The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with the possession of narcotic drugs and involvement in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence about a group planning to sell suspected narcotic drugs in Dzorwulu, Accra.
A surveillance operation was immediately launched.
The following day, April 11, 2026, a police team moved in and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba, at the scene.
The two were found in possession of 22 compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which they were reportedly preparing for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation of the suspects led investigators to a third individual, Kwabena Botwe, described as a key figure in the drug trade.
A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest, following surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected narcotics.
Botwe later led police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search uncovered GH₵400,000 in cash and a money-counting machine.
During the operation, he allegedly attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GH₵420,000. That amount has also been retained as evidence.
All three suspects remain in police custody, assisting with investigations, and will be arraigned before the court shortly.
