The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has arrested several suspected drug traffickers following a major anti-drug operation conducted across parts of the Greater Accra and Oti regions over the weekend.
In a Facebook post on Monday, May 18, NACOC said the intelligence-led operations formed part of its intensified nationwide campaign to clamp down on illicit drug trafficking and substance abuse activities.
According to the Commission, the raids targeted known drug dens in areas including Kisseiman, Dome, and Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region.
NACOC disclosed that officers retrieved quantities of suspected narcotic substances and other incriminating materials during the exercise.
The Commission further revealed that another major operation was conducted at Alavanyo in the Oti Region, where additional suspects were arrested and suspected drugs seized.
It noted that the operations are aimed at identifying and dismantling criminal networks involved in the distribution of illegal drugs, particularly within densely populated urban communities.
“All suspects arrested during the raids are currently assisting with investigations pending prosecution,” the statement said.
NACOC reaffirmed its commitment to combating the growing drug menace in the country and warned individuals involved in the illegal drug trade to desist or face the full rigours of the law.
The Commission also assured the public of its resolve to continue working tirelessly to identify and clean up criminal networks linked to illicit drug distribution across the country.
