The arms included anti-aircraft guns.\u00a0Other arms and ammunition seized were 11 AK 47 assault rifles, 10 G3s, 45 automatic sidearm, 9mm AK 47 tracer ammunition, one machine gun, one clocking handing, 45 automatic G3 ammunition, four firing pins and five 12.7mm ammunition.<\/p>\n
Sata was said to have mentioned Abdul Kadri Aria, another Ivorian, as the source of the arms supplies.<\/p>\n
According to the police, some of the automatic guns can fire continuously for six hours unless they are destroyed by rocket-propelled grenades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Speaking on these developments, the former National Security boss described the news as disturbing particularly\u00a0when the country will go to the polls in 2016.<\/p>\n
“It is worrisome if it is 1 million cartridges; but I noticed that it is the cartridges for the short gun . All the same, I would like to find out whether they were meant for local consumption or they went for re-smuggling outside Ghana. Everything that has to do with arms and ammunition being smuggled, and that is a cause for worry,” he said.<\/p>\n
