Police in Tema have arrested a 52-year-old man, identified as Ibrahim Saani, in connection with the seizure of 37 parcels of substances suspected to be narcotic drugs.
The suspect was apprehended on October 25, 2026, by the Zenu-Atadeka District Police Patrol Team while carrying the substances concealed in a “Ghana Must Go” bag. According to the police, the exhibits were retrieved and conveyed to the station for further investigation. The suspected drugs have since been sent for forensic examination.
Saani, who resides at Akim Ayirebi in the Eastern Region, was expected to be put before court on October 27, 2026. The police said he allegedly disguised himself as a person with mental illness to avoid attracting suspicion. The police have urged neighbourhood watch committees and other community groups to support efforts to combat crime by providing credible information to law enforcement agencies.
