A gun amnesty program just got a final extension after some serious pushing. The Dagbon Advocacy Network praised the Interior Ministry for extending a firearm surrender initiative, calling it a positive response to their request. The ministry stated that additional time allows residents in remote areas like Dagbon to participate without fear. This extension aims to deepen community engagement and increase public awareness about the program.

Individuals can voluntarily hand over unlicensed weapons or register them without facing arrest or prosecution. The initial phase saw significant public cooperation across the country, but feedback indicated more time was needed. The network believes this extra period will help reduce illegal weapons and strengthen national peace. They urged residents, especially in northern sectors, to cooperate with security agencies.

The ministry clarified that this extension represents a final opportunity for compliance. Strict enforcement measures will resume immediately following the amnesty window. The government engaged with traditional authorities and civil society groups before making this decision. The program is designed to promote lasting stability by addressing the proliferation of illicit firearms.
