On November 8, 2026, two men were arrested at the Twumasikrom checkpoint on the Sunyani-Berekum highway after 41 compressed slabs suspected to be cannabis were found in a commercial bus, according to the Bono Regional Police Command. The suspects, identified as 33-year-old Duah Akwasi Moses, the driver, and 42-year-old Kofi Antwi Bosiako, were apprehended around 7:00 a.m. when the police stopped and searched a white and red Kia Grand Bus with registration number AS-2415-26.
The bus, en route to Sampa in Jaman North District, was carrying passengers at the time of the arrest. Upon searching one of the vehicle's compartments, law enforcement discovered two brown boxes containing 41 yellow sellotaped compressed slabs of the suspected substance. During questioning, the driver confessed that he had received the parcel from an unidentified source in Accra for delivery to an individual in Sampa.
He offered police officers GH¢9,000 for their release, but the officers declined and retained the money as evidence. The Drugs Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU) has been enlisted to aid the ongoing investigations. The two suspects are currently in police custody and are cooperating with the inquiry, as the police prepare to bring them before court.
The Bono Regional Police Command commended the professionalism and vigilance of the officers involved and urged personnel to stay alert during their duties.
