A police officer, Lance Corporal Abdullai, who was recently interdicted following the discovery of restricted drugs in his possession, has admitted to supplying synthetic opioids to youth in his community.
The officer was arrested in Kpalsi, a suburb of Tamale in the Northern Region, after tramadol, a controlled pharmaceutical with a high risk of abuse, was found on him during a routine police operation.
Tramadol is classified under synthetic opioids and is known to be a common substance of misuse, especially among young people in Ghana.
In a video that surfaced after his arrest, Lance Corporal Abdullai made a startling confession during an interrogation, revealing his direct involvement in supplying the drug to local youth.
