The Upper East Regional Police Command has arrested an officer of the Ghana Immigration Service, AICO1 Ahmed Abdul Samad, over his alleged involvement in the transportation of 2,600 rounds of live AK-47 ammunition intercepted in the Ashanti Region.
Police sources say the suspect, a native of Nalerigu, is currently stationed at the Paga Sector Command of the Immigration Service. During interrogation, AICO1 Abdul Samad denied any knowledge of the ammunition but confirmed that he was transferred in June 2025 from the Tema Regional Immigration Headquarters, where he previously served as a dispatch rider.
According to the suspect, he left behind some personal items, including a body armour plate and an old pair of black long boots, during his relocation. He told investigators that on December 26, 2025, he contacted a colleague identified as Isaac, an Immigration officer based at the Service’s headquarters in Accra, to send the items.
The incident dates back to December 26, 2025, when police officers mounted at the Kantanso–Asankare barrier in the Ashanti Region stopped an OA bus travelling from Accra to Paga. A thorough search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 2,600 rounds of live AK-47 ammunition concealed in two containers.
