The Ghana Police Service has arrested two men and seized assorted wax print fabrics suspected to be counterfeit GTP products, with an estimated value of GH¢20 million, at Adabraka in Accra.
The suspects, identified as Salifu Mamuda, 50, and Iddrisa Mohammed, 44, were arrested on Monday, November 9, 2026, during an operation by the IGP Special Operations Team (SOT).
According to the Police, the operation followed intelligence that two articulator trucks, with registration numbers SMK-161-YH and T-28975-LA, suspected to have originated from Nigeria, were offloading contraband goods at a warehouse off the Kojo Thompson Highway.
The seized fabrics, believed to have been smuggled into the country from Nigeria, have been conveyed to the National Police Headquarters for further investigations.
The two suspects remain in Police custody and are assisting with investigations.
Meanwhile, the Police say efforts are underway to identify and arrest other individuals linked to the importation and distribution of the suspected counterfeit products.
