POLICE ARREST THREE IN ACCRA DRUG OPERATION

The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with possession of narcotic drugs and prohibited drug-related activities in the Accra metropolis.

Acting on intelligence received on April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police was informed that a group of individuals were planning to sell suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.

Following a surveillance operation, a Police team moved to the area on April 11 and arrested two suspects — Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba — who were found in possession of 22 compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, believed to have been prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.

Subsequent interrogation led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe, described as a key figure in the drug trade. A follow-up surveillance operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest during a planned transaction involving alleged proceeds from the drug sale.

Botwe subsequently led investigators to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search yielded GH¢400,000 in cash and a currency counting machine. During the operation, he allegedly attempted to bribe arresting officers with an additional GH¢420,000, which has been retained as evidence.

All three suspects are in Police custody assisting investigations and are expected to be arraigned before court.
