A total of 22 compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, an amount totaling GH¢400,000 and a counting machine have been confiscated by the police in its clampdown on narcotic operations, which resulted in the arrest of three persons.
Bright Ayivor, Ifeanyi Ijeoba, and Kwabena Botwe are in the custody of the Ghana Police Service for their alleged possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities in Dzorwulu, in the Accra metropolis.
According to police intelligence, a report was received on April 10, 2026, concerning a group of individuals who were planning to sell suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.
“A surveillance operation was mounted, and on April 11, 2026, a police team arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba, at the location. They were found with 22 compressed substances suspected to be cocaine,” part of the statement read.
Further interrogation led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe, as a key figure in the drug trade.
He was arrested at Caprice, and a search of his residence at Greda Estates retrieved GH¢400,000 and a counting machine.
Suspect Botwe attempted to bribe officers with an additional GH¢420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
The suspects are in police custody, assisting with investigations, and will be put before the court.
