NACOC Storms Drug Hotspots in Greater Accra and Oti Region, Several Arrested in Major Weekend Crackdown

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has carried out a sweeping anti-drug operation across parts of Greater Accra and the Oti Region, leading to several arrests and the seizure of suspected narcotic substances over the weekend. The coordinated raids targeted known drug dens in Kissieman, Dome and Kwabenya, where officers reportedly retrieved quantities of illegal drugs and other incriminating materials during the intelligence-led exercise.

According to security sources, the operation formed part of NACOC’s intensified nationwide clampdown on drug trafficking and substance abuse, especially within densely populated urban communities. Suspects arrested during the raids are currently assisting with investigations, while officials work to identify and dismantle wider criminal networks linked to the distribution of narcotics in the affected areas.

In a related development, another major swoop was conducted at Alavanyo in the Oti Region, where additional suspects were apprehended and suspected drugs seized. NACOC has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting the growing drug menace in the country and warned individuals involved in the illegal trade to desist or face the full rigours of the law.
