The Ghana Police Service has arrested two suspects and seized assorted wax-print fabrics suspected to be counterfeit GTP products, with an estimated value of GH¢20 million, at Adabraka in Accra.

The suspects, identified as Salifu Mamuda, 50, and Iddrisa Mohammed, 44, were arrested on Monday, November 9, 2026, during an operation conducted by the IGP Special Operations Team (SOT).

In a statement posted on its official social media platforms on Thursday, November 12, the Police said the operation followed intelligence reports that two articulated trucks, suspected to have arrived from Nigeria, were offloading contraband goods at a warehouse off the Kojo Thompson Highway.
