    The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NACSA) has condemned the reckless misuse of firearms during traditional celebrations, following the tragic death of an 18-year-old girl at this year’s Fire Festival in Bimbilla, in the Northern Region.

    In a statement dated July 7, 2025, the Commission described the incident as a painful and preventable loss.

    “The Commission condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the presence and use of firearms during traditional festivals and celebrations. This tragedy, although accidental, was the result of a clear and direct violation of warnings issued ahead of the festival.

    “His Majesty the Yaa Naa, in his wisdom and foresight, publicly advised that no firearms should be brought to the celebration. The Commission also echoed this call, urging the public to honour our traditions in peace, not with gunfire. Yet, some people chose to ignore this—and now, a life is gone,” the statement read.

    The Commission further acknowledged that while culture is the soul of the Ghanaian people, the failure to be cautious, circumspect, and protective of one another during such occasions risks turning cherished traditions into deadly events.

    “We must not allow our traditional celebrations to be turned into grounds of death and mourning,” it stressed.

    NACSA also called on Parliament to expedite the passage of the National Arms Bill to enhance the regulation and control of arms in the country, noting that the safety of the Ghanaian people depends on effective legal mechanisms and collective responsibility.

    “Meanwhile, the Commission expects the National Arms Bill to be passed within the shortest possible time to ensure effective regulation and control of arms in the country,” it added.
