The Bono Regional Police Command arrested two men after finding 41 compressed slabs of material suspected to be cannabis in a commercial bus at the Twumasikrom checkpoint on the Sunyani-Berekum highway.[1] Police identified them as the driver, Duah Akwasi Moses, 33, and his mate, Kofi Antwi Bosiako, 42, arrested at about 7:00 a.m. on 8 November 2026.[1] The two were travelling towards Sampa in the Jaman North District in a white and red Kia Grand Bus with registration number AS-2415-26.[1] The bus was carrying passengers when officers stopped and searched it.[2] A search of one of the vehicle’s compartments found two brown boxes containing the 41 yellow sellotaped compressed slabs.[1]

The driver told interrogators he had received the parcel from an unidentified person in Accra for delivery to someone in Sampa.[1] The driver then offered officers GH¢9,000 to secure their release, but the officers rejected the offer and retained the money as an exhibit.[1] The Drugs Law Enforcement Unit was called in to assist the investigation.[1] The two remained in police custody while officers worked to put them before court.[1] The command’s public relations officer, Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, signed a statement on the case, and the command praised the officers’ professionalism and vigilance.[3]
