The Ghana Police Service’s Special Operation Team has arrested a 28-year-old man, Mohammed Alhassan, for possessing narcotic drugs without lawful authority in Tamale. The arrest was made on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at Kpalsi, a suburb of Tamale.
According to the Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Chief Inspector Alhassan Luckman Niendow, the police seized 98 parcels of compressed dried leaves suspected to be cannabis during the operation. The arrest followed a distress call from the Tamale Taskforce, which had earlier apprehended another individual, identified as Hashim, in possession of the exhibits. Hashim reportedly implicated Mohammed Alhassan, leading to his arrest.
Alhassan has been handed over to the Drug Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU) for further investigations and is expected to be arraigned before court on Monday, December 29, 2025, on charges of possessing narcotic drugs without lawful authority.
The police are currently searching for Hashim, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the narcotics operation.
The police reaffirmed their commitment to combating drug-related crimes and urged the public to continue supporting security agencies with timely information.
