The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On 10 April 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to sell suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu. A surveillance operation was mounted, and on 11 April, a Police team arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba, who were found with 22 compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe, as a key figure in the drug trade. A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
Police later searched his residence at Greda Estates, retrieving GH¢400,000 and a counting machine. During the operation, Botwe attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GH¢420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
All three suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
