The Ghana Police Service has come under scrutiny for the dawn arrest of social media personality Daniel Adomako, popularly known as Sir Obama Pokuase. Adomako was arrested alongside three others as part of ongoing intelligence-led operations aimed at dismantling networks involved in the illegal possession and display of sophisticated weapons.
### Background of Arrest
The police confirmed that Adomako is assisting investigations into images and videos he circulated on social media depicting individuals openly brandishing illegally acquired firearms. The operations, which have been ongoing for several weeks, have led to the significant retrieval of a substantial number of illegal arms and ammunition.
### Concerns Over Treatment
However, concerns have been raised over the police’s handling of the situation. Many are questioning why Adomako was arrested at dawn if he is only assisting investigations. Additionally, some are wondering why the prosecution is asking the court to remand him into custody despite his cooperation.
Bail Granted
In a recent development, the Accra Circuit Court has granted bail to Sir Obama Pokuase and fellow accused, Fanti Comedy. Sir Obama Pokuase’s bail is set at GH₵50,000 with three sureties, while Fanti Comedy’s bail is set at GH₵100,000 with three sureties.
