COP Alhaji Seidu Lansah (Chief of Sing) issued a critical security directive today (14/07/26) at the Gbewaa Palace concerning weapon management during the impending funeral rites of the late Overlord of Dagbon.

Addressing stakeholders at the palace, Chief Sing Lana, COP Alhaji Seidu Lansah, issued a stern caution to the public against the possession, display, and use of illicit and sophisticated firearms during the traditional funeral processions.

Reflecting on the legacy of the late King of Dagbon, who was himself a dedicated advocate for a gun-free society, the Chief emphasised that honouring the late King requires absolute adherence to peaceful, weapon-free funeral procession.

To ensure public safety, COP Seidu affirmed that the police administration is fully mobilized to enforce a zero-tolerance of sophisticated weapons policy throughout the period. He stated that traditional firearms are permitted but cautioned that law enforcement personnel will monitor all gatherings and swiftly arrest, disarm, and prosecute any individual found carrying unauthorized or sophisticated weapons.

The engagement was attended by Senior Programmes Officer, Mr. Abdurahim Mohammed Mutaka at the Yendi Office of the Commission

NACSA highly commends this proactive stance by the traditional authority and the police administration.
