Police have arrested a 40-year-old man, Roger Borbobli, after allegedly finding 91 parcels of substances suspected to be Indian hemp in his possession at the VIP Bus Terminal at Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.
According to MyJoyOnline and Citi Newsroom, the arrest was made on 29 October 2026 by officers from the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector-General of Police, after information that the suspect had been seen at the terminal with 3 suitcases.
Police said loading boys at the terminal noticed an unusual smell from the suitcases and alerted officers, who arrested the suspect and retrieved the suitcases containing 91 parcels of compressed dried leaves.
During interrogation, the suspect allegedly told investigators he was a farmer from Sovie Kudzra, near Kpando in the Volta Region, and said he had obtained the parcels from another farmer from the same community.
The exhibits are to be sent to the Police Forensic Crime Laboratory for analysis. Police said the suspect remains in custody assisting investigations and is expected to be put before court.
No charge has yet been reported, and the suspect is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
