A Kumasi Circuit Court, presided over by Mrs. Mary Nsenkyire, has ordered a man caught with 34.468 gramsmes of heroin, to be held in prison custody.<\/p>\n
Samuel Antwi, a trader, pleaded not guilty to the offence and would make his next appearance on August 11.<\/p>\n
Police Chief Superintendent Emmanuel A. Akunnor told the court that the accused was arrested on April 03, last year, at about 1500 hours.<\/p>\n
Officers of the Drug Enforcement Unit were doing routine checks on the Kumasi-Sunyani highway, when they found the brownish substance concealed in a black polythene bag on Antwi, who was travelling with other passengers in a Mercedes Sprinter bus.<\/p>\n
He said the accused during police interrogation claimed that he was sent by one Afriyie to deliver the stuff to Baba Musa at Alabar in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
He could, however, not lead the officers to the persons mentioned.<\/p>\n
Chief Supt Akunnor said laboratory test of samples of the substance confirmed that it was indeed heroin.<\/p>\n
