The Ghana Police Service has arrested Abubakari Sadick, popularly known as “Cyborg,” an Accra New Town street king, after he was seen in a viral video brandishing and discharging a firearm at a public social event held at the El-Wak Stadium in Accra.
According to the police, the arrest was carried out by the Cyber Vetting Team at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters following investigations into a video that circulated on social media showing the suspect firing a gun at the stadium on December 28, while welcoming Nigerian artist Asake.
In a press release dated December 30, the police said the incident occurred during the AfroFuture Festival, which was held at the El-Wak Stadium.
The suspect was arrested a day following the incident, on December 29, 2025, at Adenta, for possession and discharging of a firearm.

Sadick is currently in police custody, assisting with investigations, and is expected to be put before the court to face justice.
The Ghana Police Service also cautioned the public against the indiscriminate use of firearms, stressing that holding a valid licence does not permit unlawful discharge.
