The Bono Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects for possessing 41 compressed slabs of substance suspected to be cannabis at the Twumasikrom checkpoint on the Sunyani-Berekum highway.
The suspects have been identified as Duah Akwasi Moses, 33, the driver, and Kofi Antwi Bosiako, 42, his mate.
According to a press release issued by the Public Affairs Unit of the Bono Regional Police Command on November 11, 2026, and signed by Public Relations Officer Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, the two were arrested on Saturday, November 8, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
Police personnel on duty at the Twumasikrom checkpoint in the Sunyani Municipality stopped and searched a white and red Kia Grand Bus with registration number AS-2415-26 which had passengers on board and was travelling towards Sampa in the Jaman North District.
A search of one of the vehicle’s compartments led to the discovery of two brown boxes containing 41 yellow sellotaped compressed slabs of the suspected substance.
During interrogation, the driver admitted that he had received the parcel from an unidentified person in Accra for delivery to someone in Sampa.
The police said the driver subsequently offered the officers GH¢9,000.00 to secure their release.
The officers rejected the bribe offer and retained the money as an exhibit. The Drugs Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU) was also called in to assist with investigations.
The suspects are currently in police custody assisting investigations, while efforts are underway to put them before court.
The Bono Regional Police Command has commended the officers for their professionalism and vigilance and urged personnel to remain alert while performing their duties.
