Haleem Banda has told the court trying him that he bought his live ammunitions from the Police.
Banda, son of Alhaji Asuman Banda, however, said he could not mention the name of the Police officer neither could he tell how much he bought the ammunitions at the Cantonments Police station seven years ago.
Banda is being held on charges of threat of death and possessing firearm and ammunition without lawful authority.
Haleem pleaded not guilty and the court remanded him into police custody.
Answering questions under cross-examination Detective Lance Corporal Devine Tornuh, the investigator said Banda’s assertion that he bought the ammunitions from the Police could not be true because the Police did not sell ammunitions to the public.
Lance Corporal Tornuh said he did not issue a search warrant to the accused after he and eight personnel had gone to Banda’s residence at Tesano in Accra for a search.
The investigator, who is also the eight prosecution witness, said during the search, nine blank ammunitions, four pistol ammunitions and pistol holster were found and tendered them in evidence.
Witness said when he questioned him about the ammunition he did not utter a word.
On the pump action gun, witness stated that the accused said he had given the gun to his girlfriend called Alice, whom he said did not know the way to her house.
The investigator said when accused was questioned he stated that he did not have his girlfriend’s telephone number.
When Mr Addo Attuah, counsel for the accused challenged Lance Corporal Tornu of failing to conduct a thorough investigation, witness maintained that he did conduct a thorough investigations and he could not have jump to conclusions.
