Oti Regional Police Command has made a significant breakthrough in their fight against drug trafficking, intercepting a truck loaded with 4,000 parcels of suspected narcotics at Dambai. The operation, carried out on February 10, 2026, was based on intelligence gathered by the police.
The truck, a DAF Long Trailer with registration number GW 1943-09, appeared empty at first glance. However, a thorough search revealed secret compartments sealed with six metal plates, containing compressed dried leaf substances wrapped in yellow masking tape, suspected to be narcotics.
The suspect, 40-year-old Amidu Jubril, was detained and is assisting with investigations.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Alex Acquah, Oti Regional Commander, assured the public of their commitment to combating drug trafficking, stating,
“We remain resolute in our efforts to clamp down on criminal networks involved in narcotics trade”.
The police have impounded the truck and secured the exhibits for evidential purposes. Authorities are urging the public to support law enforcement efforts by volunteering credible information to help combat criminal activities.
