The Ghana Police Service has arrested two men and seized a large quantity of assorted wax-print fabrics suspected to be counterfeit GTP products during an operation in Adabraka, Accra.
The suspects, identified as 50-year-old Salifu Mamuda and 44-year-old Iddrisa Mohammed, were arrested at the scene on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The operation was conducted by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Operations Team (SOT) after receiving intelligence that two articulator trucks, with registration numbers SMK-161-YH and T-28975-LA, were unloading suspected contraband at a warehouse off the Kojo Thompson Highway in Adabraka.
Police said the trucks were believed to have come from Nigeria.
The seized goods are estimated to be worth about GH¢20 million and are believed to have been smuggled into Ghana from Nigeria.
The consignment has been taken to the National Police Headquarters for further investigation.
The suspects remain in police custody and are assisting with investigations. Police are also working to identify others linked to the importation and distribution of the suspected counterfeit fabrics.
