The Western Regional Office of the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons led by Mr. Paul Akwasi Baami, the Acting Head, engaged over 100 congregants at the Kojokrom Central Mosque on 8 May 2026.

The sensitisation session was held to educate congregants on the security, social and moral consequences of illicit arms possession and trafficking within communities.

Addressing the congregation, Mr. Baami stressed that preventing the spread of illicit small arms requires collective responsibility and stronger community vigilance. He further stated that faith-based institutions, especially mosques, have a critical role to play in promoting peace, tolerance and non-violence."

Referencing Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:32, congregants were reminded of the importance Islam places on the sanctity of human life, justice, and peaceful coexistence as they were urged to promote a gun-violence-free Ghana.
