Executive Secretary of the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCSALW), Jones Borteye Applerh, has noted that Ghanaians now acquire guns and other weapons to symbolize their social status or fashion statement.

He further disclosed that there have been an increase in the demand for firearms in the country as a result of a general sense of insecurity.

He stated, “the reason people are owning weapons has changed completely. In the past, people were interested in farming, hunting, recreation, etc. What has changed now is that people see the possession of arms as a status symbol or fashion statement.”

“The issue about small arms possession is linked to every society’s development; as society grows and people become wealthier, they seek means to protect their properties,” he added.
