The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), in partnership with the National Security’s Special Operations Department, has arrested two persons during an intelligence-led operation at Weija in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The operation, conducted on Thursday, September 3, 2026, followed weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering by undercover officers.
The main suspect, identified as 51-year-old Jibreel Hardi, was intercepted around 11:00 a.m. while allegedly heading to meet a prospective buyer.
According to NACOC, a search of his vehicle uncovered quantities of dried leaves wrapped in polythene, suspected to be cannabis, as well as several packets of Tramadol.
The joint security team subsequently proceeded to Hardi’s residence, where additional quantities of the suspected cannabis and Tramadol were recovered.
A firearm and 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition were also retrieved from the residence.
Hardi’s 42-year-old wife, Abiba Fatawu, was subsequently arrested at the house for her alleged involvement as an accomplice and collaborator during the operation.
The two suspects have since been taken to the NACOC Headquarters for processing as investigations continue.
The items seized during the operation will be subjected to forensic examination as authorities work to establish the full circumstances surrounding the case.
