A coordinated police operation targeting illicit drug trafficking and organised criminal gangs in the East Legon enclave has resulted in the arrest of 120 suspects, six of whom are women.
After the operation, all suspects were conveyed to the East Legon Police Station, where they are undergoing screening to separate individuals linked to specific criminal activities from those suspected of involvement in the drug trade.
“The operation was led by ACP Saviour Ahiamadi and supported by other senior officers, including DSP Malaika-Jibril Alhassan, DSP Richard Beriko, ASP Afram and ASP Sarpong, all from Police Headquarters, as well as ASP Imoro from the Accra Region,” a police report said.
The exercise was conducted as a joint effort involving officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate, the Criminal Investigations Department, the National Operations Directorate, and the Accra and East Legon regional commands, among other units.
