14 arrested for cultivating and distributing ‘wee’ at Daliga

The Upper East Regional Police Command in Ghana has arrested 14 individuals suspected of cultivating and distributing narcotic drugs, commonly referred to as 'wee,' at Daliga in the Nabdam District. The arrests were made during an intelligence-led operation on August 16, 2026. The suspects, ranging in age from 20 to 70, were apprehended with large quantities of suspected narcotic drugs concealed in sacks.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the drugs were being cultivated alongside millet and maize, a tactic used to conceal the farms and avoid detection. The suspects are reportedly major suppliers to several drug peddlers across the region, and their arrest is part of the Police Command's efforts to disrupt the cultivation, distribution, and supply networks of narcotics in the area.

The arrested individuals will be presented before the court to face the legal consequences of their alleged crimes.
