A joint immigration and police personnel patrol team on Thursday impounded 981 parcels of items suspected to be marijuana and concealed in a house at Liero, a town around Fielmua in the Lambussie District of the Upper West Region.

The items were compressed in sacks and hidden away in rooms belonging to a man in the community whose name was withheld by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).

According to a statement from the public relations officer of the GIS in the Region, Assistant Inspector Ibn Yussif Duranah Abdul-Mumin Seidu and copied to the media, the team was patrolling some new unapproved routes from Ghana to Burkina Faso when they received information about the items which were suspected to be marijuana.

The statement said the personnel advanced to the house and conducted a thorough search of all the rooms in the house and discovered the items which were packed in long white sacks.
