Police have retrieved five sacks filled with dangerous drugs—including high-dose 'red' tramadol, Volume 10, and other illicit substances—as well as a pump-action shotgun from a 30-year-old trader at Sabon-Zongo, a suburb of Accra.
The suspect, Abdul Amidu Mohammed, is currently standing trial for unlawful possession of arms and illegal drugs.
Addressing the media on Monday, May 26, the Regional Police Commander, DCOP Duuti Tuaruku, revealed that the arrest and subsequent seizure were made possible through actionable intelligence provided by the Accra Regional Intelligence Team.
“The suspect has been arraigned before court and is facing charges related to the possession of illicit drugs and an unlicensed firearm,” DCOP Tuaruku stated.
The commander emphasised the importance of community cooperation in the ongoing nationwide crackdown on drugs and arms, calling on the public to remain vigilant and to report suspicious activities.
