JUST IN: 51-Year-Old Suspected Drug Dealer And His 42-Year-Old Wife Arr£sted With Cannabis, Tramadol And Firearm In Accra
A 51-year-old man, Jibreel Hardi, and his 42-year-old wife, Abiba Fatawu, have been arr£sted by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) for allegedly supplying illicit drugs in parts of Accra.
The couple were arrested on Thursday, September 3, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation conducted by NACOC in collaboration with National Security operatives.
According to Sources, Hardi was intercepted at Weija in the Ga South Municipality at about 11:00 a.m. while allegedly on his way to meet a suspected buyer.
A search of his vehicle reportedly led to the discovery of quantities of dried leaves suspected to be cannabis, as well as packets of Tramadol.
NACOC officers subsequently searched his residence, where they allegedly retrieved additional quantities of suspected cannabis and Tramadol, together with a firearm and 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
His wife, Abiba Fatawu, was also arrested at the residence for allegedly being an accomplice and collaborator in the suspected drug-related activities.
The allegations are yet to be proven in court, and the suspects are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
