NACOC arrests suspected drug traffickers in major raids across Greater Accra and Oti Regions
The Narcotics Control Commission has arrested several suspected drug traffickers following coordinated anti-narcotics operations carried out across parts of the Greater Accra and Oti Regions over the weekend.
In a Facebook statement 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.
According to the Commission, the raids targeted known drug hotspots in areas including Kisseiman, Dome, and Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region.
During the operations, officers reportedly retrieved quantities of suspected narcotic substances and other incriminating materials.
NACOC also confirmed that a separate operation in Alavanyo in the Oti Region led to additional arrests and the seizure of suspected drugs.
The Commission explained that the exercises are aimed at dismantling criminal networks involved in the distribution of illegal drugs, especially 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 fighting the drug menace and warned individuals engaged in illicit drug activities to desist or face the full force of the law.
The Commission further assured the public of continued operations to identify and dismantle drug trafficking networks across the country.
