That Nsawam-Adoagyiri constituency is becoming a notorious place for carrying out illegal things. Before the election, a man was also arrested in possession of one of EC's missing electoral computers, and today, illegal firearms. God only knows what the next arrested person would be carrying. The law must work better to limit these security threats.
