The public is urged to voluntarily turn them over or face dire repercussions.
The statewide exercise, which will take place from December 1, 2025, to January 15, 2026, is hailed as a critical step in combating the spread of illegal firearms.
The campaign, according to authorities, is intended to stop the increasing gun-related violence and stop more community insecurity.
Through the Gun Amnesty Initiative, citizens can turn in illegal or undocumented firearms without fear of prosecution.
Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, the interior minister, issued a warning at the start of the campaign, stating that anyone found in possession of illicit firearms after the grace period would be subject to severe penalties.
Mr. Mohammed-Mubarak had earlier, on October 27, 2025, expressed the government’s resolve to deal with the growing flow of illegal weapons.
He affirmed that stringent restrictions on the importation and sale of firearms would accompany the six-week gun amnesty, which would start on November 11, 2025.
The initiative’s main objective, according to the Ministry, is to dramatically lower the quantity of illicit weapons in use while bolstering social stability and national security.
According to officials, they are still optimistic that the exercise will significantly help create a safer Ghana for everybody.
