Mamprobi Police intercepts cocoa smuggling operation

On the night of 6th of March, while Ghanaians were engaged in several legally sanctioned activities to commemorate Ghana’s 66th birthday after colonial rule, some nation wreckers decided to take advantage of the celebrant mood of everyone to engage in illegal operation to the detriment of the country’s economy.

The enemies of the state thus, chose Laterbiokorshie cluster of schools as a conducive site to re-bag truckloads of over 600 bags of cocoa beans from Ghana COCOBOD sacks into fertilizer sacks earmarked to be smuggled out into neighboring Togo.

Based on a tip off born out of a well laid down intelligence in the district, the commander of the Mamprobi Police, Chief Superintendent Alfred Kudah led an able team under his control to the site and successfully, arrested 3 people involved in the unlawful act, impounded the truck used for the operation and then handed the cocoa over to Ghana COCOBOD for preservation.

On March 9, 2023, the detective in charge, Chief Inspector Baba Naporo Issifu, arraigned the accused persons before the Accra Circuit Court 6, where they were granted bail pending trial. The other accomplices on the run are being pursued to be put before court.

In recent times, the Mamprobi Police District has proven to be among the leading Police districts in the country to be relied on in terms of crime combat.

Among several successful stories chalked since Chief Superintendent Kudah assumptions of duty as the commander include arrest and prosecution of notorious land-shards, arrest and prosecution of robbers, and at rest and prosecution of narcotic drug peddlers.

The residents of Mamprobi have since been praising the professionalism and hard work of Chief Supt Alfred Kudah because, as they say, with his leadership, the Mamprobi Police District has “proven to be among the leading police districts in the country to be relied on in terms of crime combat.”

For these residents, the Mamprobi area has not been known for such feats in a very long time and it is worth celebrating their police commander for the yeoman’s job he has been doing lately.
