The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested three persons for the unlawful possession and transportation of 2,600 rounds of AK-47 ammunition at the Kantanso–Asankare Police Barrier in the Ashanti Region.
The suspects, Kwame Afram, a bus driver, and Godfred Essel, his mate, were arrested on December 26, 2025, after police intercepted a Kia Granbird bus (GT 5771-18) travelling from Accra through Walewale to Paga.
A search of the vehicle uncovered two concealed containers loaded with the ammunition.
A third suspect, Mohammed Sisu, 21, believed to be the recipient, was arrested at Walewale on December 27, 2025, when he arrived to collect the consignment.
Police also retrieved two bulletproof plates, a crushed black helmet and a pair of long boots hidden under the driver’s seat.
The suspects are in police custody, assisting investigations, while the bus and all exhibits have been impounded.
