Sunday Adongo, alias "Olusey", aged 24, has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in hard labour by a Kumasi Circuit Court for possessing 66.7 grammes of Indian hemp.
He pleaded guilty.
Police Inspector Philip Bebli told the Court that on July 23, last year, the police had a tip off that some people were peddling drugs at the Race Course in Kumasi.
They went to the place and caught Adongo with the drug and when questioned he said it belonged to another person but he could not lead police to the owner.
