Drug Bust Rocks Central University: SRC Week Suspended Following NACOC Cannabis Arrests!

Central University management has suspended all remaining Students’ Representative Council (SRC) Week activities after the arrest of five students by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) over cannabis-infused products like ice cream and toffees sold on campus.

The precautionary measure aims to maintain order and safeguard the university environment while investigations continue. Vendors and students have expressed concerns over the abrupt halt to celebrations.

This incident underscores growing worries about substance abuse on tertiary campuses and the need for stricter monitoring of student events. The university is reviewing event protocols to prevent recurrence.

NACOC’s operation highlights collaborative efforts between security agencies and institutions to combat drug peddling targeting young people.

The suspension has prompted broader discussions on balancing student engagement with safety and regulatory compliance in Ghanaian universities.
