Ghana: Response To Govt Moratorium on Unlicensed Arms Said Discouraging GHANA BROADCASTING CORPORATION RADIO 1 Saturday, February 10, 2001 Reports say response has not been encouraging to the government's two-week moratorium for all unlicensed weapons to be handed over to the police. Sources close to the police said nine days since the order, few stations in Accra have either one or two weapons handed over while others had nothing. Our Ashanti Region correspondent said nobody has complied with the directive. He said the police have appealed to all concerned to take advantage of the moratorium without any fear of intimidation. He, however, warned that they would clamp down on all those with unlicensed weapons after the deadline, adding that they have information on such persons. All those who additional information are urged to disclosed it to the police as their identity will be kept secret.
