Fire crackers
The Ghana Police Service (GPS) has instituted robust measures to tackle the importation of fire crackers, popularly known as ‘knockout,’ which disrupts public peace during Christmas.
This was revealed by Christian Tetteh Yohuno, the Director- General of Operations of the Ghana Police Service during the official launch of the service’s security initiative dubbed, ‘Operation Father Christmas 2016.’
He said the Police have observed that despite the numerous initiatives championed to clear the products from the Ghanaian market, some traders were still importing and selling them.
“The police administration views this development with serious concern and will clamp down on any individual or group of persons, who import and sell such fire crackers,” COP Tetteh Yohuno said.
The initiative, which was launched in Accra on Wednesday, aims at ensuring public safety throughout the Christmas season.
