The Volta Regional Police Command has arrested 26 individuals in connection with drug-related offences following a targeted operation near the Aflao border.
The arrests, which took place on Saturday, May 24, 2025, were the result of an intelligence-led crackdown aimed at disrupting suspected drug trafficking and related criminal activities in the border enclave.
According to DSP Felix Danku, the Regional Public Relations Officer, the operation led to the seizure of a range of illicit substances and paraphernalia.
Confiscated items included 20 wraps of suspected Indian hemp, 12 sachets of Tramadol tablets, a rubber bucket containing dried leaves believed to be Indian hemp, GHS 30,558.00 in cash, 17,500 CFA francs, six drug-laced toffees, eight creams suspected to contain narcotics, and 26 compressed parcels of suspected Indian hemp hidden in a fertiliser sack.
All 26 suspects are currently in police custody and are expected to be arraigned before court in the coming days.
The Volta Regional Police Command has reiterated its commitment to clamping down on drug trafficking and dismantling criminal networks, particularly in border communities known to be high-risk zones for illegal activity.
