The Ghana Police Service has announced the arrest of some 26 persons for brandishing and indiscriminate firing of toy guns.

Over the past week, some young people in the Ashanti Region have been playing with toy guns as they reminisce about their childhood and some games they played during Christmas.

The toy gun games have now gone viral on social media, with several people joining in the fun.

However, the Ghana Police Service has indicated that the games are in contravention of the constitution of the country and has since arrested some 26 young people who have been involved.
