In the Volta Region, personnel from the Ghana Immigration Service’s Nyive Sector Command confiscated 80 slabs of substances suspected to be Indian hemp.
The reported Indian hemp was discovered in the Ho Municipality of Atikpui, which borders Togo.
According to Abdullah Zakaria, Sector Commander for Nyive and Assistant Commissioner of Immigration, the goods were abandoned at a nearby clinic in Atikpui when the suspects learned the authorities were chasing them.
He stated that the Immigration Service will not stop until all illegal operations in the region are eradicated.
ACI Zakaria, on the other hand, urged homeowners and the general public to work with the Service to combat criminal activity in the neighbourhood and throughout the region.
The acting Volta Regional Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Immigration, Noah Ahomka Yeboah, who also seized the opportunity to tour other sector commanders in the area, praised the personnel at Nyive for their efforts over the years and encouraged them to do more.
ACI Yeboah stated that his guys are on top of their jobs and have always been vigilant and quick to respond to such incidents, for which they should be applauded.
“My men here at Nyive and other sectors of the service are really doing well and need to be commended for always being ready to extend services to the nation,” he said.
ACI Yeboah went on to say that criminal acts of this nature must be completely eradicated or minimised, which can only be accomplished with the public’s assistance.
He stated that everyone must modify their attitude towards the subject of unlawful possession of hard drugs or substances.
He reassured the public of the Service’s commitment to combating the region’s criminal activities.
