Accra, June 26, Ghanadot/GNA

the sale of dangerous implements, such as small axes, jack
knives and other sharp weapons along the streets.

to break into rooms, threaten the lives of people and rob
them of their valuables,” a statement issued in Accra by the
Director of Public Affairs, Deputy Superintendent of Police
Kwesi Ofori, said.
The police said these implements, which are normally
displayed openly under traffic lights and on pavements,
posed threat and danger to the lives of the general public
and therefore called on traders of such implements to desist
from selling in the open.

public could call as part of measures to ensure effective
communication and reduce crime and violence.
