  "account": "The Bono Regional Police Command reported the arrest of two men, Duah Akwasi Moses, 33, and Kofi Antwi Bosiako, 42, on November 8, 2026, at the Twumasikrom checkpoint on the Sunyani-Berekum highway. The duo were apprehended when a commercial bus, a white and red Kia Grand Bus with registration number AS-2415-26, was searched. The bus was en route to Sampa in the Jaman North District, carrying passengers at the time of the stop.\n\nUpon searching one of the compartments, police officers discovered two brown boxes with 41 yellow sellotaped compressed slabs of suspected cannabis. The driver, Moses, confessed during questioning, admitting he had received the parcel from an unknown source in Accra for delivery to a recipient in Sampa. In exchange for his cooperation, he offered the police GH¢9,000, which the officers refused, retaining the sum as evidence. The Drugs Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU) has been enlisted to aid the ongoing investigation. Both suspects are currently in police custody and are co-operating with the investigation, as authorities prepare to bring them before a court. The Bono Regional Police Command praised the arresting officers for their professionalism and vigilance, urging all personnel to maintain alertness in their duties.",
