The Committee after its investigations found no culprit, but named DSP Patrick Akagbo as a key suspect because he kept the key to the exhibits room. It however admitted that the officer knew little about organized crime.President Kufuor subsequently set up another three-member committee on May 24, 2008 under the chairmanship of another lawyer, Mr Kojo Zwenes to review the Kojo Armah Committee report and submit its report to him in two weeks.The Kibi and Nsawam police on a joint operation impounded the 399 parcels of cocaine in a vehicle with registeration number GT 3359 Z.
