  "account": "The Ghana Police Service has apprehended three individuals and seized an assortment of fabrics worth approximately GH¢20 million, believed to be counterfeit GTP wax prints, in Adabraka, Accra. The arrests were made after a special operation conducted by the Inspector-General of Police's Special Operations Team (SOT) on Monday, November 9, 2026, following intelligence reports of two articulator trucks unloading suspected contraband goods at a warehouse near the Kojo Thompson Highway. The two trucks, registered as SMK-161-YH and T-28975-LA, were suspected to have transported the goods from Nigeria. The first two suspects, Salifu Mamuda, 50, and Iddrisa Mohammed, 44, were apprehended at the scene, while Eric Boakye, the third suspect, was arrested subsequently. Textile manufacturer GTP officials were summoned to review the seized fabrics and confirmed that the prints were counterfeit, bearing imitation GTP labels. The suspects claimed that the goods had been brought from Nigeria via the Akanu border in the Volta Region. The Ghana Revenue Authority's Customs Division was also invited to inspect the consignment, which confirmed that the tax stamps on the fabrics were fraudulent.",
