On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the Tema Regional Police Command conducted an intelligence-led operation resulting in the arrest of a 52-year-old man named Ibrahim Saani near Airport Junction in New York. The operation led to the seizure of 37 parcels suspected to contain Indian hemp, along with a crusher. The arrest took place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at approximately 7:00 p.m. following the receipt of intelligence reports.

The suspect was apprehended in a bag containing the suspected narcotics and a crusher, and was subsequently taken to the police station to help with the ongoing investigation. Preliminary reports suggest that Saani may have been involved in the distribution of these substances within New York and its surrounding areas. It is also believed that he fabricated insanity to hide his illicit activities.

The seized substances will undergo forensic examination to determine their exact nature. The police are currently investigating whether other individuals may have been involved in these activities. Upon completion of the investigation, the suspect and any accomplices identified will be brought before the court. The Tema Regional Police Command has cautioned the public against engaging in any narcotics-related activities and urged residents with any credible information on possession, distribution, or trafficking of illicit drugs to report to the nearest police station.

The command also called for continued public cooperation with the police in combating drug-related offenses and protecting communities, especially the youth.
