The Ghana Police Service has arrested an NPP activist, Daniel Adomako, popularly known on social media as ‘Sir Obama Pokuase’, in an intelligence-led operation targeting the illegal possession and public display of sophisticated weapons.
The arrest, carried out earlier today in collaboration with other security agencies, follows the circulation of images and videos allegedly shared by Mr. Adomako on social media.
The footage is said to depict individuals openly brandishing high-grade firearms.
Police say Mr. Adomako is currently assisting investigators with inquiries into the material he posted, which is believed to be linked to a wider criminal network.
The operation, which has been underway for several weeks, has already led to the recovery of a significant quantity of illegal arms and ammunition.
While the crackdown has also seen three other suspects detained over separate allegations of threats of death and false news publication, security officials emphasise that Mr. Adomako’s arrest is central to dismantling groups involved in circulating such dangerous weapons.
On August 12, the Service arrested two suspects in connection with a viral TikTok video in which an individual allegedly threatens to kill President John Mahama before the end of 2025 and behead First Lady Lordina Mahama.
The two suspects, identified as Prince Ofori and Yayra Abiwu, were in custody and are assisting with the ongoing investigation.
The viral clip, which has been circulating widely on social media, contains explicit threats in the Twi language by a female.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed that while these two individuals have been detained, efforts are underway to identify and apprehend other persons believed to be connected to the video to assist with their inquiries.
