Keta: Police destroy 24 bags of suspected cannabis

The Keta Divisional Police Command, in the Volta Region, has destroyed some 24 maxim bags of suspected cannabis at Adzido in the Municipality.

The suspected weed was intercepted on December 29, 2023, and was later destroyed on Friday, April 25, 2025.

The Keta Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Maxwell Agyemang, who disclosed this information to the Ghana News Agency in an interview, stated that the suspected cannabis was intercepted at Adzido beach, where it was dumped by unknown culprits.

“We had a tipoff about the suspect, which was dumped at Adzido and intercepted it, unfortunately no arrest was made,” he said.

Superintendent Agyemang explained that a series of investigations were conducted in and around Keta Municipality to apprehend and punish the culprits, but nobody has since been identified in connection with the act to face the full rigour of the law.

He said that each of the 24 bags of the suspected cannabis contained 30 wrapped pieces with each estimated to cost around GH₵500, all totalling GH₵360,000 for 720 pieces for all.

“The last time we conducted this similar exercise was on September 27, 2024, after we equally intercepted 78 maxim bags of marijuana at the same place upon a tip-off.”

Superintendent Agyemang said the Keta Divisional Command has earlier held a meeting with the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Wisdom Seade, to hold a comprehensive education programme on drug abuse and addiction in the communities in the area for the public to identify the sad effects of drug abuse.

He said further information gathered indicated that many young students in the senior and junior high schools have also been engaging in drugs such as tramadol, tamaking, cannabis among others, which destroys their future progression.

He said the use of illicit drugs were against the laws of the country and promised that the Keta police command would do everything possible to crackdown on the use of illicit drugs among the youth within the Municipality.

He also urged the public to report any act of illegal drugs that could possibly jeopardise or endanger others in the communities.

The Senior Narcotic Drugs Control Officer at Aflao, Elaina Annor-Agyapong, who witnessed the exercise, said that the consequences of using hard drugs include sickness, mental disorder, death, imprisonment, among others, and urged youths to desist from such unprescribed drugs for a successful and brighter future.
