The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) of Ghana has arrested 10 students of Koforidua Technical University (KTU) who are linked to an alleged dealing and selling of cannabis-infused drinks and ice creams during the Students' Representative Council (SRC) Hall Week celebrations on campus.
NACOC has led and carried out this intelligence operation in efforts to crack down culprits or persons dealing in illegal drug trafficking
The successful arrests were made during the Hall Week festivities held between July 31 and August 1, 2026.
The suspected ringleader, 23-year-old Priscilla Tetteh, was arrested alongside nine other students while they were allegedly selling the cannabis infused products to students and patrons at the event according to the Commission.
NACOC described the operation as a major breakthrough in dismantling an emerging criminal enterprise that allegedly exploited campus social events to promote the use of narcotic substances among young people.
The Commission stressed that cannabis infused food, beverages and other edible products containing controlled substances remain illegal under Ghanaian law.
It warned that anyone found manufacturing, distributing, possessing or selling such products will face prosecution.
The Narcotic Commission further called on parents, university authorities, student leaders and the public to support the fight against illicit drugs by reporting suspected drug related activities.
