Three persons have been arrested for allegedly smoking Indian hemp at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regional congress in Tamale.
They were picked by the security at the congress grounds. Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh confirmed this to Citi News.

Apart from this isolated case, the congress is ongoing smoothly and delegates started voting at 4:30 pm.
