Police in Ghana have threatened to arrest and prosecute anyone who uses "dangerous" firecrackers during the festive season, in a move aimed at preventing deaths and injuries.
Police Personnel will once again be deployed to enforce the ban on the use of explosives by arresting individuals who flout it over the Christmas festive period.
The Police in a statement reminded of the prohibition of explosives in the country per the Executive Instrument (E.I) 21 of 1999.
Their use was banned under a 1999 "executive instrument", and law-enforcement officers have been ordered "to arrest any person or group of persons" who defied it, assistance police commissioner David Eklu said in a statement.
The commissioner explains that the ban is not taking out the joy of Christmas because it is only the dangerous firecrackers that have been banned.
