At Liero, a town close to the Burkina Faso border, a joint patrol team of Ghana Police Service and Immigration police seized 981 bags of compressed substance believed to be marijuana.
The service was able to intercept the alleged drugs after receiving intel.
The service allegedly conducted a raid on a man’s (name withheld) Liero house.
The team found that the majority of the rooms were loaded with bags containing what was thought to be marijuana.
The crew sent the 981 parcels containing the suspicious chemicals to the border station in Hamile for additional investigation and action.
Part of the statement stated that “the respective state security agencies will be called to examine the exhibits to determine the validity of our serious hunch about what the material is truly.”
In order to help with the inquiry and take the necessary action, “frantic attempts are being made in the meantime to apprehend those associated to the stopped material,” it was noted.
While acknowledging the excellent relationship with the residents, it stated, “We desire to gently inform the few unrepentant ones not to stand in our way. The only options are for them to change or for us to change them.
