’Mad Man’ Arrested With 37 Wee Parcels

A 52-year-old man, identified as Ibrahim Saani, has been apprehended by the Tema Regional Police Command in New York, near Airport Junction, on allegations of possessing what are suspected to be Indian hemp substances. The arrest took place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, during an operation launched following intelligence reports.

ASP Dede Dzakpasu, Head of Public Affairs for the Tema Regional Police Command, detailed the incident in a statement, noting the suspect was apprehended at around 7:00 p.m. during the operation, along with a bag containing 37 parcels of compressed substances and a crusher. He was subsequently taken to the police station for further examination of the exhibits.

Preliminary investigations indicate the suspect may have been involved in the distribution of illicit narcotics in the New York and surrounding regions. Intelligence also suggests the suspect may have been using a pretense of madness to mask his suspected criminal activities. The seized substances will undergo forensic analysis to determine their exact nature and to aid in the investigation of possible involvement by other individuals.

The police have informed that the suspect and any accomplices, should they be found, will be brought to court following the conclusion of the investigation. The Tema Regional Police Command has warned the public against participating in any narcotics-related activities and has urged anyone with credible information about the possession, distribution, or trafficking of illegal drugs to report to the nearest police station.

The Command also encourages continued cooperation from the public in combating drug-related offenses and protecting communities, especially the youth.
