During a targeted operation in the Northern Regional capital, the suspect was reportedly found with 2,250 wraps of a substance suspected to be cannabis, as well as quantities of opioids.
NACOC officials said the arrest is part of ongoing efforts to clamp down on the illegal drug trade in the region.
