Police in a dramatic but entirely satirical operation have arrested a man described online as an “NPP robber” and former Invisible Forces executive after he was allegedly found in possession of a so-called modern sophisticated weapon.
According to tongue-in-cheek police briefings circulating on social media, the weapon is a locally-forged Mk I Village Negotiator™, reportedly featuring dual-barrel kinetic persuasion modules, hand-welded intimidation brackets, and zero-day ergonomics. Authorities jokingly described its firing system as “morale-driven,” boasting a 99% psychological uptime and, unsurprisingly, no user manual.
The mock description further claims the device spots two .38 “olonka” round barrels, allegedly powered by a creative blend of engine oil and palm oil (original zomi) — a detail that has fueled widespread laughter and memes across Ghanaian social media platforms.
In perhaps the most viral claim, the weapon is said to double as a multi-purpose domestic appliance, capable of being “filled with LPG to cook beans,” blurring the line between satire, folklore, and internet comedy.
The suspect, according to the parody narrative, had planned to use the contraption in the near future to snatch ballot boxes during NPP primaries. This fictional allegation triggered an even more exaggerated police response.
“In view of the extreme sophistication of this weapon,” the satirical statement added, “the public is advised to stay away from the NPP until the year 2054.”
The story, clearly intended as political satire, has gone viral for its absurdity and exaggerated commentary on election security, political vigilantism, and homemade weapons narratives that often dominate online discourse during election seasons.
Observers are urging readers to treat the story as comedy, not journalism, noting that no such police advisory or weapon exists, and that the content is meant purely for entertainment.
