In the Volta Region, police have arrested two suspects in connection with alleged illegal firearms and cannabis offenses. One suspect, Saviour Dzadze, was arrested at the Kpando Circuit Court premises on October 14, 2026, following allegations of death threats, unlawful possession of firearms, and cannabis cultivation. A search at a suspected hideout yielded an AK-47 assault rifle, a pump-action gun, a locally manufactured single-barrel gun, ammunition, and suspected cannabis, according to the police. Dzadze reportedly implicated his brother and another individual in the possession of the firearms. In a separate incident, Marine Police arrested 31-year-old Vincent Lotsu on September 13, 2026, for alleged unlawful cultivation and possession of suspected cannabis at Mangoase. Officers discovered a plantation and sacks of dried leaves believed to be cannabis. Both suspects are in custody assisting with investigations, and the police command has vowed to intensify efforts against criminal activities in the region.
