The Eastern North Regional Police Command has arrested three (3) suspects in connection with the transportation of five thousand, nine hundred and fifty (5,950) compressed and some non-compressed leaves suspected to be 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 28th May 2025 while ferrying the suspected narcotics across the lake.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspects were part of a larger operation led by a man identified only as Felix, who is believed to have boarded a separate boat enroute to the Akate area.
Exhibits retrieved from the suspects include one (1) pump-action shotgun, eighty-five (85) maxi sacks containing five thousand, nine hundred and fifty (5,950) pieces of compressed as well as some non-compressed substances suspected to be Indian hemp, two (2) outboard motors, and one (1) large engine boat.
Police are on a manhunt to arrest the said Felix and other accomplices linked to the case.
