The police on Friday, 3 December 2021, arrested six suspects for their involvement in an illegal AK-47 transaction.

The first suspect, Alhassan Jamah, was arrested near Osino by the National Operations Directorate Highway patrol during a stop-and-search operation.

An AK-47 rifle with 12 rounds of ammunition was found hidden in his travel bag on a Bawku-bound Yutong bus.

An intelligence-led operation later led to the arrest of five more suspects: Bashiru Salifu, Kassim Aninga, Mohammed Asako, Salifu James and Ibrahim Mohammed, for their involvement in the illegal transaction.
