AfroFuture ‘Gunman’ Convicted, Licence Revoked – CID Confirms
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has confirmed that Abubakar Sadick, popularly known as Cyborg, has been convicted and fined GH¢24,000 for unlawfully discharging a firearm at the AfroFuture concert in Accra.
His conviction follows his arrest a day earlier, after a video circulated on social media showing him firing multiple shots during the event.
In the footage, Sadick admitted his actions were unlawful but claimed he discharged the weapon in honour of Nigerian artiste Asake, who was performing at the festival.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, December 31, CID Director-General COP Lydia Yaako Donkor confirmed that the fine has been fully paid. She also revealed that the court has revoked Sadick’s firearm licence, emphasising that discharging a weapon in public—even if licensed—is a serious offence under Ghanaian law.
