The Ghana Police Service has arrested a suspect, Christopher Partey, for unlawful possession of substances believed to be narcotic drugs.
The arrest was made on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, by the National Highway Patrol Unit during a routine patrol operation along the Accra–Somanya corridor.
Officers intercepted a Ford Transit bus with registration number AS 524-16 near Ayikuma township and conducted a search of the vehicle.
During the inspection, police discovered 40 tightly wrapped parcels concealed in a fertilizer sack in the vehicle’s boot. Partey, who was a passenger on board the bus, admitted to being the owner of the items.
The suspected narcotics have been handed over to the Drug Law Enforcement Unit at the Police Headquarters for further examination and investigation.
The suspect is currently in police custody and will be arraigned in court following the conclusion of investigations. The Ghana Police Service says it remains committed to cracking down on drug-related crimes and ensuring public safety on highways.
