The Tamale Police have apprehended a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Mohammed Alhassan, in connection with the unlawful possession of narcotic drugs.
The suspect was arrested on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at approximately 12:30 pm in Kpalsi, a suburb of Tamale, by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Operations Team.
According to a police press release, the arrest was prompted by a distress call from the Tamale Task Force, which had intercepted 98 parcels of suspected cannabis during an operation in the area.
Initially, the Taskforce apprehended one Hashim with the exhibits, and during interrogation, Hashim implicated Mohammed Alhassan as the owner of the narcotic substances, leading to Alhassan’s arrest.
Hashim was subsequently released but has since been reclassified as a suspect and is currently at large.
The police are actively working to locate and apprehend Hashim to aid in ongoing investigations.
Mohammed Alhassan is expected to be arraigned before the court on Monday, December 29, 2025, to face charges of possession of narcotic drugs without lawful authority.
