The Bono Regional Police Command has arrested two men for allegedly possessing 41 compressed slabs of substances suspected to be cannabis at the Twumasikrom checkpoint on the Sunyani-Berekum highway in the Bono Region.
The suspects, identified as 33-year-old Duah Akwasi Moses, the driver, and his 42-year-old mate, Kofi Antwi Bosiako, were arrested on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, the two were travelling towards Sampa in the Jaman North District aboard a white-and-red Kia Grand Bus with registration number AS-2415-26 when officers on duty stopped and searched the vehicle.
A search of one of the vehicle’s compartments reportedly led to the discovery of two brown boxes containing 41 yellow sellotaped compressed slabs of the suspected cannabis.
During interrogation, the driver allegedly told investigators that he had received the consignment from an unidentified person in Accra for delivery to an individual in Sampa.
He is also said to have offered the officers GH¢9,000 to secure their release, but the officers rejected the bribe and retained the money as an exhibit.
The Police subsequently called in the Drugs Law Enforcement Unit to assist with investigations.
The two suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations, with efforts underway to arraign them.
In a statement signed by the Bono Regional Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, the Command commended the officers for their professionalism and vigilance.
The Command has also urged police personnel to remain alert and uphold professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
