Two in custody over suspected cocaine seized at Wa bus station

Two people are in police custody in the Upper West Region after security operatives seized substances suspected to be narcotic drugs at the ESP bus station area in Wa.

The arrests form part of ongoing efforts by security agencies in the Upper West Region to tackle the trafficking and distribution of suspected narcotic drugs through commercial transport routes linking Kumasi and communities in northern Ghana.“So far, we have two in custody, and we’re working around the clock to see if there are other people connected and also to conduct what we call forensic analysis of the substances in our custody,” he said.
