The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with a case of possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.

On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.

A surveillance operation was mounted, and on 11th April 2026, a police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.

The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.

Further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe, as a key figure in the drug trade.

A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.

The suspect later led police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of GH₵400,000 and a counting machine. During the operation, he allegedly attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GH₵420,000, which has been retained as evidence.

All the suspects are currently in police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
