During an intelligence-led operation, police recovered 147 yellow compressed slabs suspected to be Indian hemp, 270 boxes and 329 blisters of Tramadol, and 14 blisters of Rohypnol. The suspects' rooms also yielded GH¢87,751 and CFA 2,000. Awuni claimed the items were given to her for delivery to another person in Côte d’Ivoire, while Akukah stated the substances belonged to his brother, Anthony, who was outside Dormaa Ahenkro at the time. Both suspects are currently in custody, assisting with the ongoing investigation.",
