The Tema Regional Police Command has made a significant arrest in its fight against narcotics-related activities. On Sunday, October 25, 2026, at about 7:00 p.m., a police team conducted an operation at New York, near Airport Junction, and apprehended a 52-year-old man, Ibrahim Saani. The arrest was made based on intelligence that the suspect was allegedly involved in the possession and distribution of suspected narcotic substances.
During the operation, the police team retrieved a bag containing 37 parcels of compressed substances suspected to be Indian hemp and a crusher.
