The Cyber Vetting Team at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters says it has arrested a suspect seen in a viral video discharging a firearm at a public event at the El-Wak Stadium, Accra on 28th December 2025.
This is contained in press release dated December 30.
“The suspect, identified as Abubakari Sadick, popularly known as “Cyborg,” was arrested on 29th December 2025 at Adenta for possession and discharging of firearm.
The weapon, a Derya MK-12 firearm, with registration number 22-GHA-1162, has been retrieved and secured as evidence,” parts of the release read.
“The suspect is currently in police custody, assisting with investigations, and will be put before the court to face justice,” it added.
The Ghana Police service cautioned the general public that “possessing a registered firearm does not give the holder the right to discharge it indiscriminately. Firearms licenses can be revoked and the individual can be charged accordingly.”
It is recalled that Sadick fired warning shots as a “gun salute” to Nigerian musician Asake and his friends at an event, as part of the December in GH activities on December 28.
He is reported to have told revelers that although warning shots are not allowed in Ghana, because Asake is his “brother from another mother” and visiting the country, he had to fire some shots to celebrate him.
He subsequently proceeded to place the gun on his shoulder and fired 10 shots into the air, much to the admiration of the onlookers.
