Robert Wisdom Cudjoe, has called for urgent national action to end the growing use of live ammunition during traditional festivals, warning that the dangerous practice has turned celebrations into deadly events.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Delivering a statement on the floor of Parliament, the MP described the indiscriminate firing of live ammunition at festivals as a &#8220;grave public security concern&#8221; that continues to claim innocent lives and leave families devastated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our traditional festivals are sacred pillars of our cultural heritage. They are meant to promote unity, honour our ancestors, preserve our traditions and foster community development. They should never become occasions of bloodshed and mourning,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the traditional practice of ceremonial musketry, which historically involved the use of blank gunpowder for symbolic gun salutes, has increasingly been replaced by the use of modern pistols, locally manufactured shotguns and even assault rifles loaded with live ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This dangerous trend is gradually transforming joyous cultural celebrations into scenes of bloodshed, mourning and fear. We are witnessing the reckless, unregulated and indiscriminate firing of live ammunition under the guise of traditional gun salutes,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Cudjoe reminded Parliament that the threat is no longer hypothetical, citing several fatal incidents recorded during festivals and funerals across the country in recent years, including the death of a Bimbilla Senior High School student during the Bugum Festival, fatalities during Homowo celebrations in Teshie, and the Ahwerease Odwira Festival shooting that left one person dead and four others injured.<\/p>\n<p>He also referenced the tragic incident at Ayanfuri in May 2026, where a sub-chief reportedly shot himself while testing the potency of a traditional charm during a funeral, as well as the deaths of two people during the Ga Homowo celebrations at Abossey Okai in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The MP noted that similar incidents occur almost every year, stressing that the repeated loss of lives demands immediate intervention.<\/p>\n<p>He further pointed to concerns raised by the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons, which has consistently warned that many firearms displayed and discharged during such events are unregistered, unlicensed and therefore illegal.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22286\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GUNS.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Calling for decisive action, Hon. Cudjoe urged the Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with Municipal and District Security Councils, to strictly enforce existing laws prohibiting the use of live ammunition at public festivals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any individual found discharging a firearm loaded with live rounds must be arrested and prosecuted without fear or favour,&#8221; he declared.<\/p>\n<p>He also appealed to the National House of Chiefs and traditional authorities to work closely with security agencies to sanitise festival celebrations by ensuring that only designated, vetted and licensed persons perform ceremonial musketry using blank gunpowder instead of live ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the legislator called on the Ministry of the Interior to review and strengthen the legal framework governing the ownership, possession and public use of small arms and light weapons to close loopholes that allow firearms to be misused during public gatherings.<br \/>\n&#8220;As the Member of Parliament for Prestea Huni Valley, a constituency that deeply values peace, safety and community cohesion, I stand here to say that one death is one too many,&#8221; he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by urging Parliament to act decisively to ensure that future festival seasons are remembered for &#8220;development, unity and cultural pride\u2014not for stray bullets, needless deaths and broken families.&#8221;<br \/>\nSome MPs who contributed to the statement in the chamber called for a stiffer licensing regime to ensure weapons are not left in the hands of criminals in the name of self protection.<\/p>\n<p>The Presiding Speaker, Hon Bernard Ahiafor referred the statement to the Defence and Interior Committee for further deliberation with the Sector Minister.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Source: Felix NYAABA\/\/ expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament for Prestea Huni Valley, Hon.
