The Central Regional Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Prisons Service, Supt Vincent Ziniel, confirmed the arrest in an interview with the Adom News.

He explained that the items were hidden in earthenware bowls locally known as apotoyewa and a wooden grinder, tapoli.

During interrogations, the suspects revealed they were convinced to smuggle the substance into the prison yard by Mr Asamoah , an ex-convict who was discharged in 2020.

Mr Paintsil amid tears denied knowledge of the suspected narcotics, stating he was only directed to assist Margarete in delivering the item whose contents he was not aware of.

Margarete on her part also denied knowledge of the goods, adding she only brought food to the inmates and not the suspected weed.

Supt Ziniel lamented this was the third time persons from Mankessim have been busted for the same offences.
