The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) recently conducted raids in the Eastern Region of Ghana, specifically in Akyem Oda and Akroso, leading to the arrest of fourteen (14) persons connected to the possession and distribution of illegal drugs.
The operation, carried out on June 24, 2025, follows weeks of intelligence gathering and surveillance on suspected drug dens and distribution networks within the communities.
The arrested individuals are currently in custody and are expected to face prosecution.
According to a report by 3news.com on June 24, 2025, as part of the crackdown, three licensed chemical stores were shut down for selling unregistered and controlled substances without proper authorisation.
