Police in Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region, have thwarted an attempt to smuggle suspected illegal drugs into police cells hidden in food items meant for a detainee.
According to police report, officers of the Asahiman police station discovered four tablets of suspected narcotic substances, identified as “Timaking” or “Red”, concealed in a pie brought to the station by 21-year-old Anita Amoah for suspect Richard Acquah, who was in custody.
