The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with alleged narcotic drug possession and involvement in illegal drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.

According to a statement issued on Wednesday, April 15, the arrests followed an intelligence-led operation initiated after information was received on April 10, 2026, by the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police, indicating that a group was preparing to sell suspected narcotic substances in the Dzorwulu area.

Acting on the tip-off, police mounted surveillance and later moved in on April 11, arresting two suspects identified as Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.

The suspects were allegedly found with 22 compressed substances believed to be cocaine, reportedly prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.

Further interrogation led investigators to a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe, described as a key figure in the alleged drug network. He was subsequently arrested in a follow-up operation at Caprice during what police say was a monitored transaction involving proceeds from the suspected drug sales.

Police further disclosed that the suspect later led officers to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search uncovered GH¢400,000 in cash and a counting machine.

During the operation, he allegedly attempted to bribe officers with an additional GH¢420,000, which has been retained as evidence.

The total cash retrieved is being treated as part of ongoing investigations into suspected drug trafficking activities.

All three suspects are currently in police custody assisting investigations and are expected to be arraigned before court.

The Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to intelligence-led operations aimed at dismantling drug networks and curbing the circulation of narcotic substances in communities.
