The internal Security Task Force of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has apprehended four drug peddlers who ply their activities within the metropolis.

They are said to operate behind the Ashtown Post Office.

They were arrested on Monday, March 16, 2026, in a crackdown and handed over to the Kumasi Central Police station for further investigations.

Items retrieved during the operation included quantities of substances suspected to be Indian hemp, a locally manufactured pistol, packs of cigarettes, hard drugs, boxes of “Mashallah” (Ataya), cash, and other materials believed to be harmful.
