The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has carried out a series of intelligence-led operations across the Eastern and Greater Accra regions, dismantling several drug dens as part of a festive-season crackdown dubbed “Operation White Ember.”
The coordinated raids targeted known drug hubs stretching from Mamfe and Tutu in the Eastern Region to Madina Redco Flats, Zongo Junction, and the railway slums of Airport City in the Greater Accra Region.
On Boxing Day, NACOC extended the operation to Tema Community One and Teshie Nungua, where dozens of suspects were arrested and quantities of narcotic substances seized with the support of NACOC K9 units.
As part of the wider security sweep, patrols were also conducted at shopping malls and beaches across the capital to curb drug activity during the Christmas festivities.
Beyond the arrests, NACOC highlighted the broader social impact of the operation, noting that the drugs seized, ranging from ecstasy and methamphetamine to cannabis-laced alcoholic beverages—represent “thousands of lives saved from the brink of addiction” during the festive period.
