Prison officials at the James Camp Prison have arrested two individuals. They are accused of trying to bring a large quantity of illegal substances into the prison.
The suspects were caught with 15 large sacks. These sacks contained dried leaves, which officials suspect are cannabis commonly known as 'wee'.
The arrests happened during a routine search conducted by prison officers. This search is part of the security measures to prevent contraband from entering the prison.
The illegal substances were meant to be smuggled inside the prison walls. Authorities are investigating the intended recipients.
Both suspects were taken into custody by prison officials. They will face legal proceedings for their alleged actions.
This incident highlights ongoing efforts by prison authorities to maintain security and prevent the flow of illicit items within correctional facilities.
The Ghana Prison Service stated that such attempts will be met with swift action. They are committed to keeping the prison environment safe.
