A police operation to clamp down on illicit drug dealers and criminal gangs in the East Legon enclave has led to the arrest of 120 suspects, including six women.
Following the arrests, the suspects were taken to the East Legon Police Station for screening to identify those connected to specific crimes and others suspected of dealing in illicit drugs.
“The operation was led by ACP Saviour Ahiamadi and supported by other senior officers, including DSP Malaika-Jibril Alhassan, DSP Richard Beriko, ASP Afram and ASP Sarpong, all from Police Headquarters, as well as ASP Imoro from the Accra Region,” a police report said.
The exercise was carried out through a joint operation involving personnel from the Police Intelligence Directorate, the Criminal Investigations Department, the National Operations Directorate, and the Accra and East Legon regional commands, among others.
