According to a statement signed by Pax National President, Samuel Paul Gyamfi and Pax National Secretary, Jennifer Makafui Dandzo, the production and distribution to all final year students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic would ensure safety of students.
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a challenge across the world that every aspect of normal life has been affected by the spread of the virus.
One area that the virus has impacted is the education sector, which has led to the closure of schools.
Not long ago, the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo ordered all final year students to return to their various institutions in order to complete their academic work.
However, some heads of institutions said they had not received the PPE needed to ensure the safety of students in schools but government officials maintained that enough procurement had been made prior to the re-opening of schools.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested three (3) suspects in connection with a case of possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.
A surveillance operation was mounted and on 11th April 2026, a Police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.
The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two (22) compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe as a key figure in the drug trade.
A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after Police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
The suspect later led Police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of an amount of GHc400,000 and a counting machine.
According to the police, during the operation, he attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GHc420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
All the suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
