Police Arrest Notorious Drug Dealer in Tamale-Yendi

The IGP Special Operations Team has arrested three suspects, including a notorious drug peddler, for possession and peddling of suspected Indian hemp in Tamale and Yendi.

The team conducted an intensive patrol, leading to the arrest of Rahman Simani, Mohammed Ibrahim, and Kasim Abdul Fataw with various quantities of the illicit substance.

According to the police, Fataw, a well-known player in the drug scene, admitted to his involvement but claimed he had stopped due to the police heat.

He was arrested to assist police with further investigations, said DSP Bawah Abdul Jalil, a member of the IGP Special Operations Team.

These operations have boosted police visibility, disrupted suspected criminal networks, and left residents feeling confident about the Ghana Police Service.

The swift actions of the team reinforced public confidence in the Ghana Police Service’s ability to maintain law and order and respond effectively to security threats, DSP Jalil noted.

The suspects are in custody at the Sakasaka Police Station, awaiting further investigations and possible prosecution.

The operation is part of ongoing efforts to identify and dismantle criminal networks in the region.
