Government has called on chiefs, religious leaders, and community groups to encourage voluntary surrender of illegal firearms as the Gun Amnesty programme is lauched

Launching the initiative, the Interior Minister, Muntaka Mubarak, highlighted the urgency of the situation, saying “I call upon our chiefs, elders, pastors, imams, opinion leaders, community associations, and the media to amplify this message.”

He urged citizens to see the initiative as a way to build safer communities.

“Every firearm surrendered is one less tool of destruction, one less weapon in the hands of criminals, and one more step toward a peaceful Ghana.”

The Minister also announced additional measures to reduce firearm misuse during traditional celebrations.

Mr. Mubarak stressed that the programme is not punitive but a life-saving initiative.

“Ghana’s destiny is too precious to be stolen by bullets. Our children deserve playgrounds, not battlegrounds. Our families deserve laughter, not funerals.”

The Gun Amnesty runs from 1st December 2025 to 15th January 2026, with designated collection points across the country.
