A Ghana News Central video uploaded on 22 September 2026 describes an operation by the Inspector-General of Police's Special Operations Team, popularly called the Black Maria Squad, around Avenor and Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra. Its description says several people suspected of drug dealing or use were reportedly apprehended after allegedly being found with suspected narcotic substances. These claims are attributed to the video publisher, not to an independently obtained Ghana Police statement.
The video's publication date is not proof of when the operation took place. The number of people detained, the substances involved, any charges and later legal outcomes are not established by a police or court record available to us. Allegations and detention do not establish guilt.
