The Tema Regional Police Command has apprehended a 29-year-old woman, Sophia Amankwa, for the unlawful possession of substances suspected to be narcotic drugs at Dogo Junction near Ada in the Greater Accra Region.
The arrest, according to a police statement, took place on 25 June 2025, following the interception of a tipper truck with registration number GW 9768-12.
The driver of the vehicle reportedly fled the scene, abandoning the truck.
A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered a substantial quantity of suspected narcotics: 3,900 compressed and cello-taped slabs packed in 52 sacks. The substances are believed to be Indian hemp.
Preliminary investigations have established that Sophia Amankwa is the owner of the suspected narcotics.
She is currently in police custody and assisting with further investigations.
Meanwhile, the police have launched a manhunt for the driver of the vehicle and other possible accomplices.
The Tema Regional Police Command has reaffirmed its commitment to intensifying efforts to clamp down on drug trafficking and other related offences in the region.
