The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), as part of its anti-narcotics exercise campaign on Friday 16 January 2026, carried out an operation in Budumburam and its surrounding communities in the Gomoa East Municipal of the Central Region.

The exercise falls in line with NACOCโ€™s nationwide crackdown on drug trafficking and abuse.

The successful exercise led to the seizure of several illicit drugs and the arrest of individuals found to be involved in the act.

The exercise led to the arrest of a 32-year-old woman identified as Rebecca Afia Naa Dei Kotei, popularly known as โ€œMotherโ€, described by opinion leaders as a key figure in the local drug trade who had previously evaded arrest.โ€
