Nabdam: Police arrest 14 for cultivating and distributing ‘wee’
Fourteen people have been arrested by the police in the Upper East region on suspicion of cultivating and distributing narcotic drugs [wee] at Daliga in the Nabdam District.
Fourteen individuals have been apprehended in the Upper East region of Ghana for allegedly cultivating and trafficking a narcotic substance known as 'wee' in the Daliga area of the Nabdam District. The arrests were made on Sunday, August 16, 2026, following an intelligence-driven operation. The suspects, whose ages range from 20 to 70, were identified as Alex Nyaaba, Charles Kolog Dombil, Jenifer Ziimi, Ziimi Pandan, Tobire Naab, Yinteng James, Sandenab Peelim, Abane Zamgbeog, Borimi Nahou, Tobil Wandabil, Furimi Nabdok, Nahou Dogobila, Gurimi Teng, and Gurimi Kugeri.
According to a statement from the Public Affairs Unit of the Upper East Regional Police Command, the operation uncovered a significant quantity of suspected narcotic drugs hidden in sacks. Preliminary investigations suggest that the 'wee' was being grown in conjunction with millet and maize, a tactic to obscure the farms and avoid detection.
The police also believe the suspects acted as key suppliers to numerous drug dealers across the Upper East Region. This arrest is part of the Police Command's broader strategy to dismantle the networks enabling the cultivation, distribution, and supply of narcotic drugs in the region. The suspects are currently under arrest and will face legal proceedings.
