The Ghana Police Service has arrested a 40-year-old farmer, Roger Borbobli, after allegedly finding 91 parcels of suspected Indian hemp in his possession at the VIP Bus Terminal at Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.
The arrest took place on Thursday, October 29, 2026, after workers at the terminal detected an unusual smell coming from three suitcases and alerted the police.
Officers from the Office of the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector-General of Police responded and intercepted the suspect. A search of the suitcases reportedly uncovered 91 parcels of compressed dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp.
Police said Borbobli reportedly valued the substances at GH¢33,600.
