Man arrested for attempting to send
"wee" to cell inmates
Tema, Nov. 23, Ghanadot/GNA- Awudu Adams, a 22-year-old
unemployed who attempted passing seven wrappers of dried
leaves suspected to be Indian Hemp and 10 sticks of Rothmans
cigarettes to suspects on remand at the Tema Habour Police
station has been arrested.
Chief Inspector Yaw Nketia-Yeboah, Tema Regional Public
Affairs Officer told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that on
November 17, this year at about 1915 hours a police officer
patrolling around the cells saw Adams hovering around the
area.
He said the policeman was put on duty around the area
because they were reliably informed that Adams would be
sending the cell inmates, illegal substances through the
ventilation duct.
Chief Inspector Nketia-Yeboah said the personnel on duty
called for reinforcement after he spotted Adams patrolling
the area and tying a substance he removed from his pocket to
a rope hanging from the ventilation duct.
The police engaged in a tug of war with the cell inmates to
retrieve the substance when the rope started receding into
the cells with the substance tied to it.
Chief Inspector Nketia-Yeboah said the police have impounded
the exhibits for further investigation to enable them
prosecute those involved in the act.
