern Ghana. Authorities say the suspect was caught with 2,600 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, prompting concerns about illegal arms movement and the safety of local communities.
The arrest comes after security agencies received intelligence about suspicious activity involving the movement of ammunition. Acting on the tip-off, officers intercepted the suspect and recovered the large cache of bullets believed to be intended for distribution in and around Walewale.
Details are still emerging, but initial reports suggest that the immigration officer may have been using his position to facilitate the transport of the ammunition — a charge that could carry serious legal consequences if proven.
Security officials have not yet disclosed how the suspect obtained the ammunition or whether any accomplices are being sought. Investigations are ongoing as the police work to uncover the full scope of the operation.
The arrest has sparked alarm among residents and leaders in the region, with many expressing relief that the ammunition was intercepted before it reached its destination. Authorities say they remain committed to cracking down on illegal arms trafficking to protect public safety.
