Three arrested as Police retrieve cash and suspected cocaine in Accra
The Ghana Police Service picked up three suspects following a targeted narcotics operation in Accra, carried out after receiving intelligence on a planned drug transaction. The arrests relate to suspected possession of narcotic substances and involvement in illegal drug activities within the Accra metropolis. The operation was triggered on April 10 after intelligence reached the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector-General of Police about a planned sale in Dzorwulu.
On April 11, officers arrested Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba, who were found with 22 compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, allegedly being prepared for distribution. Interrogation of the two led investigators to a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe, believed to be a central figure in the operation. Kwabena Botwe was apprehended at Caprice during what police described as a planned exchange involving proceeds from the suspected drug deal. A search of Kwabena Botwe's residence at Greda Estates uncovered cash reportedly totalling GH¢400,000, along with a money-counting machine. During the arrest, the suspect allegedly attempted to offer an additional GH¢420,000 to officers as a bribe. The money has since been secured as evidence.
All three suspects remain in custody and are assisting with ongoing investigations. Police say they will be arraigned before court in due course.
