\"image\"<\/a>Three persons, including a minor, have been arrested in connection with the seizure of a large quantity of dried leaves suspected to be cannabis, in transit to Niger.<\/p>\n

Iddrisu Katumi, 42, a driver, Majeed Issaka, 23, together with the juvenile, said to be a driver\u2019s-mate, had compressed the substance into 125 parcels and hidden them in a compartment of a DAF bus.<\/p>\n

They were put before a Kumasi Circuit Court presided over by Mr William Boampong on Friday and were denied bail.<\/p>\n

The two accused adults were remanded in prison custody while the minor was asked to be held in a police juvenile cell.<\/p>\n

They are facing charges of possessing narcotic drugs without lawful custody and possessing narcotic drug without lawful authority.<\/p>\n

Their pleas were not taken and they would make their next court appearance on Thursday, March 13.<\/p>\n

Two other accomplices are on the run and the Police Inspector Gulliver Kwabena Tenkorang told the court that the police were doing everything to arrest and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n

He said the substance was intercepted at about midnight on February 24, at a snap checkpoint the police mounted at Suame in Kumasi based on a tip off.<\/p>\n

The prosecution said the police was working hard to trace the source of supply.<\/p>\n
