“When we arrested her, a search was conducted in her room which led to the retrieval of those things. She mentioned Issah Yaw, who is 66 years as the one who supplies her with the suspected Indian Hemp. Now suspect, Afia Pokua then led the police to arrest Issah Yaw also in his room at Old Tafo. As we speak, both suspects are in police custody assisting with investigations. Meanwhile the substances will be sent to the forensic laboratory in Accra for forensic analysis,” ASP Obeng added.

She further advised the public to be cautious of condensed milk toffees they buy since they could be mixed with Indian Hemp.
