The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with other security agencies, has arrested Daniel Adomako, popularly known on social media as ‘Sir Obama Pokuase’.
His arrest, carried out on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, is part of ongoing intelligence-led operations targeting networks involved in the illegal possession and public display of sophisticated weapons.
According to the Police, Sir Obama Pokuase is assisting with investigations into images and videos he allegedly shared on social media, which depict individuals brandishing illegally acquired, high-grade firearms.
These operations, active for several weeks, have so far led to the seizure of a significant cache of illicit arms and ammunition.
In a related case, three other suspects — Prince Ofori, Yayra Abiwu, and Emmanuel Kwakye — are in custody over allegations of issuing death threats and spreading false news linked to the recent helicopter crash.
The Ghana Police Service reiterated its commitment to dismantling criminal networks and curbing the proliferation of illegal arms.
“We urge the public to provide credible information to support these critical operations,” the statement read, noting that updates will be shared as investigations progress by due process.
The statement was signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Grace Ansah-Akrofi, Director of Public Affairs.
Meanwhile, the police have arrested two TikTokers after a video went viral in which the two wished President John Dramani Mahama and his wife, Lordina Mahama die, similar to the helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, that killed some government officials and three military men.
According to a police statement, the suspects were picked up after the disturbing video, which circulated widely on social media, caught the attention of the authorities. In the footage, the pair allegedly issued explicit death threats, sparking public outrage and condemnation.
The two individuals arrested are identified as Prince Ofori and Yayra Abiwu, are in police custody, assisting with the ongoing investigation.
The Police Service stated that preliminary investigations revealed the suspects recorded and shared the video on the TikTok platform, with content deemed to violate Ghana’s laws on threats of harm and incitement to violence.
