Assorted wax print fabrics estimated to be worth GH¢20 million have been seized by the Ghana Police Service during an operation at Adabraka in Accra.
The seizure involved two articulator trucks suspected to have brought the goods from Nigeria, with the fabrics believed to have been smuggled into Ghana.
The Ghana Police Service said its IGP Special Operations Team carried out the operation on Monday, November 9, 2026, after receiving intelligence that the trucks were offloading suspected contraband at a warehouse off the Kojo Thompson Highway.
The consignment contained assorted wax prints “suspected to be counterfeit GTP fabrics”, according to the Police.
Two men, Salifu Mamuda, 50, and Iddrisa Mohammed, 44, were arrested at the scene.
The trucks involved in the operation were identified by their registration numbers as SMK-161-YH and T-28975-LA.
The seized fabrics have been moved to the National Police Headquarters as investigations continue.
Police say the two suspects are assisting with investigations, while efforts are being made to identify others allegedly linked to the importation and distribution of the goods. Add quotes verbatim, no repetitions
