The Ghana Police Service has arrested eight Nigerian nationals during an intelligence-led anti-narcotics operation at Okaishie Drug Lane in Accra.
The operation took place on October 9, 2026, and targeted the suspected sale and distribution of narcotics and unregulated pharmaceutical products.
According to the Police Service, officers recovered several substances suspected to be drugs and pharmaceutical products during the operation.
The items retrieved reportedly included suspected Tramadol, Rohypnol, codeine-containing products, Benyling and other pharmaceutical substances.

The eight suspects remain in police custody as investigations continue.
Police are expected to establish the nature of the recovered substances and determine the appropriate legal action based on the findings of the investigation.
The arrests highlight ongoing concerns about the circulation of controlled substances and unregulated medicines in parts of Accra.
The Ghana Police Service has not provided further details about the identities of the suspects or whether additional arrests are expected.
