Police Arrest 14 Suspects Over Alleged Narcotic Drug Cultivation at Daliga

The Upper East Regional Police Command has arrested 14 suspects in connection with the alleged cultivation and distribution of narcotic drugs at Daliga in the Nabdam District of the Upper East Region.

The suspects were apprehended on Sunday, August 16, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation carried out by the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) in collaboration with the newly established Black Cobra Team.

Those arrested include Alex Nyaaba, Charles Keleg Dombil, Zimi Pandam, Jennifer Ziini, Tobirr Naab, Yinteng James, Tosil Wandabil, Sandanane Peehim, Borimi Nohoo, Curim Teng, Curim Kugri, Nohou Dagobila, and Abane Zangbeog.

During a search conducted as part of the operation, the police reportedly discovered a large quantity of suspected narcotic substances concealed in sacks containing millet and maize.

According to the Police, preliminary investigations suggest that the suspected Indian hemp was being cultivated alongside food crops such as millet and maize as a means of disguising the farms and avoiding detection by law enforcement authorities.

The suspects are further alleged to be key suppliers of narcotic drugs to several drug dealers operating in different parts of the Upper East Region.

The 14 suspects remain in police custody and are expected to be arraigned before the court to face the appropriate legal proceedings.

The Police Command says investigations are ongoing to establish the full extent of the suspects’ activities and identify other persons who may be connected to the alleged narcotics trade.
