The suspect, Osman Abdul Majeed, was arrested on July 29, 2025, at the Tweapease Police Barrier near Obuasi during a routine vehicle search operation.
He was traveling on a Toyota minibus from Kumasi to Tarkwa when officers discovered an unregistered Bruni Model 92 pistol concealed in his backpack, loaded with three rounds of live 9mm ammunition.
Upon interrogation, the suspect stated that the firearm was handed to him in Tamale by one Awal, who instructed him to deliver it to an individual in Tarkwa.
