Police in Ghana have arrested two women after seizing over 1,600 slabs of suspected cannabis during a raid in the Eastern North Region.
The suspects, identified as Hawa Ibrahim and Latifa Adams, were apprehended on Wednesday, 14 May, in Ampekrom following an intelligence-led operation by the Eastern North Regional Police Command.
A search of Ms Ibrahim’s residence uncovered 24 maxi bags filled with compressed and ball-shaped substances believed to be Indian hemp, the Ghana Police Service said in a statement posted on Facebook.
Both women are currently in custody and assisting with ongoing investigations.
Police say the suspects will be processed through the judicial system in accordance with the law.
