NACOC, Prisons embark on search at Nsawam

The exercise, which took place on Sunday, April 14, 2024, was to find and retrieve narcotic drugs from the facility.

But at the end of the search, no narcotic drug was retrieved in and around the facility.

It was also extended to the outer perimeter wall of the prison facility in search of any hidden narcotic drug.

The sniffer dogs were released to the cells and every area of the facility, but no single narcotic drug was detected.

He assured the team that officers of the facility would continue their routine searches to ensure that narcotic drugs and other contrabands did not get access to the prison environment.

“The aim of this very exercise was to search and retrieve narcotic drugs in the prisons facility amid public opinion that prisons are breeding grounds for illegal drugs such as narcotics,” he emphasised.

He also applauded management of the Prisons Service for ensuring a narcotic-free facility, contrary to the popular opinion that there is an influx of narcotic drugs in the prisons facilities.
