Two individuals have been arrested by the Volta North Regional Police for transporting substances suspected to be narcotic drugs.
The suspects, Etornam Vumadzi, a driver, and Emmanuel Komlagah, were apprehended on Friday, January 30, 2026, while moving the consignment from Godenu toward Togo.
According to the police in a statement, the suspects attempted to bribe officers to secure their release, offering GHC32,000 upfront, while a third party, identified only as Joseph, tried to sweeten the deal with GHC150,000. All offers were firmly rejected.
A search of the vehicle, a Toyota minibus with registration GT-6592-19, uncovered eighteen sacks containing a total of 648 yellow oval parcels suspected to be narcotics.
The suspects remain in police custody, assisting with investigations, and will be charged in court.
Inspector Felix Kwao, Public Relations Officer for the Volta North Region, confirmed the arrests and lauded the officers for their integrity.
