Two drivers are in the grips of the Volta North Regional Police Command for carrying dried substances suspected to be Indian Hemp.
Akyereme George, 43, and Benjamin Akpado, 23, were arrested on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
Inspector Felix Kwao, the Volta North Regional Public Relations Officer, in a release copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), disclosed that the suspects were in vehicles with registration numbers GE-8254-13 and AW-4321-14 heading toward Kpando.
He said the suspects, upon seeing the Police Patrol car, attempted to flee by speeding into the nearby bush, but the police apprehended them.
Inspector Kwao said a search conducted in the vehicles revealed 20 sacks containing 680 pieces of dried leaves in white rubber bags.
He said the suspects were currently in police custody, assisting the investigation, while efforts were underway to arrest the owners of the substance to face the full rigours of the law.
Inspector Kwao assured the public of the Command’s continuous efforts to eradicate drug trafficking activities in the region.
