Police arrest 14 suspected narcotic plant farmers at Daliga
The Upper East Regional Police Command has arrested 14 persons for their alleged involvement in the cultivation and distribution of narcotic plants at Daliga in the Nabdam District.
The Upper East Regional Police Command has successfully apprehended 14 individuals suspected of involvement in the cultivation and distribution of narcotic plants at Daliga in the Nabdam District. The suspects were apprehended on Sunday, August 16, 2026, through an intelligence-led operation conducted by the Police Intelligence Directorate and the newly established Black Cobra Team.
The suspects, ranging in age from 20 to 70, include Alex Nyaaba, Charles Keleg Dombil, Zimi Pandam, Jennifer Ziini, Tobire Naab, Yinteng James, Tosil Wandabil, Sandanane Peehim, Borimi Nohoo, Curim Teng, Curim Kugri, Nohou Dagobila, Gurimi Nabdok, and Abane Zangbeog. During the search, police discovered a substantial quantity of suspected narcotics concealed within sacks of millet and maize.
Initial investigations suggest that the narcotic plants were cultivated in conjunction with millet and maize to conceal the farms and avoid detection. The suspects are believed to be major suppliers of narcotics to various peddlers operating across the Upper East Region. They are currently in police custody and will be brought before the courts to face legal proceedings.
This arrest is part of the Regional Police Command's ongoing efforts to combat the cultivation, distribution, and use of narcotics in the region.
