The Ghana Police Service has promoted two officers for their role in arresting another police officer transporting 84 parcels of compressed dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp.
The two officers, Inspector Azumah Komla Justice and No. 52543 G/L/CpL Felix Diameh for their role in effecting the arrest of No. 45638 G/Sgt I-Otsu Agbeko, chased down the suspect and arrested him after his vehicle was involved in an accident.
The suspect, G/Sergeant Lotsu Agbeko, 36, was said to be travelling to the Volta Region in his personal Toyota Corolla but failed to heed to a signal to stop when he got to the Have police barrier.
His failure to heed to the signal resulted in a hot chase by the personnel manning the barrier.
Unfortunately for him, he was involved in an accident in the Kpeve mountains and had a fracture on his left hand. He was then rushed to the near-by health facility.
When the vehicle was inspected 84 parcels of substances suspected to be Indian hemp were found compressed in the boot.
He has since been transferred to the Police Hospital for further medical attention where he is under guard.
The exhibits have been retained and investigation continues. The suspect will be put before the court as soon as he is discharged from the hospital
