The Ghana Police Service has dismissed false media reports suggesting that narcotic exhibits seized in Sekesua have gone missing.
Police confirmed that the 36 sacks of substances suspected to be narcotics, which were intercepted on September 30, 2025, along the Sekesua road, are all intact and securely kept at the Eastern Regional Command.
The case involves a Kia Truck with registration number ER-760-23, which was intercepted while carrying bags of dried substances concealed under sawdust. The vehicle was impounded and taken to the Sekesua Police Station, but the driver and his mate managed to escape custody and are currently on the run.
In a statement, the Police Service stressed that no part of the exhibit has gone missing and urged the public to disregard reports that the sacks had allegedly turned into sawdust.
