The Ghana Police Service has arrested two men, Salifu Mamuda, 50, and Idrisa Mohammed, 44, for their alleged involvement in the importation and distribution of suspected counterfeit GTP wax-print fabrics valued at approximately GH¢20 million.
The two suspects were arrested on Monday, November 9, 2026, at Adabraka in Accra during an intelligence-led operation conducted by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Special Operations Team (SOT).
According to a statement issued by the Police on Thursday, November 12, the operation followed intelligence reports that two articulated trucks, believed to have arrived from Nigeria, were offloading suspected contraband goods at a warehouse near the Kojo Thompson Highway.
The trucks, with registration numbers SMK-161-YH and T-28975-LA, were reportedly transporting assorted wax-print fabrics suspected to be counterfeit GTP products.
Police said the fabrics are believed to have been smuggled into Ghana from Nigeria.
The seized consignment has since been conveyed to the National Police Headquarters for further investigations.
The two suspects remain in Police custody and are assisting with investigations as efforts continue to identify other individuals allegedly connected to the importation and distribution of the suspected counterfeit products.
