On the 5th of January 2023, a police intelligence operation led to the arrest of four individuals for unauthorised possession of over 104 bags of items thought to be narcotics at Lolonya near Sege in the Greater Accra area.
Ntow Prince, Felix Owusu, Jery Quartey, and Daitey Mashack were apprehended while loading bags of compressed plant materials into a boat near Sege's coast.
During the arrest, suspect Daitey Mashack, the Assemblyman for the area, attempted to bribe the arresting authorities with GH 20,000.00.
The loaded truck containing the narcotics, as well as the attempted bribe money, has been seized at the Regional Police Headquarters.
The four accused were then brought before the Ashaiman Circuit Court on Friday, January 6, 2023, and were remanded into police custody until their next appearance on January 23, 2023.
"We would like to commend the Police team for their dedication and commitment to the service of our dear country," a statement issued by the Police on Saturday January 7 said.
