The Ghana Police Service has arrested two men after seizing assorted wax print fabrics suspected to be counterfeit GTP products, with an estimated value of GH¢20 million, at Adabraka in Accra.
The suspects, identified as Salifu Mamuda, 50, and Iddrisa Mohammed, 44, were arrested on Monday, November 9, 2026, during an operation by the IGP Special Operations Team (SOT).
According to the Police, the operation followed intelligence that two articulator trucks were offloading suspected contraband goods at a warehouse off the Kojo Thompson Highway.
In a statement shared on X, the Police said the trucks were “suspected to have originated from Nigeria” and were found offloading the goods at the warehouse.
The vehicles, with registration numbers SMK-161-YH and T-28975-LA, were intercepted during the operation.
The Police said the seized consignment comprised assorted wax print fabrics “suspected to be counterfeit GTP fabrics”.
“The consignment is estimated to be worth GH¢20 million and is believed to have been smuggled from Nigeria,” the statement added.
The seized goods have since been conveyed to the National Police Headquarters for further investigations.
“The suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations, while efforts are ongoing to identify other persons connected to the importation and distribution,” the Police said.
