Ghana to destroy over 4,000 illegal weapons in nationwide arms amnesty exercise

Ghana is set to destroy more than 4,000 illegal weapons as part of activities marking the International Women’s Day for Peace and Disarmament, in a move authorities say reinforces both national security efforts and transparency in arms control. The weapons, collected through a recent nationwide amnesty exercise, are currently being secured by the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons ahead of their final destruction.
