Authorities have arrested a man believed to be 45 years old. The Narcotics Control Commission made the arrest. He was taken into custody in Tepa, a town in the Ashanti Region.
The man was allegedly found in possession of 20 large sacks. These sacks contained dried cannabis, a controlled substance. The seizure was made by officers from the Narcotics Control Commission.
The exact amount of cannabis is not yet specified. However, the quantity was significant enough to fill 20 sacks. This led to the man's immediate apprehension.
The arrest took place on May 29, 2026. This date is confirmed by official reports. Police are preparing to present the case to the judicial system.
The man is expected to appear before a court of law. This is where formal charges will be read. The court will then decide on the next steps of the legal process.
This operation was conducted by the Narcotics Control Commission. They are Ghana's primary agency for fighting illegal drugs.
Possession of illicit substances like cannabis is against the law in Ghana. Penalties can include fines and imprisonment.
The commission continues its work to stop the flow of illegal drugs across the country. This arrest is part of those ongoing efforts.
