The Police found an AK-47 in the MP's office on December 9, 2020, two days after the general elections, and at the time, the Northern Regional Secretary of the NDC said the party office was an open space and the weapon may not have been in the possession of the MP.
He also complained that no NDC official was invited by the police before the search was conducted.
The search followed some tragedy that occurred after a girl was shot a day after the election.
At the High Court in Tamale on July 31, 2023, the MP was acquitted on all charges against him.
