A video [attached below] shared on social media shows the said young man firing several shots of a firearm suspected to be an AK 47.
The video shows the man holding the gun with only his right hand, pointing it upwards and firing it indiscriminately into the air.
While still firing the gunshots, another young man ran from the scene to hug him and they both burst into laughter.
Well, while they may have thought that they were celebrating a successful crossover into 2022, the police have taken a serious view of their conduct and declared him wanted.
