Bags of seized wee<\/strong><\/p>\n

About
\n1,000 bags of Cannabis known in local parlance as \u2018Wee\u2019 have been burnt in the
\nAshanti Region upon the directive of a court.<\/p>\n

The
\nbags of \u2018Wee\u2019 were part of exhibits marked for destruction after completion of
\ncases. In the presence of the police, the substances were set ablaze at the Oti
\nLand Fill Site, near Kumasi.<\/p>\n

DSP
\nJeremiah Alale, the Drug Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU) Commander, told DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong> that the illegal substance had been in police custody for two
\nyears and upon the orders of the court, they were eventually destroyed.<\/p>\n

The
\npolice officer justified their decision to destroy the 1,000 bags of \u2018Wee\u2019,
\nsaying \u201c\u2018Wee\u2019 is an illegal commodity.\u201d<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid the police had vowed to curb the selling and usage of \u2018Wee\u2019 in Kumasi and
\nthe nearby communities, adding that \u201cthe fight against narcotic drugs continues
\nunabated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey
\nhave changed their modus operandi and we are quite abreast of the trend. The police
\nare determined to fight on,\u201d he assured the public.<\/p>\n

He
\ndisclosed that the police had worked tirelessly to close down many \u2018Wee\u2019 bases
\nin the city through frequent swoops. \u201cKrofrom Columbia, Ayeduasi Cemetery,
\nKwadaso Wood Market and other \u2018Wee\u2019 bases are not active now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
