The Member of Parliament for Savelugu, Alhaji Jacob Iddris Wunbenkpan, has been acquitted by the Tamale High Court.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP faced two counts of unlawful firearm possession.
On July 31, 2023, the court released the MP as he pleaded not guilty to any of the two charges.
It will be recalled that on December 9, 2020, state prosecutors said they found an AK-47 rifle and 60 rounds of ammunition in an office that belonged to the MP.
The NDC rejected this, stating emphatically that its offices are open and the weapons might have been planted there deliberately.
After several months of absence, Alhaji Wunbenkpan was summoned following a bench warrant issued by the presiding judge Justice Richard Kogyapwah.
The NDC supporters and the police in April this year, following the court case against the MP, clashed at the Tamale High Court in seeking justice for Mr Wunbenkpan.
