The Volta North Regional Police Command has successfully impounded a significant shipment of cannabis, commonly known as "wee," which was destined for Nigeria.

Acting on a tip-off from a local informant, the police set up a strategic checkpoint at Kadjebi-Okanta, along the Eastern Corridor Road.

During the operation, authorities discovered several tons of marijuana hidden in concealed compartments of a long truck.

The driver and his accomplice, who were immediately arrested, are under investigation.
