Police Officer Interdicted For Possession of Illegal Drug

The Ghana Police Service has interdicted a police officer after he was found with an illegal drug.

The officer based in Tamale has been identified as /L/Cpl Shani Abdullai.

“The Ghana Police Service has interdicted G/L/Cpl Shani Abdullai, for being in possession of restricted pharmaceutical substances at Kpalsi, a suburb of Tamale in the Northern Region.”

A thorough investigation has since commenced into the matter.

“His interdiction is to allow for a thorough investigation into his conduct in line with Police Service regulations.”

This comes at a time when opioid infiltration and abuse in parts of the country is on a worrying ascendency.

In March, the National Youth Authority (NYA) launched the “Red Means Stop” campaign in partnership with the Ministry of Youth Development & Empowerment and Entertainment Week Ghana to combat the trend.
