The security analyst, Colonel Festus Aboagye, has accused the police of being truthful about the type of pistols that were intercepted in the port of Tema in October.
This comes after the Police said that the illegal shipment that was unanimously confirmed by officers of the Police, the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and the GRA Customs Division as pistols, has now been converted into gas pistols.
In response to Thursday night’s information from Joy FM, the security analyst questioned the new findings of the Ghana Police Service on the seized property.
In his opinion, the representatives of the various security agencies that inspected the shipment had the necessary expertise to determine whether the weapons were gas pistols or pistols.
So it is very surprising that the police, after a month of seizing the illegal weapon, come up with another conclusion.
“In short, the security agencies must clarify, because this makes the institutional and professional experience uncomfortable. When I have an AK 47, I can say that it is an AK 47, I don’t need to go to Russia and find out who made it under license or otherwise. When you hold an American AR 15 you will know it is an American AR 15, look at the ammunition and its features will tell you.
“So I don’t understand how professionals, and not just one of them, but several of them from different institutions, can look at articles and tell Ghanaians that ‘we’re looking at guns’ and then several weeks later come and say that’s what gas rifles, “he said.
The analyst, however, noted that weapons, whether gas or otherwise, can be lethal when fired.
“Even without any modifications, if I point that gas pistol at you at a distance and shoot your vital organs, you will die. So we should not confuse the problems.
“These weapons, no matter what they are, add to or could add to the insecurities we all face.”
