The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), as part of its anti-narcotics campaign on Friday, 16 January 2026, carried out an operation in Budumburam and its surrounding communities in the Gomoa East Municipal District of the Central Region.
The exercise falls in line with NACOCโs nationwide crackdown on drug trafficking and abuse.
The successful operation led to the seizure of several illicit drugs and the arrest of individuals found to be involved in the act.
The exercise also led to the arrest of a 32-year-old woman identified as Rebecca Afia Naa Dei Kotei, popularly known as โMother,โ who has been described by opinion leaders as a key figure in the local drug trade and had previously evaded arrest.
The suspect has been on the radar of NACOCโs intelligence and surveillance team due to her involvement in various illicit drug trafficking activities.
The Commission has received several complaints about nefarious activities allegedly being perpetrated by most of the suspects currently in custody.
NACOC officials seized quantities of suspected cannabis, tramadol, and other controlled substances, along with items believed to be linked to drug peddling activities.
NACOC wishes to assure the general public of its commitment to ensuring that Ghana becomes a drug-free nation.
The public is also assured that suspects involved in this raid will be processed for court in accordance with the law.
