Police source narrated that, “On 10th April 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra”.
“A surveillance operation was mounted, and on 11th April 2026, a police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba. The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two (22) compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.” They said.
They indicated that, further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe, as a key figure in the drug trade. A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
The suspect later led police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of an amount of GH¢400,000 and a counting machine. During the operation, he attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GHc420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
However, all the suspects are in police custody assisting investigations and will be arraigned before the court.
