The Eastern North Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects and seized a large quantity of suspected Indian hemp on the Volta Lake at Asuboni, near Kwahu Adawso in the Eastern Region. The suspects, Abraham Agonu, Michael Akuaku, and Confidence Amenuveve, were arrested on May 28, 2025, while transporting the suspected narcotics across the lake.
The police retrieved significant exhibits from the suspects, including one pump-action shotgun, 85 maxi sacks containing 5,950 pieces of compressed and non-compressed substances suspected to be Indian hemp, two outboard motors, and one large engine boat. Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspects were part of a larger operation led by a man identified as Felix, who escaped on a separate boat.
The police are currently on a manhunt to arrest Felix and other accomplices linked to the case. The operation highlights the police’s efforts to combat narcotics trafficking in the region. The suspects are currently in custody, and further investigations are ongoing to unravel the extent of the operation and the suspects’ involvement.
