The Volta Regional Police Command has arrested two police officers
for their alleged involvement in the drug trade in the region.
The two were arrested on Saturday for allegedly conveying substances
suspected to be Indian hemp popularly known as ‘wee’ in a police
vehicle.
An eyewitness of the arrest which occurred at Sokode-Lokoe on the
outskirts of Ho, the regional capital, said the two cops were
stopped by their colleagues at the Sokode-Lokoe barrier.
Another source close to the police hinted that the duo was first
stopped by the highway patrol team between Have and Bame but refused
to stop.
This the eyewitness claimed, made the highwaypatrol team suspicious
and therefore decided to follow them. They then hinted other personnel
at the Bame and the Sokode- Lokoe barriers. The two, who managed to
flee from the Bame barrier, were then arrested at the Sokode Lokoe
barrier.
Daily Guide sources also revealed that the driver of the Indian
hemp-filled police vehicle happens to be the driver of the Commanding
Officer of the Volta Regional Police Training School.
When contacted, the Volta Regional Police Commander DCOP Peterkin
Yentumi Gyi nae, confirmed that there that been such a bust. He then
promised that he was gathering adequate information before meeting
the media to brief them on the happening.
