‘Seized weapons’ in Kumasi: Police invite NPP to provide facts

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has extended an invitation to the executives of the New Patriotic Party for assistance to trace vehicles allegedly seized by the military for carrying weapons.

The police say preliminary investigation into the allegation of arms stockpiling made by the NPP has failed to establish the facts. The Police have thus asked the NPP to name the police station where the incident was reported and identify the house where the arms were lodged.

However, the Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Tanko, told TV3 they would liaise with the 4BN Brigade in Kumasi, which was said to have custody of the said weapons. Executives of the NPP in Kumasi at a news conference Friday alleged the military in the region impounded large cache of weapons allegedly from a known member of the National Democratic Congress in the Ashanti Region.

They claimed the weapons were seized from the said NDC man, Cobson of Asuoyeboah SSNIT Flats with house number AH 2015S Thursday night following a tip-off by some NPP agents.
